Parenting

No one can deny that our children are growing up with far more access to technology than we ever did.

“What we are, teaches our children far more than what we say.” This statement stands out as an excellent reminder for all parents.

My family is quite big, my husband and I have four older children as well as three younger ones, everyone always has a full schedule and we rarely have time to sit as a family, so vacations have been an important part of our family bonding time.

When I think of summer, my mind immediately drifts back to a few beloved childhood memories: the smell of salty air and coconut lotion at the beach, jumping off the side of my father’s fishing boat for a quick swim in the ocean, eating LOTS of frozen popsicles, and riding around the neighborhood

After more than two years of pandemic life, Alhumdulillah, all praise be to Allah, we are now witnessing the easing of restrictions and resumption of activities toward normalcy. And, this includes travel. 

Summer is all about fun in the sun - traveling, water play, and getting some exercise outdoors. Some families are off to visit relatives, taking much-needed vacations, or even planning for umrah and Hajj.
