Alhumdulillah Series

Things I said Alhumdulillah for in February 2018…

 Alhumdulillah 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. Finally getting out and about with my little one. As nice as it was to be at home for a month postpartum, learning Little Z’s cues, this month I finally venture outside with both boys in tow and it felt good! Really good!
2. Visiting the Dubai Safari with family. It turned out to be a great family fun day, thanks to the beautiful weather, and Master Z really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Also, he preferred the half-submerged-in-water Hippos as opposed to the big cats!
3. Midnight hugs with the husband, as we look on to both our sleeping boys, whilst we are both sleep deprived, tired, but thankful nonetheless.
4. Meeting with friends for an outdoor breakfast, and enjoying the last of the winter breeze before Spring replaces it with heat, heat, and more heat!
5. Little Z’s first smiles! They are so incredibly rewarding and so frequent now.
6. Creating this month’s Pretty Paper Studio Crafts project and feeling pretty creative.
7. Gaining confidence in breastfeeding Little Z in public, and managing to go out with both my boys on my own! Eek!
8. Little Z’s first Saturday Brunch, courtesy of Address Dubai Marina – Mazina Restaurant. 
9. Ranting to friends. Nothing like it.
10. Planning an upcoming party and having the venue of my dreams confirmed for booking! Woohoo!
11. Receiving the hand cast frame from First Impression Dubai of Master Z and Little Z, which I am sure will be treasured forever.

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!
