Inspiring me lately

20130617-21

Sorry for the long delay with this series, I really need to do these more often as its hard to filter through my pins, specially when I pin almost every day (Yes its an addiction:p). Anyways, sharing things I have been inspired by lately. Happy Friday and Enjoy.

Raising Kids.

live in the moment quote

Source

- This quote above.This is one of my biggest challenges as a mom right now, to live in the moment and this is a good reminder.

- Love this post on natural discipline for the early years.

- Following this series on MPMK on Habits of Happy Families.

- Some Beautiful tips on raising kids that celebrate diversity.

- Tips for stylish kids on a budget.

Marriage

- Will Smith talks about marriage in this beautiful interview.

I love where he says ‘The central idea of love is not even a relationship commitment, the first thing is a personal commitment to be the best version of yourself with or without that person that you’re with. You have to every single day, mind, body, and spirit, wake up with a commitment to be better. Don’t make that same mistake tomorrow that you made today.’

Home and Décor

- This beautiful studio house tour Love the family pictures over the stairway.

- This bright home. In love with the little displays everywhere.

Fashion

- Pleated skirts, Peplum tops, Layering lace tops and White nails

- Hot weather hairstyles for long-ish hair.

Photography

- Tips on taking pictures of your home.

- Great tips for food photography.

Feminism

- Love how these women took to wearing headscarves for a day and posting their pictures in Sweden in support for the Muslim girl that was assaulted. 

- Love this piece on Kate Middleton’s choice of dress when they showed the world their little man.

Pakistani

- So happy to know that a documentary is being made on this legend of a man, Abdus Sattar Edhi.

- This beautiful project that just launched. It is amazing, the amount of women, specially from countries like Pakistan face emotional/verbal/physical abuse from their spouse and never talk about it. I hope this will change that.

- Love this piece by Ethan Casey on why Americans should visit Pakistan.

Faith and Religion

- Dean Obeidullah’s beautiful thoughts on being Muslim  and how he hopes in time, instead of these terrorists, everyday Muslims like us define Islam and what being Muslim is about instead of them. 

- This church that opened it doors to Muslims for Friday prayer.

- With addition of more and more Muslim football players, how the English football culture is changing.
