With Dhul-Hijjah around the corner (already!), I've put this post together for some child-friendly and meaningful activities. Friends of mine have expressed that they're not sure how to navigate the story of Ibrahim's (as) sacrifice and what to focus on for Eid al-Adha. There is so much to potentially look at with this month that…

Hi everyone! So this is my first unit studies that I'm sharing here on the blog. It feels momentous 😀 And it's not a whole unit because we technically haven't completed it yet. It's been a big year (I can't believe we're already at halfway) what with baby and renovating the house and living at…
Back when we were staying at my mum's house whilst renovating our house a few months ago, I did my best to keep up with the homeschooling. We stuck to our Little Oak Learning seasonal units, and we were up to the Butterfly unit. I didn't get any photos of the activities we did throughout…

Off the back of Black Friday, which was incredibly stressful (anyone else feel that it stressed them out?), with every single business handing out discounts like drugs at a concert, even the ethical ones, I've come to a realisation about purchasing ethical, organic and sustainable. If an alternative that ticks all the above boxes exists, I…
What makes a great children's book? To me, it needs beautiful illustrations, an engaging story, fantastical facts and interactive activities. I picked up the following four books recently which have all of the above and they have been on high rotation with the girls lately... "Women who Dared: 52 Stories of Fearless Daredevils, adventurers &…
As I scroll through my Instagram feed lately I feel like I am literally seeing the same picture over and over again. Everybody obviously follows accounts that interest them, so as a mother I follow a lot of parenting/home decor/mummy bloggers/lifestyle accounts. People. I literally see the same photo OVER AND OVER again. The same…
Even if one is not homeschooling their children, having a "learning nook" can be useful. And I say "nook" because let's face it; not everyone has the luxury of having a separate room just for the kids. Even a spare wall in the house can suffice, with various shelving systems like the first one below…
