Minimalism Revisited

 

minimalism revisited

I’ve been de-cluttering different parts of our home as we get closer to the Fall. Fall equals so many fresh beginnings, new adventures and brand new chances to try out new ideas or revisit old ones.

One of my favorite articles reflecting on my own parenting techniques is Raising Minimalist Kids. Check it out here for a quick read on how to keep your home de-cluttered. This year marks 3 years since we moved to Houston and we’re still riding the minimalist wave!

Raising Minimalist Kids

 

The Up Parenting Creek team was my first foray back into blogging after a long hiatus. Megan and her beautiful team are full of knowledge, special reflections and great insight on different parenting tactics for anyone to benefit from.

Minimalist sleep is still an adjustment – even 5 kids later!

Getting Out There!

Wow! I had an incredible morning with the Daybreak Press Marketing Webinar. It felt so awesome to share my skill set with women of different writing backgrounds who wanted to further establish their ability to share their magic with the world. Check out my Twitter feed for some memorable quotes & help me give kudos to the special ladies I was honored to present with – Tayyaba Syed, Umm Juwayriyah, Jenny Triplett & emcee extraordinaire Najiyah Maxfield!

Literary Conference Time!

3 years ago, one conversation sparked a crazy idea.

A conference of Muslim women writers and authors. Academics, novelists and more. Pioneering into a gateway of literature, branding themselves as women of faith through their names, themes and literary identities.

The Daybreak Press Annual Muslim Women’s Literary Conference was born.

Our first year was held at the George Memorial Library in Houston, TX. Then, the University of Houston. Both times, women took the podium to talk about taking back our narrative. They spoke passionately, voices mixing into the pulsating vibes of academia, weaving through towering shelves of books and landing on eager minds.

70 days to go until our 3rd conference. We’ll be back again at the University of Houston. Ready to tackle conversations of culture, politics, race and gender. Ready to take back our narratives as women of faith. Ready to share the word and help raise women’s voices.
