Things I said Alhumdulillah for in January 2020…
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 January:
- Surviving the jet lag after returning home from the UK. Boy, was it a challenge…but we did it! Phew!
- Celebrating Little Z turning 2 years old! Eeek so incredibly exciting…yet not so much looking forward to the terrible twos though…hehe! Here’s my annual birthday letter to him.
- Crafting with Master Z, whether it’s doodling away or making his Crazy Hat for school, I love crafting with my little man.
- Self-teaching myself the art of Brush Lettering via the Pretty Paper Studio Online Workshop.
- This little blog turning 5! I am feeling very thankful for the opportunities and friends it has given me…and I hope there is more to come! Here’s a little tribute to how far this blog has come, especially over the last year. Thanks for sticking by!
- Fluffy Pink Clouds. I can’t stop staring at the gorgeous sky, especially just after sunset during this winter.
- Being nominated by The Mother, Baby & Child Awards 2020 in the category of “Parenting & Lifestyle Influencer of the Year”. I would be delighted if you would vote for Mummy On My Mind here!
- Attending Master Z’s Parent Teacher meeting at school, and leaving content with the knowledge that he is doing well academically, but more importantly that he is a sweet boy.
- Hosting friends over for a dawat party at home.
- Master Z being so brave, whilst getting his 5 year old vaccine shots as well as a tooth filling.
- Exploring Emirates Bio Farm with the family and being able to harvest our own veg! Way more exciting than it sounds, promise!
- Starting to properly homeschool Master Z in Islamic Studies and teaching of the Quran. I bought the Beginner’s Bundle from Safar Publications – my full detailed review on IGTV can be found here.
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 January last year! What are you thankful for? Feel free to share your moments in the comments section below.
