Cookies and more

Last week I made Brazek. It is an Arabic cookies covered with sesame. I got the recipe from my good friend Suzan. We all loved them and they didn’t last for more than few hours … lol

my homemade Brazek

On Monday, the girls were out of school for teacher’s day. Kareem’s day off was scheduled on Tuesday so we made a mother-daughters bonding day and took the bus to Beirut. The girls were so excited since this is their first time to ride the bus. We had breakfast out, did some shopping, ate lunch, more shopping, smoothies and ice-cream, and more shopping :D

It was great and we all needed that girls alone time without our two annoying boys ;)

We received the tickets to Dubai. We’ll be leaving on April 2nd and come back of the fifth, can’t wait.

The weather here is so hot and dusty, so bad. Makes me feel that my skin is clogged and I need to shower and wash my hands every minute, not nice!!
Hope you all are having a great week so far.
That’s it for me, off I go…

Yesterday, today and next week..

I went with hubby to work yesterday so I can go to the down town Beirut for some shopping and I found great deals …YAY. Next week, I am going to visit my parents in Amman and I have so much stuff to do before leaving. I’m going with my little one, Kareem and leaving the girls with dad for 4-5 days.
I need to make sure that the house is clean, there is food in the fridge, school uniforms are clean and the laundry basket is almost empty!!
All this means that I will need to spend Friday and Saturday cleaning, cooking, laundry and grocery shopping…FUN. I am excited though that I’ll be seeing my family and get to spend a lot of time with them. When I visit Amman with hubby and the kids I stay at my mother-in-law house and get busy with my kids, visitors and lots of arguments, so there is so little time I can devote for mom and dad that’s why I want to go by myself this time. Insha’Allah I will have some relaxing, bonding and fun :)
I, most likely, will not be able to post until I’m back so until then take care.
