A Muslim homeschool blog to help Mothers simplify, manage and focus on what matters.
Asalamu’alaykum ladies, we’re onto our final post in the homeschool planning series; our routine. I remember when I first began homeschooling, putting a routine together was the thing I usually went for first. I’d print off blank templates, and then start to fill them in, based on the curriculum or materials I’d bought. But I’d […]

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’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, 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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
