Fathers and Sons

Last updated on: February 17, 2011 at 11:20 am By Marwa Aly

My life revolves around building blocks and sticky hands, plastic cars and before-bed giggles, snack time sweets and wind-up trains, and days and nights immersed in the mind of a just turned two year old. Since my son was born I have been exploring this role called ‘mother’, trying to seek out my way, stumbling often, frustrated often, but always aware of the huge blessing and huge responsibility that comes wrapped up in the tiny package of my little boy....

My Heart’s Content

Last updated on: February 10, 2011 at 10:15 am By Marwa Aly

I have come to realize that I spend far more time asking my Lord of things than thanking Him. With a supportive, compassionate and understanding spouse and healthy, fed, and safe children, all I ask is that Allah almighty keeps this mother’s heart content. -Kariman Elmuradi Kariman is a loving mother to three beautiful children.

I Took My Kids to Tahrir Square

Last updated on: February 7, 2011 at 6:55 am By Admin GrowMama

Today, armed with two strollers and a diaper bag, my husband and I took our 3 kids age 1, 2.5, and 5 to Tahrir square. We were quite the sight amidst the thousands of protesters who smiled to the kids as they waved their Egyptian flags that we purchased on our way in. We were welcomed by everyone, and more than 30 people asked to take the kids pictures and gave them dates and other goodies. As we stood with... Read more

GrowMama Roundup: Talking to Kids About Current Events

Last updated on: February 3, 2011 at 11:02 am By Admin GrowMama

Nusayba (5) draws her feelings about the protests in Egypt. This week, we asked two of our GrowMamas this question: “If you are talking to your children about the demonstrations in Egypt, how are you going about it?” Here are their responses: “I believe in discussing politics and world affairs with our children. If we want to raise children who are not only God conscious, but are also active and passionate about social justice and reform, then I think we best engage... Read more

Embracing Solitude

Last updated on: January 30, 2011 at 3:00 pm By Admin GrowMama

I seek silence. Away from my baby’s incessant demands, away from the madness of world events, away from talking points and talking heads, away from analysts and experts, away from the clamor disguised as music, away from constructed noise channels that refuse to leave me alone. Even as I shut down everything around me, I don’t revel in complete silence. The constant hum of electricity penetrates my senses, the distant wail of an ambulance speaks of an urgency far away,...

Roadblocks to Mercy

Last updated on: January 24, 2011 at 11:44 pm By Mahaez

If He opens a door for you, thereby making Himself known, pay no need if your deeds do not measure up to this. For, in truth, He has not opened it for you but out of a desire to make Himself known to you. (from the Hikam) Since becoming a mother I’ve started to appreciate the incredible blessing of free time.

Of Hot Showers and Cat Poop

Last updated on: January 21, 2011 at 12:45 am By Marwa Aly

This morning, I decided to do something that single people do. I decided to take a shower. You know, a shower. Oh, I take showers all the time, but usually about a day later than I wanted to because of the constant demands of the house and children, This morning, everyone was up, so I deposited the baby in his brother’s room, put on cartoons, grabbed my towel, and headed for the bathroom.

Six Year Old

Last updated on: January 13, 2011 at 10:00 am By Marwa Aly

Last night, as I was tucking my daughters into bed, I watched my six-year old cozy up to her two teddy bears, one on either side of her, and lay her head on the pillow, almost inviting slumber and dreams to envelop her for the next 10 hours. She’s a great actor, that little drama queen of mine! The last to fall asleep and the first to get up, she’s often the only member of our family who sees my... Read more
