Has it really been THREE months since I updated this blog? I have lots of links and ideas to add… BUT we are recovering from a long vacation (does that make sense?) and are inundated with luggage. :)

Salam, I’ve been wondering about you and this blog too, sister! xD Glad you’re back. I think I’ve e-mailed you before about hosting, but that’s taken care of already, so pretend the e-mail doesn’t exist. :)
Those links look wonderful, I still like children’s books myself. ;) Thank you!

Oh so sorry for not replying to your email… I was away for close to 3 months! Hehe I know what you mean… I like kids’ books too!
Assalaamu ‘alaikum.
Mashaa`Allaah – lovely links. While online books are cool, I still prefer them ‘in the flesh’. Thanks for sharing the links tho!
