Hello and Salam,
I’m Amnah. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m a pure Cali girl. Mother to three little girls. Wife to a hubby that came to this country over 10 years ago from Jenin, Palestine that has built himself up and makes me proud of him everyday. As a Muslim American Mom, I hope my blog will banish stereotypes and misconceptions.
I love to bake though not every batch of cookies or cake is a success. I’ll sew any pattern I find online that seems manageable for me - the more straight lines, the better! I enjoy crafting with my kids even though sometimes my girls don’t enjoy crafting with me. I’m embarrassed when someone refers to me as a “photographer” because I feel like I have sooooo much to learn, but I do get a good kick out a of a great pic I’ve taken. Living in a rental house, I do my best to make it feel more like a home with random home projects here and there. I love entertaining and will jump at any chance for a party.
Here on my blog, you’ll find all sorts of ramblings about this little life of mine.
Glad to have you here. Do sit and stay a while.

As Salaamu Alaikum,
I just want to send you greetings and say how glad I am to see an Islamic Blog.
I’ll be glad to follow you. I’m waiting for you to be up and running.
Thank you Romona! I’m glad to have you as a new reader.
Hi Amnah! I’m here from your sister’s blog, and I’m really excited to discover more muslim (and palestinian!!) blogs! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store
xoxo
Salams Nuha! Just checked out your blog and I absolutely love it! Yay for new blog friends. I’m so glad you’ve come over from Iman’s blog. That reminds me to thank her for the shout out. I hope you find something of benefit here. Do sit and stay awhile…
A wonderful blog. Masha Allah!!
Thank you Fati.
Salam Amnah…love to see all your pics. May I know what camera are you using? TQ
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. I own a Canon Rebel XSi. I shot all of the pictures with my kit lens (the lens that came with my camera). The Canon Rebel line is very user friendly.
Dear Amina, I love your Blog. Sincerely. All the very best.
Aww, thank you Pervisha.
great blog mashallah! can i follow u?
Thank you! By “follow”, do you mean through Google Friend Connect? I haven’t added that to my blog yet.
Your family is beautiful!
Thank you Kerry
Salam Amnah,
i absolutely love your blog. it gives great inspiration to take on tasks and projects that i would normally steer away from. Like crafty eid projects and simply baking with my 5 year old girl.
I love how you incorporate eid traiditions and create wonderful memories with your kids. Mashallah, what you are doing is amazing.
i love the idea of the gingerbread house in xmas but i wanted to adapt it to eid. I was wondering if you could do a post on your take of a Kaba gingerbread house – if you don’t think its too tacky????
Thank you for your kind words
I’m glad that you enjoy my blog so much. I think a gingerbread Kaa’ba or mosque would be a fun idea. I didn’t get a chance to try any new crafts or recipes for this Eid since I was out of town. InshaAllah I will attempt something in the future as it seems like something my kids would enjoy.
Amnah,
Good luck and blessings to you and your family. And much love to your new edition!
You’re “little life” is an amazing one! I stumbled on your blog while looking for ideas for my sons Monster party at the end of next month. You’re not only extremely charming but hilarious too. I was literally LOL-ing in my living room. I can tell how much you truly love what you do and for that I LOVE this blog. I’m in Berkeley, it’s so nice to have inspiration just over the bridge

As Salaamu Alaikum Amnah,
I’m SOOO excited to start reading your blog! I still can’t believe I didn’t know about it all this time!! Better late than never, I guess!! Expect a lot of comments from me – you know I like to talk! Lol!
I somehow stumbled onto your website while researching about Ramadan. I would like to ask for you assistance, I am a room mom to my daughters 3rd grade class. For the holiday celebrations we are doing them based on celebrations around the world, so we can learn and share with the children cerebration that are different from there own,
We need to do a brief overview and history, a craft, and have a snack so I am trying to find out what the best ones to do are, and learn as I go along. Any info or feedback would be great.
Thanks
Lisa
