truthful;

I've been itching to blog these days, but really, oh how it gets so hard to ! how are you guys doing? my little sheikh is turning 2 in about a month time, and it has been so exciting seeing him grow to the little boy that he is.

mothering has been so in me that without him, I find myself quite lost. I got used to the hectic-ness and being on my toes 24/7 that when I'm finally granted  mommy time to myself, 5 minutes into it, I miss him all again :( how does this work ??

hamza's spitting out random words now. his favourite besides Abah is Allah ( alhamdulillah ) calls me Mommy when he feels like it, most times I'm Abah too to him. He speaks more Malay than English, I think it had to do with the fact that we were in Malaysia for almost a good 2 months while Azhar flew around for work.

Currently - we're working on his English, but no pressure really. He understands what we say, just doesn't speak it. So hmm. I used to worry about him not speaking Malay, funny how its the other way round now.

We're currently all over Australia, most times in Brisbane, sometimes Adelaide, went for a quick hiking trip to Tassie last Easter and it was amazing! My internet connection is really testing my patience at the moment, so I won't be posting any photos of that trip on this post. 

At this point, I'm just glad that I was truthful to my heart, and to myself that I wanted to be a mother more than anything else. A present mother. Others would term me stay at home mom, I like to be called a homemaker. I devote my time and energy to my little Sheikh and my husband, which has been amazing, of course at times I wonder if this was all im set to be. 

Haha, I lied. I don't wonder about that at all - I have no time to think of anything else! Caring for a child is a LOT of work, and though its always looked down upon, I often remind myself its the best job in the world. I'm raising a child who will be part of a future generation, who will change the world and in shaa Allah make it a better place. I don't believe anyone else could be a better teacher than a child's own parents. It always starts from home.

Despite that, I really look up to working moms who have to juggle their responsibilities. Imagine caring for a child,  a house, a husband, AND working. Hello superwoman! I don't know how they do it, but its inspiring to see them day in day out. With that I am always reminded to be thankful for the opportunity to be who I am today.
