Keeping Marriage Meaningful

Last updated on: January 12, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

I am not a counselor nor am I an expert. But Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me with a wonderful husband who is willing to learn with me and work together to make things even better. Inshallah, the following pieces of advice will help newlyweds or even a couple with many years under their belt. If you were fortunate enough to go somewhere for a honeymoon, make sure a vacation like that doesn’t end with the honeymoon. Go away as often... Read more

A Team Approach to Chores

Last updated on: January 9, 2012 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

Raising children who do housework without complaint and find pleasure in serving the family is a top priority for me. The developmental and spiritual effects of doing chores and sharing in the responsibility of the household are one of the most powerful teaching tools we have as parents, for both our daughters and our sons (I cannot emphasize the sons enough). Now to the practicality of getting kids to do chores! I tried lists, excel sheets, and a white board.... Read more

The Wait

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

I baked up a storm and the breads and granolas are stealthily disappearing. I caught up with laundry and organized closets, the next cycle is already starting to pile itself up with clothes rapidly throwing themselves into disarray. I organized all the toys, puzzles, and books in the basement and just when I turned away, it seems they grew feet and started clambering out of the neat shelves spilling over the basement floor into the living room and bedrooms. Every... Read more

Growmama Picks is a collection of fun, interesting, and/or inspiring links that we share with you at the end of every month. Enjoy! Cold weather may find us all heading towards the library. Here is a fun idea for a library treasure hunt. This piece on filling the inner hole touched a deep, reflective place in our soul. Although many of our readers are already married, this advice for single Muslims is way too good not to pass on. “Miswakin’ miswakin’ yeah! Miswakin’ miswakin’ whoah!” Brighten... Read more

Where I Want To Be

Last updated on: December 26, 2011 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

Yesterday, I took my young daughters to ride the metro to Washington D.C. As we were standing by the tracks waiting for the train to come, I felt something hit my shoes, and I turned to see a blind man’s cane, as he was sweeping it from side to side. He said, “Excuse me,” and walked on, stopping when he felt the raised bumps by the side of the tracks. He stood there, tall and proud, waiting like everyone else... Read more

The Perfect Stranger

Last updated on: December 23, 2011 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

It was a very crowded day at the park. My 2-year-old son was playing happily from one end of the park to the other. As he was climbing a small staircase, he happened to slip and bump his knee. I started to walk towards him to see if he was alright. He was not crying but had just sat down to check for any possible “damage” on his little knee. As I approached him, I saw a young Caucasian non-Muslim... Read more

Hijab Party

Last updated on: December 19, 2011 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

I live in a small university town and we have established a very nice tradition here, Alhamdullilah. When our young sisters decide to start covering, we have an all girls’ celebration. Each girl/mom brings a scarf of their own to share with the new hijabee. We have sweets and socializing followed by an interactive program. A few sisters demonstrate different ways to tie a headscarf and show how to match them up with outfits. The younger sisters are the models.... Read more

My Kids Never Fail to Surprise Me

Last updated on: December 15, 2011 at 5:00 am By Admin GrowMama

The past few weeks have been a huge learning curve for me. Alhamdulilah I was given the opportunity to volunteer teaching little muslims aged 5-7 at a musallah (prayer hall) close by. Being a mother of a 6 year old I found it very relevant to extend my teaching at home to these children and help them understand our deen better. As with anything, we decided to start off with tawheed (oneness of God) and cover all three categories before... Read more
