… redesigning the site.

I do this every time I get anxious.

I shouldn’t… I have enough on my plate as it is.

OK someone just give me a SLAP upside the head!

Farzana, this is for you!

I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve updated my stash of links. If you look at my sidebar, homeschooling links have been reorganised.

Must run… my first-born is enamoured with pirates now…

I’m trying to reorganise things a bit on this blog so things might look a bit wonky. But I felt a revamp was in order… In shaa Allah I hope to add a few more categories and more about our home education journey. There are tonnes of blogs out there - so many banal and worthless. I think mine is falling into that, so it is time for a little more direction and purpose.

I had a few posts in mind but put them on the backburner - they were no more than hostile and bitter rants. Like I told a sister yesterday, I have no qualms about sharing my difficulties and trials. I can’t in good conscience give the impression that I am a wonder lady who has perfectly organised days - those who know me and live with me know I am anything but!

I do struggle… I make serious mistakes… I have demons I am always battling. So, I will share my days and difficulties to the extent that it is beneficial and constructive, but I am resolving to make this blog more than just about me. I hope that in shaa Allah it will be a good resource for home education, Islam and living creatively.

I do plan on concentrating on making a log of lessons and adding more - *gasp* dare I say it? - photographs, in shaa Allah. I am not sure how long I plan to homeschool and where we will live in the next few years but documenting the kids’ home education journey may prove necessary.

So with that, I am off to tackle these wonky (this is a big word in the house these days, LOL) codes in my blog.

We are going through some changes and I ask that you keep us in your du`aa…

Just a short note - I’ve updated my page of Homeschooling Links and Blog Hops just in case anyone’s interested!

Tried upgrading my Movable Type but made a mess. I am about ready to throw in the towel.

If anyone can help out, please email me at razzberry AT imaan DOT net.

Update: Got a paid installation. I am SO inept. *S*

I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to the latest version of MT… and now that my present version is running amok on me, I know that I should take the plunge.

But…

I am scared! LOL.

For those of you who are still visiting and reading, I am sorry for my lack of updates. Pakistan went through severe internet troubles for a couple of weeks. My email has gone kaput on me for some odd reason so if you have emailed me and not received a response, please forgive me. I am NOT ignoring you - I am not even getting spam so you know how serious I am!

My faithful (and I know you are few *S*) visitors will notice that this site is sporting a new layout and design. Like I told Umm Junayd, I’ve always been a work in progress! I have installed and played with WP before but resisted using it for my site even though I do love it as much as I love MT. I think I was getting a tad too comfy with MT though so here I am. I am looking through my old entries presently and will repost them soon in shaa Allah.

Things have been a little challenging and I am trying hard to make things work… More on this later in shaa Allah. Please make du`aa for me and the kids.
