Thank you to Najea of Hijabi Couture who is one of the hardest working mamis I know!!
Here are the rules of this tag:
1. Admit one thing you feel awful about (involving being a mom). Once you have written it down, you are no longer allowed to feel bad. Remember you are a good mom!
2. Remind yourself that you ARE a good mom, list 7 things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you.
3. Send this to 5 other moms of the year that deserve a reminder that they too are the best moms that they can be. Remember to send them a note letting them know you have selected them, and also add a link to your post that directs people back to the person who nominated you!
* One thing I feel awful about is not being more educated prior to having my Zach. Educated in all areas like academically I want to have an MPH by now, deen-wise I wanted to know more surah and stuff, language-wise I wanted to have a better grasp on his dad's languages.
Seven things I love about my kid(s) I'll talk about Zach and my Bonus-Kiddos.
* Zach is such a smart boy! He figures things out very quickly (in my eyes) for a 5 month old!
* Zach is loving and does not share mommy's social anxieties lol. He enjoys being held a fawned over by my friends.
* Zach makes me live on purpose. Having my little Hybrid makes me take life, time and everything else more seriously.
* My stepdaughter Marie is the biggest helper ever. She is always taking the initiative to help me in the kitchen :).
* Marie, Amie and Pa (all 3 of the step-kiddlings) ask about me when I'm not feeling well and say they hope I feel better.
* All 4 of the kiddos are forgiving. I was kind of grouchy and I apologized to the kids and they sweetly said that's okay mama-Hijabi. Zach has forgiven me for dropping my phone on his head :(.
*I love that the kids love just hanging out with me! They are so happy when I drop them off at school or simply watch a movie with them.
Overall I feel like my children's love makes me a better person.
I will tag UmmAmirah and UmmAminaHonest and UmmSalihah and UmmHMC and Queeny and iMuslimah!

I'm with you on that ML! Being called a good mom is the best compliment I can get! And I love talking about Zach!
Ooh I just saw this,
jazakh'Allah-khair, this is really one of the loveliest compliments especially with all the guilt-tripping and doubts being a mum in the modern world can bring.
ASA Sweet Mama,
You so deserve this award. I pray that Allah raise you and reward for being a mother to Zach and your bonus-babies too!
Ma'aSalaama,
Najea
