A Journey To Be A Better Mom
Abdurrahman turned 7 years old since last November. That means we have to be more serious in teaching him how to do a proper daily prayer (sholat). Other than constantly reminding him about how to do proper movements during the prayer, plus all the adzkar to recite, we have been sounding to him about […]
After 7 months going back to work full time, I thought it would be fun to share with you how a typical day in my life looks like. My day starts at 5.30 am. My alarm clock rings, and I quickly turn it off. I checked on little girl. Let her nurse for a moment, change[Read More…]
Last weekend we had quite a lot of left-over plain bread, and I thought it would be fun to turn them into mini pizza. I just utilized ingredients that I already had at home. This mini pizza is so simple to make. It only took me about 30 minutes to prepare the sauce and toppings,[Read More…]

A few days ago, suddenly Abdurrahman wanted to be a postman and he started delivering ‘mail’ with his tricycle. As impromptu as it was, i didn’t have enough ‘letter’ for him to deliver.

It’s been a while since my husband wanted to buy our son a child bike so that he can enjoy a new experience of cycling by himself. With Abdurrahman’s birthday around the corner, hubby began viewing available bike models in the neighboring bike store. But suddenly, one night he brought a surprising new for us.[Read More…]
Alhamdulillah Abdurrahman has just finished iqro level 3. Things are smoother now and Abdurrahman is more eager to read every single day. Honestly, I was amazed that he can read part of verses really well. Looking back when he struggled to read even one by one letter, I didn’t expect him to progress this fast.[Read More…]
This is a problem that I faced prior to returning to work. My breastfed baby refused bottle-feeding. Whenever she’s offered a bottle-feeding by her caregiver, She would refuse it and cried unstoppably until she’s tired and fell asleep. Sounds familiar to you? How did i cope with this issue? It is normal if your breastfed[Read More…]
