I love it when you are playing around with a hypothesis in your mind and then Allah confirms it instantly.
I’ve been thinking a lot about adding playfulness back into my life.
How did I start doing that?

Had this conversation with some children today that “play” is important in adult life as well.
For me it’s cooking, cleaning, organizing, painting, drawing, reading, etc…
For my husband it’s woodworking, driving, building robots with our kids…
Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks stocked in case of a bad day. You have more control over your joy than you think.

Time and time again I get reminded how important it is to take time out for myself.
I literally operate from a full cup.

Jamaica is the same way.
People welcome kids with smiles and enthusiam.
The attitude toward children in Mexico couldn't be more different than the U.S.
Children aren't merely tolerated, they're actively welcomed everywhere. And not in a weird, overly patronizing way
They're just expected to be part of any typical adult situation, not tucked away in a safety-labeled, anesthetized, parallel kids' world
Spend all day resetting the house after hosting for a whole week.
As much as I love having people over I also love getting back on routines.

The small luxuries in life:
- Slow mornings
- Freedom to choose
- A good night's sleep
- Peace of mind
- Calm and boring days
- Being present
- People you love
- People who love you back
A quick tip on how to implement these prayers into your daily life.
Split them up.
Anchor them to things you already do.
10 Durood while brushing your teeth.
10 Istaghfar when starting the car.
Before and after Namaz. On your walk. Right before falling asleep…
Based on a vision of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih III (rh), to safeguard against Satan and for Allah's Protection, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) relaunched the following appeal.
All Ahmadi Muslims should recite these prayers often.

I will go above and beyond for others, but never applied the same effort for myself…
until I framed doing things to take care of “future-me”.

The way she touches her nose is exactly how my daughters play with each other…
May Allah send ease into their lives.

This nightlight is probably one of the best purchases of my bookworm life.
Right after my kindle.

Why is it important to actively listen to your child tell the same story over and over again?
If you’re not interested in your children, why should they ever feel good about themselves?
Why should they ever be interested in themselves or think they are interesting ?
