1. Some days I can handle everything and other days I can barely manage even the little things.
2. The bad days end with a hot cup of tea and a whole packet of chocolate biscuits. I make sure of that.
3. It’s been months since I’ve been to playgroup. I love the mums and their babies but I just don’t feel like doing the small talk.
4. My youngest will be a year old tomorrow. It’s been the hardest year of my life.
5. I wind down my motherly instincts right about the children’s bedtime so that poor husband juggles all three – nappy changing/toileting/flossing/brushing teeth. He does it beautifully mashaAllah.
6. My maternal instincts mysteriously reappear when it’s cuddle, read a story and prayer time just before lights out.


I can definitely to #1, #2 and #4.
Wow, nearly a year old!
I think you’re fabulous with three young ones. I don’t think I could do it!
Happy birthday to your little one. Hopefully the coming year will be easier for all of you. He’ll be talking and walking, I love kids at that stage.
My bad days end the same, with chocolates and biscuits and anything sweet I can lay my hands on.
Salamaat,
Those confessions are relate-able to all mommys…
Inshaallah next year will be much easier for you

May you have many more joyful and memorable ones Inshaalah
Happy Birthday Lil One
You are so lucky to have such a wonderful mother and father. That is the best present of all. Your parents don’t know it yet, but in a few years, they will really miss seeing you this young.
Ya Haqq!
