We are back in the kitchen! Before I started working, I would invite the kids to come cook with me even when they were toddlers. The first summer we arrived in Houston, we had a great time @thestudiojune summer cooking camp. One of the aspects of Montessori education I love is the practical life and idea of independence. Here’s to teaching them life skills! 🥞 #mojtessoriforkids #muslimmoms #parentingtips #kidscooling #independentkids

I got a lot of questions about this adorable dress. We needed something all white, long, and with sleeves. I never ordered from @sheinofficial before and didn’t even know they sold girls clothing, but this dress was perfect for the school gala theme!

Today our school PTO organized a fun family event @paintingwithatwist! The kids and parents had such a fabulous time. I realize now what a difference it makes when parents are involved with the school community. My parents both worked and I always felt like an outsider because I knew most of my classmates met outside of school. I see the bonds forming between us and the other families. It feels like a truly special relationship. The link between all of us is the school. Although I always preferred homeschooling, the social benefits of school for not only the kids but also my husband and I are definitely noteworthy. I really do feel like I found my village @ilmacademyhtx.

Tried to make @magnoliabakery banana pudding! Even though I’m from NY, I actually used to have this more while living in Dubai than NY. Will be bringing it to a get together tonight. Let’s hope it gets a 👍! Recipe in my story and highlights. 🍌 #magnoliabananapudding #bananapudding #magnoliabakery

This little guy surprised me the other day. My daughter was arguing with me because she didn’t want to clean her play area. She made a snarky comment (because she’s a teenager in a 6 yr old body), and this little guy stood up for me. He responded to her with, “Mama does everything for us. Thank you Mama. I will clean up.” Now, Layaan is the one that ends up doing most of the work between the two, hence her complaining, and side note she apologized right away. But It got me thinking. My friends and I always talk about why some of our spouses tend to overlook much of what we do as mothers. Many times, they don’t even consider it that “hard” and we hear a lot of “my mother never complained.” Well, I make sure to let my kids know. My son did not just become widely observant, he’s been listening. I remind them to appreciate what I do, what their dad does, and to pray for us. I do tell them that one day we will need their help and their support. But as my son gets older, I will make sure to point out all the things I do as a mother and a wife. I plan to remind him how he can be helpful around the home. I will have conversations about sharing the load, appreciating your other half, and acknowledging/providing emotional support for the things they cannot help with. I do this with the intention that he remembers these lessons with his own wife and his own family إن شاء الله. 💗 #raisinggentlemen #raisinggentleman #islamicparenting #muslimparenting #muslimparents #muslimmom #momtalk

I love cooking, but lately I haven’t been feeling it. This started off as just a slowly braised chuck roast, but we were in the mood for ramen. For the recipe of this ramen with braised beef and mushrooms check my stories or highlights! 🍜 #ramenrecipe #braisedbeef #easyrecipes
