I was always told that I'm such a dreamer.... And I guess I am

When I lived in Stanger, I would always tell my hubby that I want to move closer to the beach. I want to move to the south coast. I even had it on my vision board. I had a picture of the ocean, the view from a holiday apartment that we used to frequently stay at. And the words Shelly Beach stuck on my vision board.
A few years later, we live in the very same complex that we used to visit on holidays.

Apart from constantly visualising the view and thinking positively about the move. I would always make dua that Almighty bless us with all of my hearts desires and I would visualise the place whilst making dua.

If you believe in manifesting what you want, remember that it will always come from Almighty. As long as you can dream it up, Almighty can provide it.

So my first post for 2022, I want you to dream big. Dream bigger than you ever have before, cos Your Creator can and will provide, if you truly believe.

Happy Sunday
Love.A 💕

This year...... Or rather the last few years have been a real test for me.

Almighty tests us all in different ways, and I have certainly been tested in many.

I'm moving into 2022 very chilled. Very laid back. No sudden movements...
I'm laying down my goals and resolutions for the year and I will definitely be working hard on them, that's just who I am... But I'm going to be more relaxed and enjoy my life more.

I'm going to step back a bit and really smell the flowers. I'm going to sit down and breathe in the aroma of my coffee each morning and allow myself time to reflect and relax. It's going to be more about me and less about everything else. I'm going to take a few extra moments in sujood, allowing my head to rest on the ground, this is definitely the happiest place for me. I'm going to make an effort to read a few pages of Quran after every salaah. I'm going to put more effort into praying salaah on time and with no rush. I'm going to meditate daily. I'm going to take more effort on my appearance. I'm going to eat healthier and be more mindful of what I eat. I'm going to walk those 10k steps daily. Making extra effort to walk the stairs, just because I can.

Looking after myself for me but also for my family, so that they can have the best version of me.

There is light at the end of every struggle.... We all go through some sort of "s**t", and we feel as if it's the worst thing ever. And how will we ever overcome this.

Every couple of months I have these "s**t" days. Where every thing seems to go wrong... And I mean EVERYTHING.

Then it's time re-evaluate my circumstances, my routine, my prayer, my intentions....

I find that in most "s**t" situations, I am lacking in my prayers and my intentions have changed. I try to place Deen (religion) above all else, thats when my life generally goes well. but after some months my initial enthusiasm starts to fade and so my prayers become sloppy and I stop doing certain readings or just make excuses to myself and rush through or altogether not do certain prayers.

Its strange cos when I put my everything into my daily prayers, I know that I feel so much better. That I will always have Almighty only to depend on, and yet I fall. Everytime I fall, it just gets harder to stand back up.
But Almighty is with you always, so when you hurt and crying, that's the best time to pray. When you filled with ecstatic joy n love, that's the best time to pray.

Gonna fill my life with the light of prayer and depend solely on Almighty. May Almighty keep me steadfast in prayer and guide me to raise my children in the best way towards Deen.
In sha Allah Ameen

Sooooo I'm considering intermittent fasting....
Anyone here has tried it and can share some tips.
Apparently there's an app to help. If you've used the app let me know which one.

Thank you in advance.

Have you ever had this feeling in the pit of your tummy that something just wasn't right.... And it turned out that a few hours or days later, it was true...

I call it women's intuition. I'm very good at this, unfortunately....

Someone once told me that I should just let it go, cos the more I spend time thinking about it, I will manifest it. If I just put these thoughts out of my head, they will disappear.
The reason I talk about it tonight, is cos yet again it's creeped up into my head and filling my mind with uneasiness.
I've decided to write it here and then forget about it. Instead I will fill my mind with thoughts of complete joy.... Bring on Grey's anatomy.

Here's to pursuing a better tomorrow...
Hopefully I can "surgeon" my way out of uneasiness.

Good night
Love.A 💕

Being a mom is the toughest job in the world... The thought that keeps me going is knowing that no matter what I do, in the eyes of my kids I'm doing it best. Cos no one can do it better than me... Unless of course its Nani. Then Nani does it best 😊

My mom is Nani to my kids. And I suppose when we don't see her as often as we want, she is the one that does everything "just right".
Nani makes the best cheese toast
Nani makes my head stop hurting
Nani knows how to cut my toast the right way
Really.... I've been giving you breakfast since birth and Nani cuts the toast the right way ...

When I think about how difficult it is somedays to just go through the day, I look back at my younger days, and think about the countless struggles my mum was faced with, and if she got through it and can still smile about the past, then I can get through each day... And then call her to tell her what a s**tty day I had and that her grandchildren were being so annoying 😏🤣

My eldest child turns 14 on Friday....
I'm having anxiety just thinking about this.
She makes me so so proud to call myself her mummy.
She's always been an amazing child.
Literally my strength. My support and "my person"

Yesterday we found out that she won a creative writing contest. And she was so excited that she cried. Obviously tears of joy. This makes me even happier to think how humble she is. She loves to write, but there was a time not too long ago, where I would literally have to beg her to complete her creative writing essays etc.
Eventually I just left her to her own and she surprised me.

Im all for prepping her for her future and giving her the freedom to decide on her own path in life. I'm just here to help and guide her and be there if she stumbles.

You're an amazing young girl , never forget just how much I love you.

.
I've never seen more obsessed with anything else tshe is with her little Baby brother.

When we 1st told zai we were having another baby, she burst into tears... Not of joy.
She was concerned about me. How was I going to handle having another baby, under the circumstances. (long story)

But that's just the way she is. Super sweet angel child. She turns 14 this month and I just can't believe that she is so grown up for her age. She's been my support throughout my madness and I just don't know how I could ever live without her.

My dearest darling, one and only, daughter.... I love you to bits and more. And I appreciate every single thing that you do. From loading the dishwasher, to setting the table and everything else in between.
Thank you thank you thank you 💕

My latest pastime.....

Yes its little crochet shoes for girls. Don't stress, not cross dressing my baby boy.

Somehow a very relaxing pastime. And I can do with Hamzah in my arms asleep.

Stay tuned for more....

Best big brother.....

Uwais loves his "little bro" so so much. I call him the baby whisperer. If Hamzah is fussing or crabby, Uwais will offer to carry him and calm him down. And most often he succeeds. He always reminds Hamzah, that it was his duas that made Allah send him to us.

May Almighty keep the love between these 2 brothers strong always.

Decided to share some of my interests here....

Last year (2020) Zaibaa, my 13 Yr old daughter went to school, after being homeschooled for 3 years. I wanted to do something Xtra special for her n did calligraphy on her books.
I bought these gorgeous covers from but they had a brown branding on the side. I didn't like it and stuck this white piece of paper over it. Still not satisfied, I tried my hand at calligraphy. Basically looked at a Pinterest image of this font on my phone and wrote it out.

Hubby was annoyed with me, saying that I was just making more work for myself but I was actually quite enjoying myself.

Have not really done any other similar stuff after, but when I came across this picture today I just wanted to share it here also as a reminder that I can do whatever I put my mind to doing, and I can have fun doing it.

Have a lovely Sunday evening.

Sweet dreams and good night
Love.A 💕
