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 Alhumdulilah during the past month.

Things I said Alhumdulillah for in August:

1. Getting dentist appointments checked off our summer to do list! Little Z had his first teeth cleaning session and he actually loved it! I definitely wasn’t expecting that but the doctor was honestly so lovely with both boys!
2. Trying to be as organised as possible and getting all the back to school shopping done! I am also over the moon to have the opportunity to work with Marks & Spencers on their Back to School campaign!
3. Turning 29 Alhumdulillah! I was spoilt with plenty of cake, just what I like!
4. Spending a day at Wild Wadi waterpark with the boys, splashing away and going on plenty of thrilling slides! I discovered that Master Z is a bit of an adrenaline junkie.
5. Witnessing the epic show that is La Perle. I can’t recommend it highly enough, the boys were absolutely mesmerised by the acrobats and stunts. A must add to your Dubai Bucket List!
6. Celebrating Mr Z and my 8th wedding anniversary! In sha Allah many more years of happiness and love to come!
7. Mr Z and I got the second shot of the Pfizer vaccine. It had me completely wiped out the next day, and I couldn’t be more thankful for our good health and having access to vaccines.
8. I am happy to announce that I am working with Al Jazira! You can shop Al Jazira eggs & poultry on www.aljazirapoultry.com and get 15% off when using the code ✨BIMUMMY✨ (Free home delivery, no minimum purchase! Yay!) Also, I would love it if you would check out this super simple Egg Muffins recipe I created – perfect for school breakfasts and lunch boxes!
9. Fresh roses in my home!
10. The start of School 2021-2022! Master Z is back to school, heading into Year 2 and Little Z has officially started school, heading into FS1! I am a ball of emotions, and miss my little sidekick so much! All these free hours in the morning is going to take some getting used to….

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 August last year! What are you thankful for? Feel free to share your moments in the comments section below.
