Winter Vibes For All: How Our Muslim American Family Celebrates The Holidays

December 16, 2018April 23, 2019

Decorating evergreen trees, exchanging gifts, and adorning your home in winter vibes did not originate with Christmas, but rather ancient traditions celebrating the winter solstice. Last year I wrote an 800-word essay on “Why My Muslim Family Celebrates Christmas”. That … Continue reading Winter Vibes For All: How Our Muslim American Family Celebrates The Holidays

5 days until Eid! One new tradition in our home is making graham cracker mosques. Warning: do not make while fasting. It will quickly go from quality time with the kids to hangry mom is on the loose (which totally happened). 😩Confession, I am terrible at decorating baked goods. When you look up Pinterest fail in the dictionary, it's a photo of my iced sugar cookies. But this project was pretty easy, maybe because after 5 minutes of stressing about the blue icing nozzle, I decided to just put it away. That's my mantra for 2019, if something doesn't bring me joy, toss it. This includes: weight scales and trolls. The shopping list to recreate this is: graham crackers, icing, fancy sprinkles, dome-y foods (meringue, kisses), and baton wafers. Def let me know if you make one! . . . . . #gingerbreadmosque #ramadandecor #ramadan #ramadan2019 #ramadandecorations #Aladdin #grahamcrackerhouse #mosques #mbdailyposts #muslimgirl #islamimommy #ramadancrafts #inspiremyramadan

I’ve been a maker for as long as I can remember. Because as a little girl, whatever I couldn’t afford I could make. #immigrantlife So its only fitting that during Ramadan, my home is a flurry of cardboard, glue guns, florals, and acrylic paint. My theme this year was palms and florals. The biggest addition was our lit 🌴 palm tree. In the early days of Islam, sermons were shared under the shade of a palm tree, and the Quran was placed on a palm stump. The pre-lit palm tree also adds the right amount of holiday twinkle. ⭐️ Click on the link in bio for details on all the DIYs. PS. It’s totally OK to hate crafting and also not have the time to decorate. You are enough as you are. Don’t let carefully photographed and edited social media photos let you think otherwise. 💜👊🏽 🤗 #purpleramadan #mbdailyposts #creativemuslimwomen #ramadan2019 #ramadandecor #ramadandecorations #islamimommy #ramadan #iftar #muslimah #muslimmom #hobbylobby #makeitwithmichaels #crescentmoon

I can’t believe we are just 12 days away from Ramadan. Which means I have 12 days to get my act together. Kian (turning 5 soon) and Zayn (3.5) love holidays, so Ramadan/ Eid is my Super Bowl. Being Type A 😬, I pulled together this list of everything that brings me joy during Ramadan. I have a few spaces left, anything I should add to my list?? . . . . #islamimommy #ramadanbujo #ramadandecor #ramadanlist #ramadanbucketlist #bulletjournal #creativemuslimwomen #mbdailyposts #bujoideas #bujoinspiration #ramadan2019 #ramadandecorations #mbramadan

I just finished reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. There is so much wisdom but one sentiment in particular spoke to me: your life’s purpose will change with every new stage in your life. The key is to not hold on to your past purpose or stress about the future, but really understand what brings you joy in the present. I see that new stage coming in the horizon, I fear it like a tsunami, but hope it washes over me like sunshine. My usual method of handling change. What I know about my present: I want to surround myself with people that radiate positive energy, I want to fill my time with work that brings me to a place of hyper focus (hyper presence), and I don’t want to miss these fleeting priceless moments with Kian and Zayn. Sometimes just knowing what you want is half the battle. 💪🏽 . . . . Photo by @wonthanhphotography #anewearth #eckharttolle #islamimommy #oprahsbookclub #ramadandecor #mbramadan
