healing body and soul

i am currently reading this book, and finding it quite fascinating. as someone who is very conscious of what we as a family eat, the benefits of healthy eating and how it effects us, mind, body and soul, finding this book was a blessing.
 i would love to share every little bit of this book with you all, but as this isn't possible, i will share what i feel are the most relevant to us and what we can mostly benefit from insh'Allah.

last few days.....

:: wedding shopping (my brother's getting married)

:: making pressed flower pictures (we pressed flowers weeks ago, when we got them out they were paper thin)

:: reading poetry, from here



:: baking, from here

:: more wedding shopping

:: reading aloud, the classic Beatrix Potter Tales

:: having friends over

:: playing 'stop the bus', a game from my childhood, i don't know if this is an actual game or whether my siblings and i invented it (we invented a lot of games, you see)

:: weekending ::

:: martial arts :: sleepovers :: quiet reading :: playing on your own :: comfort food :: naps whenever you want :: lazing around :: staying in pyjamas :: watching favourite video :: snacks every five minutes :: playing on the computer :: watching tv ::

oh, and not to mention......crying, tantrums, moaning, whinging, strops, arguing over the computer......

It's all good mashallah
