YAY!!! My first South American visitor!!!
Bismillaah. I recently put up a clustermap ont he blog to see what parts of the world my visitors are coming from. Most of the visits come from the US, Egypt, parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and some parts of Asia. There was never anyone from South America though. That was interesting to me and made me wonder if people in South America had internet, LOL! I found out today that I got my first South American visitor on Oct 29, from none other than the lovely city of……………… drumroll…………………….. Rio de Janero!!! Welco

These are The Days…
Bismillaah. I am so sick and tired of hearing about Beyonce and the Egyptian soccer team. Call me a killjoy, but I am just NOT feeling all the excitement.

It’s Been a While…
Bismillaah. Wow, it’s been over a month since I’ve posted anything!  Time flies by so quickly subhaan Allaah.  I pray that Allaah enables me and you, to use the time that He has given us in the most beneficial manner, to ourselves, as well as to others, ultimately seeking His pleasure, ameen. It’s been non-stop busy around here since towards the end of Ramadan.  First we were preparing for Eid, then the Eid came and went.  (A very, VERY belated Eid Mubarak to everyone :/ …better late than never, right?)  The day of Eid was nice as well as the week that followed, mashaa Allaah.  We tried to get in as much family fun activities as poss
