April 24, 2020May 8, 2020 Natasha K

Ramadan Kareem! Ramadan, in the era of Covid19, means new challenges to rise to. Mine includes practicing patience with my children (who are there at all waking hours), planning menus far in advance (in case groceries are scarce), and finding … Continue reading Currently Reading: The Sublime Quran Translated By Laleh Bakhtiar

[Free Printable] The Four Agreements By Don Miguel Ruiz

January 8, 2020April 20, 2020 Natasha K

Have you ever had a rival? In my 20’s I had one. In my mind, I was constantly competing with her to dress better, look better, succeed more. And constantly wondering if I was falling short. I came to a … Continue reading [Free Printable] The Four Agreements By Don Miguel Ruiz

Anyone else wait ‘till the last minute to make Eid or Eidi cards? 🙋🏽‍♀️ Luckily, Kian and Zayn helped me this year. I love fingerprint crafts for kids. The kids made these fingerprint dates! Shape based art is so interesting and fingerpainting is so personal. I love the texture and size. Then I used a gold permanent marker to fill in the bowl. I went fancy with hand lettering but a simple Happy Eid would be cute too. I can believe it’s Eid Eve! Good luck with the last day of fast and wishing you a wonderful Eid tomorrow. 🙏🏽 ⭐️ 🌙 #eidmubarak #eid2020

This year we made home made decorations for our Ramadan tree. The 4 Ps of our decorating: Palms, paper, pipe cleaner, and pom poms. We purchased the tree last year as a focal point because palms have a special place in Islam. 🌴 It adds just the right amount of holiday twinkle. ✨ #purpleramadan

These guys! 👆🏽 We attended our first virtual Iftar this past weekend. The boys were so excited to dress up and style their COVID haircuts. 💁🏽 Our sweet hosts delivered some Iftar treats 🍪, and the kids even played virtual games. Ramadan in the time of COVID-19! Watching the boys this weekend I was struck by how much they’ve grown. Mid-March, the start of school closures was tough. These two were learning how to be classmates and share Mommy at ALL waking hours. I was figuring out how to work and be a stay at home parent. It was a war zone. 1.5 months later, we have all adapted and grown. Things aren't perfect, but as a family, we finally GET each other. Understanding spills into empathy. And all kids, staying at home, deserve it. 💙 #ramadanmubarak

Ramadan Kareem! ⭐️🌙 Is the path to inner peace mastering your inner will? This month, I’m looking forward to pouring over the pages of The Sublime Quran translated by Laleh Bakhtiar. It is the first translation of the Quran done by an American Muslim woman. She is also a Sufi, writer, and theologian. Something Laleh shared many years ago...you can’t have free will until you have a will. Free will is not following your desires. In Islam (and several other religions) free will is being the master of your internal will. And ultimately, mastering your internal will is the path to inner peace. I think that sentiment captures my intentions for this month. May Ramadan be generous to everyone participating! In the bio, I linked to the book if you want to check it out.
