Assalamu-alaykum all! 🤍
It’s been a while (grinning sheepishly).

Life got extremely busy. Honestly, it felt like I was walking up a mountain with snowballs (events and happenings) the size of the sun rolling down at me. Each time I jumped or dodged one, another came rolling down with equal force. 😂

So yeah… I took a step back and embraced the season where I needed to slow down, be more present at home with my growing family and just be.

But while I was away, I wasn’t really quiet. I've been working on creating new resources and spending a lot of time reflecting on why I even created this space in the first place. And I realised this space is my ikigai.

(Yes. A new word I’ve just learnt and keep using in or out of context, correctly and incorrectly. I’m that obsessed with it. 😂)

I've always since the first lesson i taught have had a (ridiculosly time consuming) need and desire to make learning beautiful, fun and really resonate with the child. To take something that might feel complicated, dry or overwhelming and turn it into something that makes a child want to learn and want to have a go.

One of the things that matters most to me in raising my own children is that they really know ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). That they know HIM, love HIM, and grow up loving HIS Messenger (saw). That they feel rooted in their Islamic identity and carry a strong sense of who they are and where they belong.

When I combined these two 'passions, desires, values' together, I found myself creating this space - Muslimahomescool.

Theres still plenty more for me to reflect on. But for now i finally understand why i keep coming back. Because this is what i love to do, it fills me with purpose. It quite literally is my ikigai.

Whats your Ikigai guys?

Having these play sessions with D, like I did with my eldest, brings back so many memories. Feels like it was a lifetime ago!!!

The mother I was then is completely different to the mother I am now.

That mother wanted to do everything and get involved with everything..I remember often thinking...'he's not doing it like they did it on pinterest'.. and then getting involved and saying do it like this and like this.

This mother, is appreciating just letting the moment be. Letting D explore in his own way, and do whatever he wants, learning as he goes along.

How have you changed as a mother from your eldest to your youngest?

When all your furniture hasn't come, but the show must go on... ✍️ 📘

So we've spent a week in the new house so far. Scrubbed and cleaned and ready to live in it before we jet of to England for a holiday next week 🤣

The constant globe trotting, house moving, and resettling has been the biggest thorn in our homeschooling journey. But because homeschooling is so flexibile and adaptable, we will carry on in our ever changing clasroom and routine. We will progress...sometimes fast, sometimes at 🐌 pace and sometimes taking a breather at a pit stop. But it's our own race, with our own rules, and our own finish line... so we're doing just fine 👍

What's been the biggest thorn in your homeschooling journey?
