Through My Muslim Eyes

Life has been a bit crazy as of late. I've been running around so much that time escapes me. I've just been putting a lot of energy into me and my son so I haven't had much time to blog. As of late things are pretty good. My son is starting daycare next week, inshaAllah. I decided to put him there because I thought it would be beneficial for him to be around other kids and learn new things. Of course I went through a list a mile long trying to find the right facility and alhamdulillah the one I found is perfect. The provider as I see it has passion for what she does and truly enjoys being with the children. A lot of the kids have been with her since they were infants and are still there. I'm just excited for my little one and still a bit nervous. Thig is going to be his first time around someone without me or my family.

Plus you can find the fabric you like in whatever color you want and you don't have to have that horrble poly cotton backing that a lot of those niqabs have which I really can't stand. They tend to make me hotter and it sticks to my lips. Also I've made a few abaayat for myslef as well, just basic styles since its mostly what I wear everyday. A sister suggested I should make it into a business, since she technically my first customer who wanted to khimaar. InshaAllah maybe one day, I don't mind accepting custom orders.

AS for everything else, I'm just taking things day by day. I was suppose to be getting married back in April but things didn't work out as planned, so Im taking a back seat to it right now. Of course I want to be married and have a family but it isn't the priority and that was the problem I had before thinking that I needed to be married and desperatley wanting it but Im fi
