I’m a Muslimah living in Belgium (Dutch speaking part of Belgium, also known as Flanders). I’m a full time mother of three, a boy (6) and two girls (4 and 2), alhamdulillah.

I’m born in a mixed marriage. I have a Belgian mother and my father is from Mauritania. My husband is originally from Morocco. So we are truly a multicultural family, alhamdulillah !

I have a university degree in political and social sciences but when I got my first child I decided to put my professional career on hold for a while. Being a full time mother is probably one of the most under estimated jobs in the world! But alhamdulillah, it’s a great job with an even greater reward.

I have a passion for food! I love cooking and most of all baking! Two years ago I discovered cake decorating which is so much fun! I also love spending time with my family and making trips with the kids.

I got to know ‘Aaila’ through the wonderful blog of Umm Salihah. I immediately felt attracted to this mashallah great initiative. Insha Allah I can contribute to this initiative by posting some of my recipes and maybe even some articles.
