I recently read an article that really hit home, and I felt compelled to share this reflection. Years ago, I experienced this firsthand, and I am determined never to repeat that mistake. Most people think of marriage problems as simple issues: fighting over chores or money. But when you’re living with...
It’s exam season again. Adam and Iman, just started their UASA (that's the big end-of-year school exam). And even though Fateh and Yusuf don't have a final exam, their PBD still matter.

I’ve just signed up for the bread-making course next week. Just yesterday, I was talking about how I strictly reserve my weekends for my family, but I also really wanted to attend this course.

It's not too late to wish everyone a heartfelt Salam Maulidur Rasul, is it? Another long weekend just flew by, and for us, it was mostly a 🏡 stay-at-home kind of affair and I basically lived in the kitchen and laundry room all weekend.The Weekend in a Nutshell (or, a Laundry Basket)Friday was a cooking...
What a long weekend! It was one of those rare ones that felt like a proper reset button. My house is clean, the fridge is full, and I’m pretty sure I spent every waking moment either in the kitchen or just hanging out with my four boys. The best part?

Feels like just yesterday the kids had their exam sekolah agama, and then last week hari terbuka sekolah. The results weren't amazing (it's their first exam this year), but they were okay. And the teachers didn't have any complaints, which is a win in my book. Now, this week, 3 of my boys—Iman, Fateh, and...
Guess what landed in my inbox? An exciting press release that had me thinking about my four little Lego-obsessed boys (and a certain dad who might be even more obsessed!).

Can you believe it? We've officially been in our "new" home for two weeks now, and it truly feels like home.
