Ramadan with kids!

Ramadan Mubarak! The most blessed month is here upon us and we cannot be more excited! Alhumdulilah, our home is clean, the decorations are up and we have stocked up on dates! We are ready for Ramadan! ❤️ I have been following the same Ramadan traditions in my home since my son was 3 years…

It’s almost Eid! As we are heading towards the end of the blessed month of Ramadan, I’m sending you all loads of best wishes & hope Allah accepts all our prayers & good deeds. May we all be blessed with His infinite Mercy & Love! Ameen! This year I’m going to spend Eid with my parents and sisters in Saudi Arabia! It will be a very special trip as soon after Eid my sister is getting married! This past week has been so hectic for me with fasting, packing for the long and exciting trip, and making sure that I get everything done before the trip. Due to all this craziness, my planned Eid cards for family languished on the back burner. Three days ago, my son came up to me and said, “Ammi, when are we going to make Eid cards to send to our family? I love crafting with you!” All those years of making Eid cards with the kids flashed before my eyes. All the times when I had involved them in crafting only to be abandoned midway and left to finish on my own. But Zayan’s coming and asking me this question proved that no matter how I might have forced them to help in making these Eid cards, they have definitely become an important family tradition. So, with only three days left before we departed for Saudi, we set out to make our Eid cards. We got inspired by the pop-up cards we are seeing all over Instagram and Facebook. So here now I present to you our version of the “Pop-up Crescent Eid Cards!” Our family Eid card tradition is to dress the kids in their Eid best and take Polaroid photos of them. A photo is then stuck inside each card with a special quote. The result is a gorgeous handmade Eid card with a love-token inside for the recipient. Needless to say, this is the most treasured Eid card for my family!

Ramadan Kareem to all celebrating this beautiful month! May this Holy month give us all many blessings and much happiness. Ameen! Our family Ramadan traditions are something the kids are very excited about and eagerly look forward to every year! I started these traditions when my son was 3 and now he is 9 years old, Mashallah! When we had finished setting up everything last night, he came up to me and said, “Ammi, the Ramadan decorations get better every year and this year is the best!” ❤️ I’m sharing my DIY decorations and traditions with you all.

Ramadan is almost here and it’s the perfect opportunity to teach younger kids about this Holy month and help older ones to increase their knowledge about Islam and its history. I have set out my collection of Ramadan books for my kids to read and they are so excited! Over the years I’ve have added more books as my kids have gotten older & past the board book ages. Today on the blog I’m sharing our all time favorite Ramadan books for different age groups.

Repost from @pompomflipflop using @RepostRegramApp - While @jiujitsuponytail is partly a silly story about a girl’s stubborn anthropomorphic hairdo, its significance is to honor the father-daughter relationship—and show how raising strong girls is an ongoing act and responsibility expressed in the quotidian. Read more about Queen Village’s @mirkhalidali’s debut children’s book at @phillyfamilymag (link in my bio).

Weekends in spring are for wearing floral dresses! 🌺🌸🌼💃🏻 • I posted this picture in my story and got so many DMs asking about this dress and my sandals. This dress is such a beautiful color and extremely comfortable. Definitely one of my favorites! As for the pumps, well, who can resist those cute pink bows? 😍 • Outfit deets: Dress: @chicwish Pumps: @dsw . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ootd #ootdfashion #chicwish #dsw #springfashion #modestfashion #modestfashionblogger #simplepleasures #floral #aquietstyle #thatsdarling #theeverygirl #stylediaries #fashionblogger #styleblog #momlife #igers_philly #phillyblogger #pakistanistreetstyle #myhappyplace #fashiongram #realoutfitgram #webstagram #wanderlust #whatleenadid #pursuepretty #happymoment #bloggerstyle #bloggerlife

I’m obsessed with matching with my baby girl and the fact that she loves it motivates me to keep twinning with her. Although I sometimes wonder how long do I have? 🤔 My daughter’s dress is a wonderful find from @tjmaxx 💖 I fell in love with it and set myself on a quest to find a similar dress. The first place I looked at was @amazonfashion because like they say, Amazon carries everything! 😂 And I was so lucky to have found the perfect matching dress. It was the same color, same lace pattern, had sleeves, was modest and affordable! A total win-win situation! 💃🏻 This is my second dress purchase from Amazon and frankly I’m very impressed. I would have never imagined shopping for clothes on Amazon but here we are! Tell me in the comments if you guys have any great Amazon finds as well. ❤️ P.s: I wish I was as cool as this little fashionista! Those sunglasses are 🤩 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #twinning #twinningiswinning #matchingoutfits #minime #motherdaughter #motheranddaughter #likemotherlikedaughter #tjmaxx #amazon #amazonfashion #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #momblogger #mommyandme #mommyandmefashion #mommyblogger #mommyanddaughter #igers #igers_philly #thatsdarling #theeverygirl #whatleenadid #aquietstyle #stylediaries #fashionblogger #ootd #pursuepretty #myhappyplace #magicofchildhood
