So, Are you Ready for Ramadan?

Last updated on: July 13, 2013 at 7:13 pm By Kristina ElSayed

In the weeks leading up to Ramadan, I got this question so, so many times. It seemed like the question that everyone needed to ask, like when you see newlyweds and people keep asking them, so…You Pregnant? Each and every time I got this question, my internal dialogue would start.…No…No…I’m not ready. I’m trying to cram as much fun into summer as possible before summer goes dark during Ramadan….Why does it have to be during SUMMER? Can’t it be during... Read more

Wudu Cling: review and giveaway!

Last updated on: July 10, 2013 at 12:25 pm By Kristina ElSayed

A few weeks ago, I was formally introduced to Woodturtle after following her blog for several years. She writes from the perspective of a Muslim Femenist Convert and Parent of two beautiful daughters. I often find myself nodding in agreement or opening my eyes to a new take on something that has been on my mind. Woodturtle gave a lecture last month about mothering Muslim identity and wanted to interview me about my life raising Muslim Children. I wish I... Read more

Reader Questions: What Happens When You Get Married at the Mosque?

Last updated on: June 30, 2013 at 11:00 am By Kristina ElSayed

This morning, I received this question: I’ve been with my partner now for 15 years, his family are quite strict, my partner obviously not so strict. We are finally getting married this year and are doing a Mosque wedding and a civil ceremony in a hotel. How does it work at the mosque? – I haven’t asked his family and my partner isn’t all that knowledgeable on it either! 15 years ago, Khaled and I married in a small... Read more

I was looking for a part-time job a few days a week, and this job seemed to be a good fit. I had experienced with MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. I also had been writing here for about 6 months at that time. I thought I was fairly adapt... Read more

Reader Questions: Mourning and Funerals

Last updated on: May 24, 2013 at 7:01 am By Kristina ElSayed

This morning I received this question. I have not yet experienced an Islamic Funeral Service, so I open this question to you. I am a preschool teacher in the Midwest. I have been a Lutheran all my life, and almost all of my friends are either Christian or Jewish. Many of the students in my preschool come from Somalia, so I do what I can in my free time to learn more about Somalia specifically, and Islam in general. That’s... Read more

Not Tonight Sweet Boy

Last updated on: May 3, 2013 at 8:03 pm By Kristina ElSayed

This afternoon, I had a fun, light, funny post all ready to go when I had time to type it out. After the last few posts, I wanted to lighten it up, and I thought I’d share some miraculous discovery with you. Then earlier this evening I was cooking dinner and my boy came in the kitchen. “Mom, do you know where Random Name Speedway is?” “Yes, Why?” “Because I think I was just invited to go.” “Just a minute....

Praying, Listening and Reaching Out

Last updated on: May 2, 2013 at 2:46 pm By Kristina ElSayed

You know when you start doing something and then you question your decision and back off? Then you get to a point where you are unsure whether to continue the project, job, book, or just move on to something else? Is this the path you are supposed to be on, or is it a detour that you shouldn’t have taken? These are questions that I’ve been struggling with for the last 9 months or so. They have become increasingly troublesome... Read more
