Is it You?

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

If picture is too small click here.

I got this from a friend and thought it was funny. Although the words I got do not all describe me if I might say so.

My words were: Serve, Elegant, Sweet and Charming.
Later on I found out Serve was part of Reserved, which might be right.
Elegant does not really apply on me.
Sweet and Charming, also not really if I might say, but others have said it to me.

I'm curious with which words you all come up.

Allah hafiz, take care.

Time for a change

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Insha'Allah you are all doing fine.

Since I'm hoping, insha'Allah, to be back from now on, I decided to go for a change of colour.
Green looked like a nice fresh colour to me. I thought of changing the whole style aswell, but maybe that is a too big change.

Don't be suprised to find my blog looking totally different within a week.

Hope you like it.

Take care, Allah hafiz.

Short update

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Insha'Allah you are all fine.

Alhamdulillah everything is fine here.
I still owe you 3 Friday wisdoms I am aware of that.

I've been busy with my house, family and the Eid that has passed.
During pregnancy and first months here it's has gotten a little messy over here. Not visible for visiting people and not even for ourselves if we just kept the closets closed. But I know it's there so decided to sort all of that out.

It only takes little longer if you can't work on it continiously. But alhamdulillah I'm really hoping to finish it this week.

Little Two is awake more aswell. So LT needs more attention too.

So insha'Allah I'll be back from next week.

Allah hafiz, take care

Cramps

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Cramps, and particularly stomach cramps.
We probably all had to deal with them in the first weeks/months of our lives. And it was until
nearly 2 years ago when they were being introduced to me again.

First Little One got them and nothing really seemed to help. I've been walking around with LO for days, but alhamdulillah that time past. A year later we used Infacol and that seemed to help. But the
cramps were not as bad then.

I felt very said for LO during these periods and wondered what she felt. Alhamdulillah I got what I asked for, cause for a year now even I sometimes get them. And let me tell you 'It ain't fun'.

Little Two now also has them every now and then. I usually give something that should help, and maybe it does but LT still has them.
Insha'Allah this phase will pass soon.

Insha'Allah you( and your little ones) don't have to deal with cramps.

Allah hafiz, take care.

DIY: Another try

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Insha'Allah you are all in good health.

Since my pregnancy is over I have, alhamdulillah, some energy to do
things again. I thought of joining the Kids Clothes Week over on http://www.elsiemarley.com/.
Of which I came to know on one of my favorite sewingblogs. Now I
only follow 3 or 4 sewing blogs and the rest of blogs are of my fellow
sisters. Please feel free to  dispose your favorite blog  in the
comment section.

But anyhow, now I got the energy I don't really have the time. So the
one hour everyday for a week, what were the rules for the Kids Clothes
Week, resulted in not even an hour in the whole week. But
alhamdulillah at least it's something.

I'm making a pair of pants for Little One, made from an old pair of pants of mine.
Next to that I have some things I want to make: gloves for Little Two, a Kameez for Little One and I have to make some shalwars shorter. Insha'Allah I remember to take pictures so you can see the results and the making of.

For the result of the pants you have to wait at least another week.

Allah hafiz, take care!

Well I can't say I received nothing I wanted, cause I did receive things I wanted, but the last part is nice in my opinion. Sometimes you get things or things happen of which you think 'WHY', but later on it turned out to be for the good.

Email

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Insha'Allah you are all doing fine. Alhamdulillah I am, and my family as well.

I've been thinking lately, cause the last weeks a lot of blogpost ideas arise in my mind. The computer though is a no go area if Little One is awake, which is almost the whole day. Cause in the evening we usually go to bed at more or less the same time and the same for waking up in the morning.'
Now I had seen a while back some option to post through email or something like that. Insha'Allah that will work for me.

Usually when Little Two wakes up for drink in the night I stroll the internet on my mobile phone, but for some reason I can't open blogger.com on it. So insha'Allah the email thing will work for me.

I'm now going to read how that all works so insha'Allah I will be posting more regularly soon.

Allah hafiz, take care!

Friday Wisdom

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I read this verse some days ago on the blog of a sister. She was talking about faith and (our) kids. At that moment I was drawn to this verse and wanted to share it with you people. So here it is.


3:92
Sahih International
Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah ] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

(Surah 3; Verse 92 (http://quran.com/3))

I think it's important to share with others, not keep something behind because you love it so much. Because anyway you will lose it someday or it might break(depends on what it is). (No I'm not a scholar to know exactly what this verse means, but by reading it this came to my mind. Just want to make clear that it's not an explanation of this verse)

Late again

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Again late with friday wisdom. I will post 2 the coming week insha'Allah. I did have a nice quote but no time yesterday to put a nice text with it.

I'm gonna try to make one day free to do all blog posts, so I can already put the friday wisdom posts ready. Now sometimes it's friday and I don't get the time to do a nice post. Plus that sometimes I have Ideas but don't see the chance to work them out.

So stay tuned for coming week cause than I will post the quote of this week and the one who is suppose to come on friday, insha'Allah.

If it works out I will insha'Allah be back in blogging-country soon.

Cake watching and more

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I thought of this title already 3 months ago, planning to write about Little One. But I ended up not having time for it. But now alhamdulillah I have energy again so I don't do naps everyday anymore. I knew I was little tired during pregnancy, but after delivery I found out how less energy I had that time. I feel like reborn, sort of.

Alhamdulillah we are all doing fine. Little One(LO) is very fond of Little Two(LT), masha'Allah, giving kisses all day, wanting to take care of her all the time. Ofcourse that demands me to be very sharp, because Little One would love to pick up Little Two. Insha'Allah in a couple of months I can go to the toilet without having to lock LT in the bedroom for security reasons. Than insha'Allah LT's neck will be stronger and the rest of her body aswell ofcourse. LT will be little bigger, maybe even on the move already Allahu a'lem.

Anyway I was planning to tell how LO was so happy watching cake in the oven that she didn't want to nap until it was time to switch of the oven. By that time it was almost time for visitors to come, which ofcourse is also very interesting. Alhamdulillah it was a long and tiring day, but we survived it.

Now still the oven is a nice distraction of other things. If I am making something in the oven and I don't want her to go some places I just ask LO to look if the food is ready and LO will come running to check it out.

I have to admit I'm truly blessed with LO and LT, alhamdulillah. I don't think I can say that enough.

Well this was it for now.

Insha'Allah I'll be back soon.

Allah hafiz, take care.

Little Two has arrived!

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I'm very sorry I missed out on a Friday Wisdom post. And ofcourse that it has been quiet overall.
Litlle Two decided to show up earlier. I was due tomorrow, Yes possibly on Eid. But Little Two decided to show up 10 days before. The first days were tough, we all had to adjust and I had been awake for 36 hours before I finally got some sleep. Don't worry I had and fast delivery, alhamdulillah everything was ok with all of us, but Little Two was born in the middle of the night, so that's why I didn't get to sleep then.

Alhamdulillah a week later and finally caught up with the sleep I missed out on. I already can't remember the feeling of just being with 3 persons, 4 now seems so normal.

Alhamdulillah Little One likes Little Two also very much.

This was a short update. Insha'Allah I'll be back on the net soon.
Eid Mubarak to all of you(already hehe)!

And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him.

Friday Wisdom

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Allah the Almighty said:
'I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed."
(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: 'I am as My servant expects Me to be.' The meaning is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to mock the Almighty.
[Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).]

Moms

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I read this story on a blog of a Sister and I wanted to share it with you as well.


A Story

A man came home from work and found his 3 kids outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.

Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?' 'Yes,' was his incredulous reply. She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'

 I recognised things in this piece, that's why I wanted to share it with you people.

Taking rest

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

Sorry for not being there so much lately. But the doctor ordered me to take more rest, so trying my best to do so. Insha'Allah next time I see her she will tell I can do bit more again, so I can at least put some posts ready for later on. Otherwise it is going to be quiet here for a long time hehe.

But do not worry, everything is ok alhamdulillah.

Catching up

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I'm still trying to catch up from our sick-weeks. Trying to fix the home back to normal, trying to follow your blogs before getting to my own. So it's still a litlle quiet out here. Alhamdulillah I remembered it is friday today so I managed to post a quote fast. By the time this post comes online it's not friday anymore, but who cares. When I have time I write as much as possible which results into putting posts ready for other days. Otherways it will be quiet here a lot and then all of the sudden you would get 3 posts in one day. So trying to spread it out.

I think, if I have time insha'Allah, I'll look for some nice quotes for the Ramadan already, so you at least have a post each week. Just this morning I thought maybe writing on paper first is better, but you'll will find out little later that that is not the case. Still have to type that post, but this came in my head now first so first you have to deal with this.

I have to say, big thumbs up for everyone who is posting regularly and has kids, work etc. I don't know how you do it. Because one kid and being stay at home mom I'm busy a lot. Ok I might be pregnant and going towards the end, so I do have a little less energy and Little One is not allowing me to sit on the laptop for a longer amount of time, but that are no excuses. I'll try my best to keep updating regularly.

Insha'Allah I'll be writing to you again soon.

Unaivalable

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

I already want to give you a heads up about the fact that during Ramadan(August) I probably won't be posting much. Next to the fact that I want to spend more time on Deen, I'm also due in that month. Ofcourse we don't know exactly when Litlle Two decides to show up, but I'm still expecting that month.

I want to give the fasting a try aswell, but that can mean less energy and if Little One permits a litlle more sleeping during the day. But anyways it can be that I won't be posting much for 2 months, cause I think I have to get used to having another blessing to take care of. It'll probably take some time for me to adjust to it. But I'll try to be creative a lot the coming weeks and hopefully/insha'Allah I can put some posts ready for that time.

So if you find me missing commenting on your blogs or blogging myself during that time, you'll know what is going on.

Entry in to the friday wisdom.

Hi to all/ Assalamu alaykum,

A sister has a blog that I've been following. She decided to do a friday post with quotes/sayings/Ahadith.
She kindly asked people to join in, and I decided I wanted too.

I had already been thinking about it, but then thought, maybe somewhere in the future. Now she invited people and that is the chance to do so myself aswell. If you want to participate aswell do click on the picture below and leave your blog url there.

Because I have too many things to do, I will start of coming friday and not today. Sorry for that, but my little one decided to sleep late, which means now only I have some time to clean and cook before my visitor comes.
