Bismillah...

It's almost that time again. In fact, I think some of you parents are already seeing your kids off to school. I can't believe how fast the Summer holidays went. This summer, Rainbow is not in daycare- he is staying home with the girls. There were small and great adventures- and it's not over yet. Trying to keep the kids busy, with all their likes and dislikes (more dislikes than likes), I had to adjust schedules, routines, and of course, unschooling. Honestly, unschooling suffered a great deal since March, and I didn't expect it to get better over the holidays.

One thing that has been great is language learning with Petralingua®. Many of you know that no matter what I do, or how busy I am, I alway try to learn with Rainbow (and) the girls). Learning with Petralingua® has been a fun activity for the whole family. The funny thing about teaching is the process of learning as well, so we have all been able to learn a few new words in different languages. While the online multimedia language courses are designed for children between the ages of 3 and 10 years, age really doesn't matter- only learning matters.

The girls are interested in Spanish, and mandarin, and I have been promised that there will be new additions, like Arabic added soon, inshaAllah. The games are interactive and simple enough that they are engaging to a child even as young as Rainbow's age (21 months).

The contents of the language courses that Petralingua® offers include:
• 500 basic words
•  20 everyday topics
•  11 songs
•  80 animated videos
•  140 interactive exercises
•  talking picture dictionary for kids
•  Activity Books to download
There are also some new downloads, so check them out.

Hello lovely ladies and readers. I am writing at World Moms Blog today. If you want to know what I really think about moving across the country with hubs, read about it here. Okay, if you don't want to know, still read my article, lol.

 Bismillah...

Salam ladies, as you all know from here,  Rainbow is 21 months and I am still nursing.


I have a quick question...

Fasting the month of Ramadan has been great so far, except that I literally feel nauseous from  excess thirst. I feel parched from morning til I break the fast- has anyone else ever felt like this with fasting & nursing?

Some background:
The weather where I live is decent for this time of year- quite cool actually. I don't do manual labour, so lose very little energy during the day. I'm away from home 6AM to 5:30 PM. I nurse Rainbow before I leave, and then when I return it seems I nurse every hour after that, even into the night when he wakes up for feedings.

We break fast close to 9:30 PM. Suhoor is at /around 4 am (when I get up). I don't eat a lot of salty foods, or sodas, and drink one glass of juice in the evenings and then water (as much as possible). I do like jalapeno peppers though :) I never drink coffee, and never take sugar in my tea- NEVER. I do however, like a sweet treat sometimes, like a cupcake. I cut out rice and most carbs out of my diet for Ramadan...I do eat carbs, but very little, so mostly MY iftar meal is loaded with veggies and chicken, fish or meat (beef).

I don't always wake up for suhoor, and I thought this made a difference, but the days are all pretty much the same whether I eat in the morning or not (eating in the morning has been light cherries, grapes, or a granola bar, and a glass of water- nothing fancy).
Has anyone else who nurses noticed an extreme level of thirst as early as just after sunrise? I know it is connected to nursing, because I feel extremely drained after I breastfeed. But then I have changed my diet a bit, and I'm not sure if it's just a transition...


Any thoughts or experiences? I would like to hear.

Salam all,

Lately, I truly enjoy just giving updates and ranting about nothing in particular. There's lots going on, but as always, I am guarded about writing every little thing on Rainbow's blog (not that it's bad or anything).
Do visit my personal blog for more Ramadan stories and other "stuff".
I don't have a "followers" button there, nor do I accept comments- I love your comments but just wanted a simple page to spit out my thoughts.

If you don't have the link, just let me know.

Happy Wednesday?

xxo
