My thoughts today. #happymuslimhomeschool #makingmemories #Alhamdulillah #Allahumabarik #homeschoolblessing #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschoolencouragement #homeeducators #homeeducating #muslimhomeeducator #musliminstabloggers

I could have made it myself, it would have been quicker and less messy. . . But I would have missed out on the funny stories you tell me about trapdoor spiders and bobcats, how you feel today, and your whimsical dreams. . . It's my chance to spend a moment with you, showing you that I appreciate your patience, when you happily play, while I teach your siblings. . . Our banana loaf not only fills our tummies, but our memory bank too. #myyoungest #happyhomeschooltoddlers #preciousmoments #homeschoollifehack #Allahumabarik #makingmemories #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschooltip #bakingwithkids

One of the ways I keep my toddler happy is by letting him meal prep with me. Today he's in the kitchen mixing up a banana date loaf for tomorrow's breakfast and the marinade for tonight's chicken skewers. We do this in the morning while the older kids are working independently. . . But don't be fooled, if I don't play with him after, he's still not a happy bunny. So some quality one on one time straight after to fill his love bank! . . #happymuslimhomeschool #healthybreakfast #mealplan #mealprep #happyhomeschooltoddlers #toddleractivity #toddleractivity #happykids #homeschoolhack #homeschooltip #homeschoollifehack #homeschoollife #muslimsahm #muslimhsm #homeschoolmom

*Sunnan ar Rawatib* With Ramadan around the corner, we are constantly thinking about the extra good deeds we can do with our kids, so why not start off by introducing the sunnah prayers the Prophet sallahu alayhi wasalam used to perform on a regular basis, the reward of which is a house in Jannah, subhanAllah. Throwback to such a simple lesson we did a while ago...simple yet holds so much weight, Allahuma barik. . .

We finished up one of our more challenging read alouds today, The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry. . . I think the first couple of chapters went over their heads. My youngest was getting flustered. But with all the more challenging read alouds, it was expected. We persevered, and after some time the kids began to enjoy the book...they couldn't grasp everything that was being said but they understood the main themes, and became more accustomed to the language. . . All in all, my kiddos enjoyed the book in the end, and so did I. . . So don't allow a more challenging book put you off. You may be surprised just how much the kids take away from it. #readaloudrevival #readaloud #thelittleprince #bookworm #homeed #homeschool #happymuslimhomeschool #Muslimhomeschool #Alhamdulillah #raisingreader #classicbooks #muslimsahm #muslimhsm #homeschoolmom

With Ramadan fast approaching, I've begun to evaluate our current homeschool year (see my Pre-Ramadan reflection post for how I ask myself the RIGHT questions). . . There's so much to absorb, ponder and learn from. From our overall parenting, to our research skills, pulling together unit studies to having heart to heart discussions...it's a constant battle to get that 'balance' we all crave. . . What are some of the things you feel have gone well in your homeschool this year, and where do you think you could have improved? . . Tag a friend and let's share some perspective, it's amazing to see how our experiences can be so unique and yet so similar. Even if your school year is not drawing to an end just yet, some pre Ramadan reflection is always good! . . #homeschoolchat #gettingperspective #homeschoolsupport #endofhomeschoolyear #homeschoolmomsupport #homeschoolmom #hsmum #muslimhomeschooler #happymuslimhomeschool #homeschool #homeschoolfamily #Alhamdulillah

When the kids make a cake all by themselves, so we can carry on our read aloud - and rush to ice a warm cake. #happymom #happymuslimhomeschool #Allahumabarik #happyhomeschool #Alhamdulillah #readaloudrevival #readaloud #independentkids #baking #homeschoolblessing #homeschoolfreedom #charlottemason #eclectichomeschool

**Printable** No matter how much we plan, schedule, and prepare, it’s safe to say that sometimes those wonderfully planned school days just don’t work out. . . But don’t panic.. . Heres a quick guide to help you recover your day and not let one bad homeschool day turn into a bad homeschool week. . . Print your own copy and slot it into your Homeschool planner - link in bio. . . . Tag anyone who needs some help. It may be especially handy for newbie homeschoolers. . I know I'll be referring back to it all the time!

I prepared a few projects this week, but so far it's been a slow start since I caught a cold. QadrAllah wa ma shafal, it just means we have to tweak a few things and go a little slower. . These kind of 'setbacks' would get to me early on in our homeschool journey, but they don't anymore. . Table work is done. Now, time to read aloud while kids make a 'beach'. Swipe to have a look, I thought it was genius!

Become inspired, not doubtful. . . Take advantage of curriculum reviews, tips, routines, schedules and experiences of other homeschoolers. But dont allow someone else's experience cast a shadow of doubt on everything you're currently doing as a family. . . Have faith in yourself and the choices you have made. . . #happymuslimhomeschool #Muslimhomeschool #homeschooltip #homeschoollifehack #homeschoolfreedom #homeschoolblessing #homeeducators #homeschoolencouragement #muslimsahm #muslimhsm #musliminstabloggers #muslimmummotivation #Alhamdulillah

**My hijab and me** When I think about my own journey with hijab, I vividly remember being told when I needed to wear hijab, but not so much why I should wear it. I wanted to cement a memory for my girls, a deep heart to heart discussion that they would remember inshaAllah. So, since my daughters love having a girls night in, I thought I would make it extra special and have an evening themed ‘My Hijab and Me’. I prepared some questions that I wanted to cover the night before. Then while the girls were outside, I set up the table with cupcakes, icing, henna and candles to make it extra cosy. And that was it… Allahuma barik, we had the most wonderful evening discussing hijab while decorating cupcakes and putting on some henna. The girls tried on jilbab, and niqab, we went through the mushaf reading out ayaat where Allah mentions hijaab, and the girls had an opportunity to ask me anything they wanted relating to hijab. Im sure we will revisit hijab again in a more structured way, but I’m hoping this evening was something my girls would remember and is the beginning of a lifelong love and understanding of our beautiful hijab. . . It is so much more than just a piece of material... . . You can download the questions we used for yourself-link in bio.
