Hadith of the week!

Narrated by Abu Huraira:

Prophet SAW said, "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials" - Bukhari

Lesson: Be patient when trials befall you, for a great reward awaits after :)

Freedom of beliefs!

Salam beautiful bloggers!

I have been thinking about this a lot... About how Islam is always being blamed, pointed at, and laughed at.. It's funny how the more Islam gets bashed, the more I love it..

It is hard to accept it sometimes especially when the media constantly talk about it.. but we know better than they do..

We all know that in our belief, we don't kill, we don't do suicide (in fact it is very haram to harm oneself), we don't oppressed women such and such..

So my message here, please always stand for your belief wherever you are! Be proud of who you are.. And don't follow information blindly..

We are taught not to be cowards and always encourage the right..

Summer Breeze

The kind of "rap" I listen to...

"Cause your soul is worth more than the dollars and cents,
All the money in the world couldn't buy you happiness
Cause "verily, it is in the remembrance of Allah, that hearts do find rest"

Quotation of the day!

We have been told by my doctor that walking 30-45 minutes a day will make the whole delivery process easier (inshAllah) so me and hubby have been going to the park a lot lately.. Usually we walk on the trails but today, my husband decided to take me to this park that used to be a HUGE farm! So when we got there, I was honestly not excited because the trails are not covered with trees, therefore NO SHADES.. But whatever, I still walked along behind him, trying to hide from the sun (it was honestly really hot today!).. So after walking for about 10 minutes-ish, he finally said "ok we're here!" and I was like... "huh?" so then we walked thru this bushes and then there was this big tree with so many branches and a small river beside it and a swing (I think someone has been going to this "secret place" and put the swing there, cuz it was a very simple swing; a block of flat wood and some old rope..) It was a very nice hiding place.. very calming (you can hear the sound of water streaming down, birds chirping, and no car sounds)! So I just sat on the swing while my husband did his own thing, he lovess nature so whenever we go to places like this he always explore... 

She's in town!

Hands down I love my girls!

On friday, we decided to make cupcakes... Everything from scratch, with no mixer!!
I tell you! It was a work out and a half.... Whisking, mixing dough, making this fluffy and soft this and that lol...
But hamdullilah everything turned out tasty! Except, we failed on making the icing!!!!! Mixer was indeed needed for this part.. My friend doesn't have a mixer and she forgot to tell me to bring mine, so we attempted making the icing with spatulas and of course our muscles hahaha but yeah.. failed big time! Nevertheless we had fun and spent quality time together... Oh! and our friend was visiting.. So it was pure chillax girly time...

Here's some footage of our funs! :)

We had some left over mix so we made vanilla almond cake out of it.. 

1st batch of the cupcake mix was made with white flour, and the 2nd batch was with whole wheat flour :)

She was excited to see my puffy belly as you can tell :)

Head over heels for this gadget called "tablet"

Salams beautiful people!

Soooooo I've been thinking hard about getting this tablet gadgety stuff.. it's the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" (1st version of their tab).. I'm not a Mac person, so when iPad came out I totally ignored it.. but for some weird reason, I fell in love with this one.. I think the fact that it's reasonable for me (size,price and specs) makes me go more craaazzzeeeehhhh!

This is what it looks like....

Isn't it so cute?? 

I'm still trying to convince my husband to let me get this thing haha cuz he thinks that I have too much useless gadgets at home..  *sad to say, it's true... my junks*

Sundate BBQ @ Laurel Creek

Salams!

So finally summer is here, it came pretty late this year (our winter was sooooo long).. nevertheless, we are thankful!

Last weekend was the perfect weekend for outing, so my and my husband decided to go BBQ at Laurel Creek. Laurel Creek is a conservatory park in our area, we had to pay to get in hahaha most parks are free here, but then again, the free ones aren't as pretty :p

He told me the day before that he was going to do all the food preparations, I was only in-charge with utensils and rags! lol... He wanted to spoil me for a day! 

Anyhoooo, he ended up making Thai sauce chicken wings (drumsticks in our case).. It was very tasty! He marinated it for almost 12hours...

We didn't go all out on our bbq date, it was nice and simple..

The main entree was the chicken haha... we had some afghanistan bread, russian salad, and grilled zucchini.. and of course, after the park, we had to stop by at Starbucks to get my Green tea frappucino (:

I love this part of summer, where we can go to the park, enjoy the nice breeze, cook outside, and lay on the grass..

Here's some pics from the bbq..!

Away into my hidings for a couple of months...

Salams everybody,

I know it's been a while since i posted something on my blog... It's quite sad that I left it untouch since february! Buttt.. I have my reasons!

Well, Alhamdullilah I am now 22weeks pregnant... and that is a valid reason of why I haven't been writing.. Back in February I was on my first trimester, and I had quite severe morning sickness and all that.. I wasn't myself, trust me... hahaha All you moms know what I'm talking about :)

Alhamdullilah I am back to being myself now.. therefore I decide to start posting again...

Actually, during these couple of months I have forced myself to learn about cooking more, so I will have new recipes post up! InshAllah :)

This is my baby bump @ 22 weeks... Wish me and the baby well until delivery ;)

Salam!
xoxo
