The daily chronicle of my family as we embark on our quest to relocate from New York to Cairo... the impending journey to get there and the daily lives of myself, my husband and our four children... and other random thoughts while living in Cairo!

Looking to make contact with other Muslimahs who are like myself with small children living or will be living in a foreign country.

I invite you to share the experience with us as we try to make this happen!

Strange creatures, aren't we?

Cleaning up and looking around, I came across this sad but true statement:


Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to masjid and so small when we take it to the store...

Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent playing golf, fishing or playing soccer...

Funny how laborious it is to read a juzz in the Quran and how easy it is to read 2-300 pages of a best selling novel...

Funny how we believe what newspapers say but question what the Quran says...

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend...

Funny how we need 2-3 weeks to fit an Islamic event into our schedule, but can adjust it for a social event at the last moment...

Funny isn't it? Nope, not in the least but... is this you?
