Walgreens deal on Epsom salts

I was at Walgreens stocking up on some of their Back to School great deals when I grabbed some Epsome salts that they have for $5.99 B1G1.

They carry two types regular and Lavender . You pay $ 5.99 and get 2 of the same kind.

I'm planning on using this for Bath salts and maybe give some of it as gifts for friends.

It can also be used as a bath soak for kids to calm them . How I dream of calm nights after using this for my kids night bath.

Another use is for those tired feet after a long day running after the kids.

A great idea : Positive behavior jars

While in the process of getting our lives in order I'm on the lookout for new ways to simplify our lives and help the kids perform at their best.

So when I saw this idea on teach mama blog for gem jars I fell inlove with it and wil be doing 3 jars for me and my girls.

I plan on purchasing the materials for this from my local Goodwell and Dollar store and I'll be posting some pictures soon in sha Allah.

Thanks teach mama for the wonderful ideas.

New Life

Holding a positive attitude to my New life

To my dear blog and my dear dear followers

Asalam alikom my dear friends

It's been so so long since my last post... 10 months to be exact.
I hardly visited my blog during this time..and I can really sat that during this period my life has turned upside down...but hopefully in a positive way.

I moved AGAIN but this time to the US. A big move that was long over-due alhamdu Lelah.
It took me a very long time to adjust to this new life and my life is almost resembling a normal??? life now.

Well I'm trying my best to give my family the best I could and Allah is Great and has pulled me through one of the hardest times in my entire life.

I'm going through the process of getting and furnishing a new apartment. This has given me a chance to really exercise my thrift muscles :)

I have really gotten some really great deals on some awsome stuff and in sha Allah I'll be blogging on this and sharing experiences.

Thanks for bearing with me and now it's time to be blogging again.

My daughter's BD cake....

It was my DD1 8th BD.

She loves fruits on her gatou' so she took her dad all around the city searching for the perfect cake...& here's what she bought.

It was a very tasty cake...

happy Birthday my dear Fofo!!

Eid Fitr Saeed Everyone...

Eid Saee'd to all of you ...& in sha Allah the fast went easy..but now it's time to break our fast & eat some of the lovely Eid Kahk "cookies" & biscuits...

My lovely neighbour umm Abd Arahman made me these nice platters of cookies filled with nuts & malban (I have no idea what to call it in English so i'm adding this pic to show you all what it looks like,its also called Rahet elhalkoom in some places wich means soother to the throat)

Umm Abd Arahman is officially my life-saver all Ramadan ..she has a home bussiness where she cooks & sells food from her house ..mainly traditional Egyptian food like stuffed vine leaves & cabbage,feteer meshaltet & eid cookies & biscuits.I have used her services in my Iftars & her food is very tasty masha Allah.

Although the cookies taasted great ,I have to say that they do not compare to my mom's cookies.

They are the melt-in-your-mouth type but I guess they definitly needed more filling.

The biscuits are crunshy...just as I like them.

On another note, in our Home in Egypt they are not making cookies because this last year we lost our grandmother & my uncle...May Allah forgive them & grant them Janna...Ameen.

If my mom was making kahk this year I would've made her send me some...insha Allah next year...

Tell me your favourite kahk or biscuits?
