What are your thoughts? Do we need to have scientific evidence and studies? Or is anecdotal evidence enough? Mothers are saying this works for them- would you consider it?

Your time to shine!
As part of the Madinah, under the Women's Resource Centre, we are launching a Mother & Tot drop in program as well as a regular kids' corner, inshaAllah. We are just starting up and there are a lot of supplies and resources we need.
We're looking for donations for some items that are either new or in mint condition. If you have any childrens' [Islamic or non] books, puzzles, games, toys, small furniture, supplies: markers, crayons, paper, construction paper, pencils, scissors, playdough, colouring books, activities, educational resources etc. or anything else you can think of (or if you know anyone who does) please let me know asap. Or if you're willing to sponsor the purchase of some of these items also do let me know.
Jazakumullahu khairun

Ramadan Party Decor
We threw a little get together for Zakariya's closest family and friends. Here is what the simple and on a budget decor looked like!
The purpose of sharing these photos with you is to encourage all of you to make Ramadan and Eid an especially exciting and FUN time for your kids! Zakariya was anticipating his "partee" for days and was Mashallah so excited to help me put the whole thing together. Parents take the time to make Ramadan/Eid a time that your children will always appreciate.
We moved our dining table to dedicate the space completely to the kiddos and served from the kitchen instead
Staying within the budget and time restraints, I used Zaki's wooden toy as a last minute center piece
I picked up these stand able napkins at winners on clearance at Winners for $2.50. The rest of the color theme came after I purchased the napkins
These were our DIY gift bags. We stamped plain paper bags. Zaki helped me stamp a few of these
Do you have any Ramadan/Eid pictures or party tips to share with all of us?
Happy Friday! Please remember us in your prayers.

Homebirths on Increase
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/09/health/09birth.html?_r=3&adxnnl=1&src=recg&adxnnlx=1312894875-4/HntUDQ7GT9ZTTyXeZRGw
Great article on home births! Interesting how the study talking about the associated risks was not very accurate in terms of the actual stats. Shame on the researches for giving home birth a bad rep!
