Mohamed Alaan Ahmed

A year ago I gave birth to the most beautiful and adorable baby boy! We named him Mohamed Alaan Ahmed and he has this cute little dimple on his right cheeks. My heart melted when i caught his first dimplish smile :) Little did I know then how amazing it would be to be a Mother but I soon found out. I simply love being Alaan's Mom so much. I thank Allah for bringing him into my life. He really is such an amazing little boy and here are a few pictures from his month. We just love this little guy to pieces and can't imagine life without him!

My Babyish Baby

If I was an organized mommy, I would have started this project from day one. Instead I am starting it on twelve months (my son just marked his one year– that’s not too late, right? I may not be organized but I most definitely want my son to read what his mommy wrote here when he grows up. And a blog is the perfect online keepsake to record the milestones of your little one. So babyish baby, here we go!


This is the first time Maamee saw tiny babyish baby in 4D scan, and you were the most beautiful baby ever and i could not wait to hold you in my arms :)

Friday morning, my DIY facial day

My son usually takes a nap around 10:30 in the morning; I end up doing this easy Do-It-Yourself facial which lasts for 45 minutes every Friday. Since I have dry skin I use ingredients that are suitable for dry skin.

Cleansing: To cleanse of excess dead cells and oil, I mix 1 teaspoon of dark honey with 1 teaspoon of milk and massage it into face and neck and wash off with water.

Exfoliate: To exfoliate I use a scrub made from some sugar, salt and half a lemon juice. Mix everything together and rub it on your face for 2-3 minutes and wash off with water.

Steam: Now dip a face towel in boiling water, let it cool for sometime and press the towel on your face. Do this for 10 minutes.

The Mask: I find that turmeric give my face a nice glow and I use turmeric and milk in my mask. I mix 1 teaspoon of milk and turmeric powder (add few drops of water to make a paste) and apply on face and neck and leave for 15 minutes to let it dry. Wash the mask off with cold and pat the skin dry.

Moisturize: Avocados and olive oil are good moisturizers and when I don’t have avocados at home I simply apply olive on to hand and rub it on face and neck. If I have avocados I remove the seed and scrape the flesh and apply it on the face and wash it off after 5 minutes. After this simple facial your face would be as soft as a baby’s skin.
