Summer
05 Jul 2011 Leave a Comment
Of waterfalls and streams, river beds and rocks. Of sand between your toes and lemonade sipped through straws. Of sunshine and laughter. Of walks through tree canopied trails and giggles through shared jokes. Of picnic blankets and fingers licked. Of charcoal and lime. Summer is all things God meant love to be.
Confessions of a loving mother- 2

Sometimes I take out all those mails and FB messages from the post Z time and read them just to remember how those days felt. I even had all the messages from the time I was admitted to the Janaza saved and would scroll through them until my phone crashed. Sign from Above to move on? I wonder if I will ever lose that sense of reality and immediacy and part of me doesn’t want to, even though I know that it’s the process of healing that I should.

Once a day I just really really want them both to be asleep or away (at the same time) so I can watch a movie, go the bathroom, finish my post and not have to share my ice lolly.
because you two make everyday so special..

My darlings M&M,
So I didn’t post this on mother’s day itself because heck it didnt seem much like a special day yesterday. Your baba refuses to wish me a happy mother’s day saying I’m not HIS mom and you two are still too tiny to figure its meant to be special! (yup! PMSing is right)
A part of me is secretly waiting for you two to grow up into the gentle, charming, sensitive women that I know you’re going to be one day so I can prop my feet up and be indulged for the day; But I have to admit, you two have your cute little ways of making everyday of being your mama so special I am not missing much if there’s no massive fuss for this one day of the year!
Raising you two is greatest joy I’d ever know in this life, I can never be thankful enough 
<3 mama
mother’s day 2011 on our end.

For me Mother’s Day is so directly connected to my mom that when I think of the word mother, I think of her. I know I am a mom now and I do all the stuff required with that title but somehow, in light of where we are and what my mom has done, I don’t yet feel deserving of this holiday. Maybe in a few years time.
But since all of us work bloody hard to make sure we manage to retain some essence of our old selves in the midst of this child raising chaos, I am so proud and glad (and relieved!) to be part of a time when motherhood is something that extends us, not limits us. Happy Mother’s Day to us all.
Four Mother’s Days and Counting

Babies and I
You two, my own little monkeys, have taught me so many things – how little sleep I can manage on for a year or two at a time, how many of my own words I can actually eat and stomach, how terrible twos aren’t limited only to the twos, and the very pinnacles or embarrassment and patience, amongst so many other in the same vein.
On the flip side, I’ve also learned how wonderful it is doing ‘nothing’ all day long with you, how precious gummy smiles are, how intoxicating the smell of your heads and necks and other crevices is, how deliciously soft and strokeable your skin is and of course, the inimitable joy of watching you two sleep deeply among a million other such wonderful lessons.
These are only a few of the things I’ve learned in four years of mothering. Four short years, because you know what they say, the days may be long but the years are so short.
Happy Mother’s Day, to me and my fellow mommas!

MashAllah, my awesome trio! You might drive me slightly crazy by the time afternoon rolls around, BUT… you make every morning worth waking up for. Individually each of you is amazing, and collectively… your presence in my life is unmatched by anything else thanks to you guys… Happy Mother’s Day to ME
Free Love (for cake)

Hina: I used to have perfect skin, it’s not the same anymore. It’s probably all the cake I’m eating in Pakistan.
Omair: There were cakes in Dubai.
Hina: Yeah but I think I eat more here.
Omair: Why?
Hina: It’s the conversion dude. Do you NOT know that a Dhs. 25 slice cost Dhs 5 here! I’m compelled to eat 5 times as much cake, just to balance out finances in the universe!
Haircuts and Attitudes
19 Feb 2011 1 Comment
As I strive each year to look hotter and younger (heaven forbid a mom-type!!) hair plays SUCH a crucial role. Whether it was last year’s long Katrina Kaif locks with curls, or this year’s Cameron Diaz’s super sexy sleek do – the ‘look’ is all about the hair.
In recent conversation with Mona, we were discussing how much a hair style can effect our attitudes. Her husband claims that with Mona’s short crop, she’s got some extra oomph. Last year when Sara traded in her old style for a sexier shorter look I was totally floored! With a short visit to the salon, we can give up our old hassled look for something nicer and much more stylish. Hair makes SUCH a difference. Gives us that little extra bounce in our step and doesn’t just make us a little more hotter, but also, a little more haughter.
