Welcome…

Assalamu Alaikum, Hello and Welcome…

 This blog is to record all the exciting projects I and my daughter undertake as we travel down the homeschooling path. My reasons for homeschooling are many. However, there is one reason in particular: to attain the pleasure of the One who gifted me with a child to nurture, educate and raise for His Sake Alone.

 Whether you are muslim or non-muslim, I hope that you will benefit from this blog. It will be updated regularly, with pictures, step-by-step guides and my planning (God willing).

Although I have been homeschooling on and off for the past year, we have begun our first six week term of homeschooling which took me hours and days to prepare. However, the thorough planning and endless cutting out (on my part), has been well worth it. We are enjoying the journey and hope that it is one that will lead us to many other journeys as mother and daughter and servants of God.

 It is my hope that this small endeavour is accounted for as one of my good deeds and that as a result, my Lord is pleased with me, and my daughter and future children (God willing) understand their true purpose in life.

 So without furtherado…welcome and enjoy…

    Assalamu’alaykum ukhti I just stumbled onto your site a few weeks and have been reading some of your posts. Maasha’Allah the things you’ve done have really inspired me to be more creative with my kids. My eldest is 8 and I’ve been homeschooling from the start alhamdulillah and it would’ve been nice if your blog was available when she was younger but Qadrullah!

      ummzakariyyah: Jzk for your comments sis. Are you on IHSAN Forum? Would be lovely if you could share your 8 years of experience with us insha’Allah. :)

      shukr: Do you mean the head to toe one sis? I have a black one that I could send to you but you would have to buy the niqab separately.
