A Muslim homeschool blog to help Mothers simplify, manage and focus on what matters.

But today I thought I’d share three things we no longer do in our Muslim homeschool because letting go of things that you […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, how are you? Things have been busy around here which is why I haven’t managed to publish a blog post for some time; my older kids fell a little behind with some academic work, so we’ve had a short-term routine in place the last couple of weeks to get […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, I hope you’re well. After recently holding the free ‘5 Steps to Simplify Your Homeschool’ workshop, I’ve had many messages from sisters who want to homeschool but don’t know where to start. So I thought I’d put this post together to help you get started in sha Allah. This […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies. Alhamdulillah, I’m ready to share my ten-year homeschool reflection with you all. Today’s post is a deeply personal one. In fact, it’s made me pretty emotional and quite teary. As I think back and reflect on how my children were so young, small, fragile, our steps into homeschooling without […]

Asalamu’alaykum ladies, how are you? Personally, I look forward to Tuesday’s because it’s mid-week for us, meaning things get a little less intense from Wednesday onwards, Alhamdulillah.

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu you heard right sis, batch scheduling for your muslim homeschool this time, not batch cooking. Last week’s blog post about time not being the measure of a successful homeschool seemed to have resonated with a lot of you, Alhamdulillah. With so much to do, lots to fit in, and even […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, how are you? Todays post is about something super important in the homeschool planning process; evaluating our home atmosphere (I’ll get to why in a minute).

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, I’m sat here, with my reheated (I’ve lost how many times) coffee, and a list of IGCSE questions I’m helping my teens through. It isn’t the most relaxing way to enjoy a midweek evening; but though homeschooling teens comes with it’s challenges, it comes with a lot of satisfaction […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, it’s almost Ramadan – how time has flown subhanAllah. With not long to go, I know many of us mothers can start to feel pressured, especially when we too want to exert ourselves in our ibaadah.

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, Have you ever had a week, month (or even year) where something keeps slipping off your homeschool routine? And so things do get done, but a few things also slip through the cracks? That even after all the condensing, you find things slip off. That you know something ‘fell […]

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu sis, what comes to your mind when I say the phrase ‘balanced homeschool’? Well, usually when we hear the word ‘balance’, an image of a weight perfectly balancing two things might come to mind, or a see-saw which hangs in mid air, level and straight. Craving that balance is a […]
