My New Best Friend

Last updated on: July 5, 2013 at 10:18 am By Admin GrowMama

I want to apologize to my childhood best friend. I hope you are not offended by the fact that you have been replaced. My new best friend and I have only known each other less than three years. Yet, in that short time we’ve become very close. My best friend and I like to gab about boys. Okay, just one in particular. We talk about how handsome and nice he is, and she tells me how she loves it when... Read more

Being the Change

Last updated on: December 27, 2012 at 6:00 am By Admin GrowMama

“O ye who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere” (2:153). I’ve been told many times in my life I am a patient person. I think I am. I thought I was. Now that I am a parent I feel I have stepped into a whole new dimension of patience, and I have a lot to learn. Everyone talks about the “terrible two’s” of childhood, but the two’s are a breeze... Read more

Home for Christmas

Last updated on: July 5, 2013 at 10:22 am By Admin GrowMama

It’s that time of year again, when the snow begins to fall, the sky is a silver ribbon, and the cold air hangs low, seeping into every bone. Fireplaces burn bright, hot cocoa sits on the stove top, stockings hang low, and families gather to decorate their Christmas trees, as the scent of pine fills their homes. Presents are wrapped with love and care, and cookies and milk placed on bedside tables as hopeful children anticipate the return of Santa... Read more

A Sweet Gesture

Last updated on: July 5, 2013 at 11:05 am By Marwa Aly

Last autumn, a kind family from the neighborhood gave us an older television. It was a big, sturdy clunker, the kind of thing you don’t mind putting in a family room with young children and nerf balls. They were even so kind as to haul it over to our home and set it up for us. To return the kindness, I baked some of our traditional Ramadan cookies for them last December. I knew the mother, Natalie, enjoyed cookie exchanges... Read more

Immediately I was shaking with fear for my loved ones, terrified for the world they will inherit from us. As the day progressed, my core beliefs regarding gun control surfaced.
