Salam all,
It's been very quiet in here lately but I'll keep up my little paragraph for entertainment :-) Recently, I've been trying to eat a little healthier in an attempt to shed off the many extra kilos I've put on since my last pregnancy. One of the things that I read about a long time ago is yogurt and how amazingly beneficial it it. Not only does it give us a great dose of protein and calcium, but the healthy bacteria in yogurt has been implicated in giving obese people better waistlines. How neat is that! Although I've known that for quite a while, I never really incorporated yogurt into my diet on a regular basis. So here is to a new resolution to adding yogurt to my everyday lunch.
What superfoods do you like? PS: I always like to reference any scientific information I mention so here is the link to the yogurt study. Published in "British Journal of Nutritionhttps://www.cambridge.org/core...

Salam all,
I hate laminating books. I feel like it teaches kids to become careless with their books rather than more careful. Anyway, through much pressure from the schools, I finally got around to laminating my kids' school books this morning. However, the laminate I'm using is horrible. It barely sticks and if a bubble forms it just creates a bigger area of non-stickiness wherever it gets pushed. This is the second roll I try and both the first and the second were just as bad. I don't know the brand of the first roll but the second roll is called "Tooly Self Adhesive Foil".
Does anybody know good quality laminate I can buy?
Thanks,

Salam all,

I finally got done laminating all 38 school books. Oh gosh it took forever, and the ones I had to repeat were endless. By the end I did not care if there was a bubble the size of my head stuck in there! Maybe it's just me, but school books should not be laminated. On the other hand, certain things like flashcards I would definitely laminate, especially if used with toddlers. Recently, I've been making quite a few flashcards for my younger kids to help them with math and reading. They really like them and even my youngest two-year-old likes to look at the images and shout out names. Inshalla I'll get around to sharing some educational material that I've found very useful with my kids.

Good night!

Salam all,
Today was a long day. It's the beginning of November and I like to get the kids' language and math drills ready for the entire month. I should have done this three or four days ago but time passes so quickly and I got caught up in other things. I managed to finish everything for the five and six-year-old but I still have some more math to print out for my twelve-year-old. I feel like schools nowadays don't give enough practice on essential aspects of math and language and hence, I like to supplement with more practice. Of course my children keep complaining every time they see me printing more and more, but they'll have to do what i say eventually :-))
Everybody is fast asleep in my home and I'm calling it a night soon. Good night.
