Ramadan Mosque
Every year I do my best to make Ramadan a special month in our household. My goal is to help my kids understand the importance of the holy month. Growing up in a large family, Ramadan was always special. It was a time that my siblings and I really bonded, at least now I see it that way. We struggled together, competed on who could fast without cheating and looked forward to the feast my mother prepared for us. Looking back it brings me so…

Purpose
2020 is finally coming to an end and the new year is almost here. I’m usually excited for the start of a new year but I’m not expecting much from 2021. Yes it’s sad, because I don’t think I’m alone in this feeling. Everything is slowly shutting back down again, schools are opening up and not opening, it’s all just blah.

Home School Bus Fail
Homeschooling has always been something I have thought about, but never wanted to do completely. I have already done early intervention for my son, with therapists in out, five days a week. It was draining…But taught me so much. I have a basic communication board in place, with a schedule and chores to be done. My home is set up for in home learning but I always had help. With two kids in school and two too young for school, I was able to keep…
