DIY pasta sauce

It's true it's all from scratch. So much so that my husband was reminded of his childhood Italian babysitter, Nona! He describes her cooking as authentic homemade goodness, Can you say yummy? I will upload the steps of the canning method I used to keep this made from scratch, preservative free, organic and local pasta sauce fresh and ready to serve in my pantry.

Anyone else attempted this before? How did the sauce turn out?

P.s I'm using the blogger app, convenient!

The Year of the Preggos

So Its been awhile since I have last visited. Things around here have been really hectic. It is the year of the babies. Mashallah, a lot of sisters are expecting this year. For me this means a lot of births to look forward to.


I always joke that every couple of years, we go thru a baby boom. We actually went thru this a few years ago when I was expecting. It was the year of the boys- Subhanallah I know 14 boys that were born that year! I wonder what it will be like this year? Anyway,  boy or girl- its definitely the year of the preggos. Do you know anyone who is expecting? Any chance you might have caught the baby bug ;)

Jummah Mubarak and happy Friday to you all!

My sweet sweet grandmother introduced me to knitting. I even have the pink sweater she made me... Yes, Zakariya has to wear it too!

Being outside, rain, snow or shine

Because no trip is complete without taste testing the snow

DIY: Felted Flower Wreath

In our home we have been paying close attention to the changing seasons. We decided to come up with a fun project to celebrate the winter.  The colors we picked represent the winter but also happen to match our living room!

I used straight pins to secure my flowers on, this is so we can change the flowers with each season of the year. Alternatively for permanent flowers you could use a glue gun to secure the flowers on the wreath

It is something that will affect all women at some point in their lives, whether they will go thru it for themselves or if they have sisters, cousins, friends who are expecting as well.

Regardless if you were recently married or if you are planning and thinking about having a baby, if you are expecting for the first time, or expecting their 2nd/3rd/4th (and so on) child. This workshop is for all women.

This is the first workshop of this type in our community, not to be missed!
