Cave Under Construction

This week has been so busy for me! We got a few new book shipments in for the next school year and some things for the classroom (more on this later, InshaALLAH), including a couple of surprises thrown in from the husband (what a nice guy).

It was also confirmed that there is no gestational diabetes this pregnancy (woohoo!)so I thank you tremendously for your du'a. I spent about two and a half hours downtown at the hospital waiting to get my Rho(D) immune globulin injection so I couldn't fast that day. I hardly ate anything though. Once you get into the fasting mode, the appetite comes back a lot slower than one expects. I have to get these injections every pregnancy since I am Rh negative.

Here is our Cave of Hira.




It should be good with one more coat of paint. I am using it as practice for my daughter's Qur'an recitations. Each time she has to recite a different surah to get some goodies for herself and her brother and sister. So far there has been a bit of candy and an assortment of dollar store treasures. They are pretty excited about the whole thing so I am glad that we did it. Now I need to find a moment to finish painting it! Read More...

She's So Creative, I Just Love It

I was wondering what to do as a daily activity (with treats of course)and AlhamduLILLAH, I think this is it. I scrapped the advent idea (you know, the one with the countdown calendar)because I am just too pregnant to be creative right now (and really feeling lazy).

This is perfect and there is still plenty of time, (InshaALLAH) to do this.

JazakILLAH Khair Ukhti! Read More...
