A Muslim homeschool blog to help Mothers simplify, manage and focus on what matters.
Asalamu’alaykum ladies, it’s been a few weeks since my last blog post; finishing up our school year, thinking about the next, and Dhul Hijjah and E’id celebrations, things have been busy here.

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.

Read MoreAsalamu alaykum ladies. Happy Monday! Today’s discussion is one I’ve had on my mind for a while. It stems from the questions we as homeschool Moms constantly ask ourselves. How do I know Im doing the right thing? Am I good enough? Can I really teach my child and prepare him/her for the real world? […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies. A lot of you enjoyed reading my last blog post ‘my first week of homeschooling’ and wanted to know more about how I recovered from a painful start. Yes, recovered! And I’ll be honest, recovery certainly didn’t come overnight. That pressure I felt lasted for a good few […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum ladies, A couple of days ago I asked if you would like an insight into how my first week of homeschooling went a few years ago, and many of you were interested, so here it is. So, my daughter did not go to kindergarten/nursery and I loved having her at home with me; […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum ladies, alhamdulillah its Jumuah today. Since many of us are knee-high in homeschool planning, I thought I would share a few tips that can help save some pennies. Everyone has different budgets, and it’s so easy to go overboard in buying curricula, books and supplies which isn’t necessary. We want to start our […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies. I hope you’re having a nice weekend. A few days ago, I posted a question on my Instagram, asking if you struggle with self-confidence as a homeschool Mom. The result was a staggering 75% YES, and in all honesty, I wasn’t surprised. Why? Because homeschooling doesn’t come with […]

It’s moments during your homeschool season that begin to feel monotonous, and you begin to lose interest in anything remotely to do with planning teaching. It’s not the same as homeschool burnout, which […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu Sisters. We’ve spoken extensively about the home-school balance, creating an environment which sparks curiosity and ensuring our Home takes precedence over school. However, in pursuit of trying to achieve the perfect day, unintentionally we mothers can pressurise ourselves, and seriously drive our selves into the ground. Before we know […]

And although I thoroughly enjoy our homeschool journey there are times it can get tough. Which brings me to the subject of this […]
