Grow Mama Picks for December 2014

Last updated on: December 19, 2014 at 11:26 am By Admin

We are wrapping up 2014 with our picks for December. Enjoy! We loved this juz’ Amma chart for encouraging kids to meet the goal of memorizing the smallest chapters of the Quran. This beautiful photo essay broadened our view of maternity leave around the world. These are super awesome ways to infuse mathematics education in natural and organic ways! Our siblings occupy a special place in this world. They share half our genes, and this article makes the argument that they maybe... Read more

The Ultimate Reliance

Last updated on: December 8, 2014 at 10:44 am By Admin

Whimper, whimper. I look up from the onions sautéing on the stove to see Ibrahim, my fourteen-month-old baby, holding a sandwich bag in one hand and a large T-fal frying pan in the other. With intense concentration, he attempts to force the pan into the small bag—an impossible task. Once, twice, three times. He keeps trying. Finally, he turns to me with pleading brown eyes that ask me to help him. Stifling back laughter, a thought strikes me: Ibrahim thinks... Read more

On Being a Woman Without Children: Advice to Mothers and Others

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 10:34 am By Admin

As I sit down to write my thoughts and reflections, I pause to think, where should this story begin and how should it be told. It is an accumulation of 9 years of emotions and confusion, actions and experiences, reflection and clarity, and acceptance with perspective. It’s a simple story of this chapter of my life as a married woman expecting that the next chapter would be as a mother with children. I waited month after month and year after... Read more

Losing My Mind

Last updated on: November 19, 2014 at 9:53 am By Admin

I recently experienced cranial surgery. During this difficult time, I learned a lot about letting go and asking for help. While I always put my trust in God, this time it did not stop the anxious, pre-surgery thoughts from racing through my mind. Thoughts of “possible human error” got the best of me at night. Fears of not returning to my family often squeezed my chest just after I tucked the kids into bed. Usually with a good prayer and... Read more

The Missing Pieces

Last updated on: October 21, 2014 at 9:04 am By Guest Contributor

It is not an overstatement or a generalization to say that all cultures put mothers on pedestals. Motherhood is, by all standards, sacred. In Islam, we use the hadith “paradise lies at the feet of mothers” not only to remind people to obey and serve their mothers, but also to motivate women to become mothers and to encourage us to remain patient and stick it out. Motherhood is supposedly natural and instinctive, yet many challenges that come with the job,... Read more

Growing Pains

Last updated on: September 20, 2014 at 10:11 am By Admin

My son turned five this year. For at least six months leading up to his birthday he was counting down. Many of his sentences started with, “When I’m five…” Five was going to be magical. He was going to be able to run “super” fast, he was going to stay dry through the night, and he was going to eat zucchini. (Still waiting on that last one). What is it about turning five? He...

“Oh, is this your first?”

Last updated on: July 23, 2014 at 12:00 pm By Admin

It seems like an innocent question, “Oh, is this your first?” But inside of me I am not sure how to respond. Do I say, “No, no, it’s my second?” or do I say, “Actually, this is my sixth.” And then watch as they look quizzically for the remainder. Sometimes if I feel a certain kinship with the questioner, I’ll go into it, but then more often than not, I don’t like to hear them say, “Oh, I went through... Read more

Faith, Identity, and Responsibility

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 11:15 am By Admin

My mother likes to tell me how, when I was seven years old and in first grade, I would proudly bring my little prayer rug to the public school classroom, and pray Dhuhr during the class activities period. My teacher was bemused, and my classmates were nonplussed by what they saw as something completely natural to my personal identity. It was just the way things were, molded and shaped by the manner in which I saw my parents treating prayer... Read more

Eid Mubarak from GrowMama

Last updated on: July 24, 2014 at 10:29 am By Admin GrowMama

Eid ul-Fitr commemorates the end of our blessed month of Ramadan. May we be granted the reward of Ramadan, and may God accept all our worship and charity. On the day of Eid al-Fitr, Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) delivered a sermon in which he said: “O people! Verily this day of yours is the day when the righteous are awarded and the wretched are losers. It is a day which is similar to the one on which you shall... Read more
