Resolutions

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

It’s fajr time, and for today at least I have kept my resolve not to dig back under the covers. I take a deep breath, a long sip of coffee, and enjoy the peace of silence―a sound that has become almost alien since the school year has ended and summer begun. I make resolutions all the time. Today I’ll start reading a whole juzu’ of Quran a day, and I’ll walk an hour on the treadmill. I won’t eat any... Read more

Acts of Righteousness

Last updated on: July 8, 2013 at 10:42 am By Admin GrowMama

As Muslim parents, we always look for ways to build positive characteristics in our children. In America, the problem of homelessness and hunger – while it is an issue – is not as obvious as in other parts of the world. For many children, the problem of hunger is hidden – something they can’t see or experience. Sometimes our children ask for material items – more games, more videos, etc. – and cannot relate to the fact that some children... Read more

A Special Graduation

Last updated on: June 11, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

On May 23, 2012 my daughter Kay graduated from Pre-K from the on campus school where I attend college and I celebrated her graduation with a cake and special present from her father and me. I wanted her graduation to be special, not only because she finished Pre-K but because Kay had finished three years at my college. She started out going to daycare as a 2-year-old all because I wanted to pursue my dream of completing my degree. My... Read more

This “Game” of Life

Last updated on: June 7, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

A colleague of mine recently told me that her friend has passed away. It was heartbreaking news, even though I didn’t know her friend, only because lately the news of people with serious illness, diseases, and amounts of deaths have been overwhelming. It’s like a wake-up call to the fact that we don’t live forever and the purpose of why we are on this earth to begin with. The day after my colleague’s friend’s funeral, I was hit with even...

Off beat

Last updated on: June 4, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

This past year Maryam has been transitioning from a toddler to a preschooler. This past year I came to appreciate how easy toddlers are to deal with. With her opinion becoming more audible, our daily activities involve striking some deal or another. “Maryam we need to brush your teeth, it’s almost bedtime.” “No! I want yogurt!” “Okay, we’ll eat yogurt first but then brush your teeth, deal?” “Deal.” We are each practicing the art of negotiation, but it gets extremely... Read more

10 Ways to Get to Know Your Neighbors

Last updated on: May 28, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

I had a neighbor a couple of houses down that I only rarely saw going to and from her car. She must have been retired and didn’t go out much, because I could count on my fingers the number of times I saw her though I’d lived next to her for almost two years. In addition, I was a stay-at-home mom, so I either was home, outside on the front yard or just looking out my windows quite a bit.... Read more
