Intro

Salaams and howdy! 👋🏽

Welcome to the blog. My name is Ameenah  and I’m a wife, mama, homeschooling parent and children’s book illustrator and art educator. I’ve been wondering for some time, what is the best place for me to write about my family, art and all the things. 

So with so much going on, I’ve decided to start up here on the website. Before I start writing anything I want you to know some things.

1. I’m not having Ai write our blog. I know we live in a time where writing can appear to be flawless and coherent lol. But that’s not true to who we are. Sometimes my writing will have missing words, grammatical errors and it may not make sense. 
I don’t intend it but sometimes that happens to me. And I honestly am ok with that. I don’t want this space to not feel authentic. 

2. Ai will not be doing our illustrations. Not even the blog photos. I’m striving to my own photos. I love taking pictures of things in life. Before Ai was a thing, my husband always encouraged us to do our own photography, make our mockups and make everything. It was one of the ways where we actually owned our photography, and not have to be scared about licensing. As for the art…..you already know!!!!!! I do it allllllllllllll my friend. 

3. While we respect differences in opinions and beliefs. We don’t allow disrespect, bullying or other acts of unkindness. So we will delete comments that are offensive to the community.

4. I’m not going to overthink this. I didn’t the first time I started blogging and it was such a fun experience! I’m ready to do this again. The kids are older and I would like to document our life. 

Meet the team. 
Abdullaah. We’ve been married for almost 20 years. He has a joy for helping others, pottery, homesteading and being in nature. He’s a very hands on kind of guy and would like to be on the move….you won’t find him sitting still for long. 

Ameenah. I’m a mom to eight wonderful kiddos and I homeschool. You can find me chasing the baby or getting the teenagers to do it. I love good food, snacks, photography and art. When I can and it’s safe outside you will find me on my e-bike with Abdullaah riding around.

The humans. There are 8 of them and they are fun. They usually will pop up when they wanna. Like my son does our reels at times lol. 

Family is important to me. And what we do here is also important. It’s a part of our legacy. So we welcome you here to enjoy the ride with us as to grow this business and share the journey along the way. 

Please feel free to introduce yourself and what would you like to see from us.
