Ahumdulillah means “All Praise is due to God” and are the words uttered by a Muslim when he/she is expressing gratitude to Allah. I find myself saying this numerous times a day and this post is a collection of moments when I have said Alhumdulillah during the past month.

Things I said Alhumdulillah for in February:

1. Rainy days! Can you believe it is February and still raining? I am loving it, especially the moody dark days that bring a wave of nostalgia with it of living back in the UK. 
2. Watching the joy on Master Z’s face as he wins tickets from an arcade game! So much fun!
3. Unplanned holidays from school due to the Papal visit, meaning I can get a lie in! Woohoo!
4. Being kindly invited to the launch of Lego’s first office in the GCC Region! What an honour, but also it’s a dream office being surrounded with so much lego to play with. 
5. Attending Master Z’s first ever sports day, and even though it didn’t go exactly as planned, all’s well that ends well! Full story here.
6. Being reunited with one of my best friends who was visiting Dubai, and catching up over dinner. These are the girls that I can pick up exactly where we left off, no matter how much time has passed since we met last. 
7. When Little Z has a monster nap and allows you to enjoy a meal in peace. I live for those moments!
8. Mr Z winning “The Best Dressed Man” at the UAE Long Show Jumping event. Proud wife moment! 
9. Back at it with another craft using Pretty Paper Studio supplies: this time Master Z and I created a beautiful butterfly pop up card. Have a look here. 
10. Retail Therapy, but not the kind where you go out to buy clothes. The kind where you come home with a huge stationary haul! Hehe! Currently planning activities and making a Ramadan Calendar for Master Z, and I am so excited to share it with you soon! 

These are just a few of the many times I uttered the words Alhumdulillah this month. Check out what I was thankful for last month here. Also, here’s a list of what I was thankful for in February last year! What are you thankful for? Feel free to share your moments in the comments section below.
