Bloom Where You Are Planted

Last updated on: July 4, 2013 at 8:20 pm By Admin GrowMama

I felt the vibration again. No, it wasn’t my phone. I felt it inside my head, where it’s been happening for the last few days. The vibration would last for hours and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I would wake up in a panic attack, unable to breathe. I was gripped by fear while I was dying again. The emotions always came in one package; the label spelled death. It was the second year since I... Read more

Lean In, Lean Back, Reach Up, Fall Over

Last updated on: April 18, 2013 at 6:00 am By Admin GrowMama

I washed my face for the third time that morning. “I can do this,” I thought to myself as I slowly clamored out of the bathroom, willing myself to drive to work. Even though it was still relatively early, I was going to explain my circumstances to my supervisor. As I made my way to his office, I found myself speaking to Allah in hushed tones; Please Allah don’t let me throw up in his office. Oh Allah, tell me... Read more

The Perfect Mom

Last updated on: April 15, 2013 at 6:00 am By Admin GrowMama

Sometimes I wish I was her. The perfect mom. The one I see when I’m dropping off my girls to preschool. She’s so put together, in her trendy outfit and make-up expertly applied. Wearing those cute high heels I saw at the mall the other day. The ones that were so hip, so expensive, so wrong for me. She’s gives a perfect kiss to her perfect kid and is off to work at her important job, making some sort of... Read more

The Entitled Ones

Last updated on: April 11, 2013 at 6:00 am By Admin GrowMama

We want the best for our kids, so naturally we give them the best. The best food, the best care, the best toys and gadgets. We shower them with praise, make sure they know that we love them unconditionally, and buy them anything that our pocketbook can afford. Unfortunately, sometimes we look back and wonder what went wrong. The society we live in is a privileged society that knows the value of children, the value of praise, and has no... Read more

The Landlord and the Tenant

Last updated on: April 8, 2013 at 6:00 am By Admin GrowMama

Moving is not easy. It’s even more difficult when you’ve left behind a perfectly well-formed life to start afresh. Since moving from an owned house to a rental house, I’m on a constantly watching the kids closely, trying to prevent the house from any damage. I seem to seize every opportunity to remind my kids not to touch the walls with dirty hands or run the truck too hard over the hardwood floors. I ask them to close the cupboard... Read more

Turning Kids Towards Prayer

Last updated on: July 4, 2013 at 8:27 pm By Admin GrowMama

Salah, or prayer, was the first salient form of worship prescribed by Allah the Almighty to our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his followers. It is a vital part of our faith. Once a Muslim reaches puberty, prayer becomes obligatory on him or her five times a day. At this age, the person is accountable for his or her actions and take on a whole new level of maturity and responsibility. For a child who is... Read more

GrowBaba Spotlight: Ticket to Paradise

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

The day was Sunday April 2, 2006. It was like any other Sunday, except that it was during the height of tax season, and I was over two hundred miles away from home, in a conference that I did not want to attend, listening to speakers that I did not care to hear. There were only two speeches left before I could finally return home and get back to work. It was then, at the peak of my boredom, that... Read more
