Eid
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! Eid ul Fitr is the big celebration at the end of Ramadan for Muslims and being away from family makes it so bittersweet. This year, however, I think I had my best Eid in years. We started off with zero plans for the day but then a few of our friends showed up with their kids, and we had the loveliest time ❤️ I don’t host much but when I do it gives me so much joy – taking out special serveware from the glass cabinet, pulling out linens, setting the table. I think I get it from my mom.
You should have seen the boys’ faces when they opened their Eid presents. We only do one present each (my family), and especially with the suffering in Gaza, I encouraged Zaki to give some of his Eid money for charity. I got him this target nerf gun game which he loved and Eesa has been SUPER into school buses these days so I got him a little bus. Sweet baby was so obsessed with it he refused to sleep unless it was next to him.
Now that Ramadan is over, I’m getting back into a better work routine. Here’s what’s on my to do list for this month:
- Work on kitchen cabinets
- Film content for office, media room, spring dresses
- Put away all Ramadan decor (gahhh)
- Pack for weekend trip to Estes Park, Colorado
- Work on a secret project which I’m DYING to tell you all about
- Write 2 blog posts
