I am one week late, but as the cliche goes... Better Late than Never! :-)
So alhamdulillah our Ramadhan started well. Actually I didn't go to work because Asmara's fever got worse. Well, to be honest I would rather stay home with kids especially when they are sick. I also would rather not work during Ramadhan, finance's permitting.
I also delayed printing and laminating the kids' Ramadhan calendars. And we still don't have the stickers yet as of today. I did look at the stores and so far none is suitable. Maybe I'll use markers only this time?
Alhamdulillah Amira has been steadfast in getting up for sahur and completing her fasting. Even when she complained about how hot and tiring being in the school bus yesterday, she still persevered.
Umar... He fasted most of the day every day so far. His sahur is breakfast in the morning, and he breaks his fast at around 5pm. I hope he will eventually get to practice more inshaAllah.
Reminder to myself: Emphasize solat as well.
The first weekend was great too. I got to attend two events, one a whole day course, the other a two-hour lecture. Both by my favorite teachers from single years. Alhamdulillah.
So this year I got this idea of trying to make my Ramadhan greener, inshaAllah. My trips to the Ramadhan bazaar filled with mouth watering food so far ended up with many pieces of plastic bags in the garbage. That's not good. I would have to bring my own container, I suppose.

May Allah grant us His Blessings.
May we emerge better people at the end of this Ramadhan.
All the best for the rest of Ramadhan and beyond, inshaAllah!
