Deciding on when to start giving your child solid is really a personal choice. People from my parents generation used to feed babies from the age of 4 months. Even if you read on the net, they say that it is safe to start giving them solids at 4 months but advisable to only start feeding them at 6 months. We chose 6...

I'm a mess. Everything is a clutter that I keep on forgetting things! I'm sooo disorganized. I need to buck up. I need to plan and organize my things - and my LIFE! People are wondering how I do it all at once - run a part time business, work full time and still be a mummy - the truth is I'm struggling....

When I attended a talk by Mufti Menk last 3 weeks on parenting, he pointed out something very true in our modern era of hi-tech. With the smartphones, we spend so much time on these social medias (Facebook and Instagram and Twitter), just to keep ourselves occupied that it has become a habit. Image from Google Whether its 'going into the lift' or...

Hidayah or in other words 'Guidance from Allah' is something that Allah sends to those He wills. When Allah opens your heart for it, then you are considered the lucky ones. Alhamdulillah.. you will hear people say. However, people forget that sometimes, hidayah comes to those who also seek for it. Its vice versa, you see. Sometimes Allah takes away something that is...

I think only a mom understands another mom. You can say that you 'understand' what you're going through but honestly, only a mom can say "I feel you..." to another mom.  The sacrifices I go through as a mom are just 'challenging' but yet rewarding. I'm not sure how you can feel both feelings at the same time but I just do. I'm...

Time is so valuable these days. I don't know how I manage but I am somehow still surviving. I realized that I shouldn't question if there's time to complete certain things, I don't even have the time to question that in the first place.. I just do it. This is me with one child, juggling time between work, personal, family and business. Its...

Aisya is now 8 weeks young now. I've started training her in the car seat about 3 weeks back, when we had to go to the immigration for her first passport. When she's asleep, she's okay. But when she's awake, it really depends on her mood. I've been reading a lot on the net about training your baby in the car seat. The...

It was my 39th week pregnancy check-up. As usual, I had to do my urine test. It was then I noticed that brown spot. I went back to Dr Delaila's clinic and told the nurse about the brown spot, she said, "Waa..that's usually the sign. Do you feel any contraction?" "Err... no. I'm not too sure how its supposed to feel like," I...

Just yesterday, I went for my now fortnightly checkup. 34 weeks 4 days. Doctor Delaila told us that the baby has turned around now, with the feet at the top and the head at the bottom - good news alhamdulillah - no more bridge position. Meaning a very big possibility of normal delivery. Baby has also gained 500g from the check up last...

So my cousin Ezyana gave birth last night, and it's down to just me now. We're only 7 weeks apart and we've been comparing notes on the pregnancy for the past 5 months and she's done! She's officially a mummy! And I have 6 more weeks to go :O I asked her a lot on whatsapp on what she took and how she...

Everyone's been telling me that I have that pregnancy glow and that its probably from the baby girl. The truth is, I look at my face in the mirror every morning, and I see all these rashes coming out on my face, and that huge eyebag due to oversleeping (yes, despite popular belief of sleepless nights during pregnancy, I've been sleeping well alhamdulillah)...
