Ramadan 2017
The most difficult part of being away from Family is when you have to start a new tradition of your own….
A New place…
A New life….
A New beginning……
This Ramadan is another “NEW” and will be very different for me…..
No Twice a week Futoor at my Mom’s, no hanging out to the wee hours with my sister M playing cards and eating “Hab” (seeds). Read the rest of this entry

Mother’s Day…The day after
For the first time since I became a Mom I can honestly say I have had a “Real” Mother’s Day…..
I mean sure I got the little cute things that the girls made at pre-school, or kindergarten or school….
An extra hug here or there…..
But not a real official celebration of me
SHOCKING right!
I think the girls were always in some activity and the importance of celebrating was secondary…..
I am thankful that I do get my “me time” once in a while but today I would like to share My Mother’s day Wins of 2017
So here goes….
MY Mother’s Day List
♥ I got to sleep in until 9am (hubby took care of the girls)
♥ I got to take a nice long un-interuptted shower.
♥ My morning Tea was delivered to my room
♥ I got the most creative home-made card from Jennah featuring photos of hubby, Jennah & Zeenah with a Mom-trivia identifying me as “A Cooking Mom”
♥ Zeenah made a little pot for my jewlery with the cutest flowers and a thoughtful card highlighting how much she loves our morning hugs and cooking together
♥ I got to wear a DRESS & HEELS
♥ We went to Moxies for brunch
♥ Got the cutest flowers in my favorite color….. PURPLE
♥ Got to go to Michaels for fun and just browse
♥ Baked Brownies with the girls
♥ Watched Bedtime Stories cuddled up as a family (If you haven’t watched the movie its adorable! LOVED IT!!!!)
♥ Made Roasted Potatoes with Sole for dinner
♥ Endulged in our homemade Brownies
As much as I resisted all temptations to do housework I just couldn’t, therefore…..
♥ Washed and Dried TWO loads of laundry
It’s been a great day!!!

Mom, Mother, Mommy, Mum, أمي, ماما
There are so many names that mother’s around the world are called but no matter the name used the love for a mother is universal. Cherish and love your mommies!!!
A big shout out to the person that I am proud to call Mama from miles and miles away…. and I find myself being her replica!
Making life Memorable as a mother and a daughter!

Mother’s Day Gift from David’s Tea
Sometimes it’s about appreciating yourself….
I find so many time I’m just busy thinking of everyone around me and I forget that I have to treat myself too.
While we were at Southgate Center I realized hey what’s more special than buying a few treats for myself and call it my own Mother’s day gift for Myself.
Soooooooo
I indulged…….
and
I splurged……
and
I stocked up
on a few teas and a little bit more from what is now my favorite tea store….. DAVIDs Tea
I just can’t believe it took me that long to actually go in and buy some things from there. I think it was probably avoiding the inevitable of spending more than I need to but its ALL very much worth it!
I couldn’t wait to come home and make me a cup of tea.
Making Life Memorable one sip at a time!!!
