Random Ramblings of a Muslim Mum
Those who know me and my blog, and especially those who follow me on Instagram, know that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I can usually be found munching on chocolate, or cake, or biscuits…which is why I have joined a gym as this ‘addiction’ wasn’t so good for my waistline! So when
Day 256 – Sunday 13th September Was hoping to have a quiet day at home but hubby and the parents wanted to go to Leicester to do some shopping…so off we went. Got to see my nephew who we haven’t seen for a number of years due to family conflict, so was pleased that
I always used to have my nose in a book, often staying up until the early hours as I was so engrossed in reading that I didn’t realise how late it had gotten. Motherhood changed that as I would be too exhausted by the end of the day to keep my eyes open. I have
When I was younger I only ever had one pen pal as a child. This was organised through school to help improve our French for our French lessons. I remember it being so much fun, although sometimes limiting as to what French we knew. We even sent each other gifts, I remember receiving a diary

Another extremely quiet week. I had wanted to make the most of this week and take the girls somewhere but for various reasons it didn’t happen; a cough that won’t go, feeling a bit down and Ā the weather.

Eid is almost upon us again and as a thank you to my readers and supporters I am holding a very quick giveaway for some gorgeous Eid cards! The Giveaway is for a total of 11 cards and include cards from the latest collection from Islamic Moments and a pack of 6 cards from The
I just realised that I haven’t shared a single blog post this year about my gardening exploits. But the Muslimah Bloggers blogging prompt of ‘grow’ inspired me to share my flowers. We had a lot of building work over the winter months. We had a conservatory installed and then we converted the garage to a
A completely boring week to be honest, partly due to rain and partly because I ended up with a cold, but here’s my Project 365Ā pictures. Day 235 – Sunday 23rd August A lazy Sunday, as you can see from Rosie’s chilled out position! Day 236 – Monday 24th August Decided to get the school uniform
When I was weaning Munchkin I did use jarred baby food but options were limited as they were not halal. There was some halal baby food in jars back then but the flavours were limited and Munchkin did not like them. When I weaned Bee the majority of her food I prepared myself and kept
The dreaded back to school shopping is upon us. The more organised mums amongst us are probably all sorted. But if you are anything like me then you are likely to avoid shopping until the last minute! Which isn’t always the best idea as I found last year when I struggled to find trousers that
