B-day Girl..

The 4th of this month was Nour’s birthday. She turned 13. She requested to invite 6 if her friends over for a small party and for me, Husam, Zayna, and Kareem to leave the house and leave her, her sister and both of their friends to party, and off we went. The menu that she wanted was: Pizza (I made margarita and chicken), hotdogs, chicken nuggets, chips, and cake.

Since we were kicked out of the house, we took the little ones to a park in Jounieh. I also asked Husam to drive me to a shopping area called Kaslik so I can look for a black long cardigan. I bought a very cute shirt with lots and lots sequins from Zara but I need to wear something over it to cover up the arms. I went to Bershka since I saw something similar to what I was looking for but the fabric was so thin that you can see through it. I have to go for another look-up trip to find my request. I am thinking H&M might have what I am looking for which means a trip to Beirut …YAY.
Again for the 576 time, I will try to upload pics from Nour’s b-day and I really really hope that it’ll work this time.
Later….

IT WORKED :)))

I'm Back

I came back from Amman on Thursday. It was a VERY nice trip full of fun and relaxtion. My family also arranged a surprise birthday party for Kareem, he was very happy. I will post the pictures when I have them downloaded from my iPhone :) I also got to meet my aunties; I always like to visit with them. My cousin who just recently moved from the US invited all the ladies in my family for a get-together on my honor, which was so sweet of her.
I resumed my responsibilities the next day. I almost forgot how to run my house after being spoiled for few days :D
Yesterday and today we went to Beirut. It was very nice and got to have some bonding time with the kids and some more SHOPPING :)


Glad to be back.

Why did I choose to blog !!

Hi
This is my first post to my first blog. I have been thinking to create this blog a year ago when my family and I moved to a new country. I was lonely and shocked and needed someone to talk to. I thought that blogging will be the best thing to do in order to let go of all the disappointment, frustration, and loneliness as well as happiness and advice seeking and the list goes on…..
I know that I am a year late but I just realize that today is the day to do it and here I go. I will try and do my best to post every day, in fact I want to use this blog as my diary :)
Stay tuned….
