GO COLTS!

last week, early in the morning, on my way to school, everyone was wearing white and blue jerseys. I didn’t know what was it all about. Until, thanks to my two football fanatic friends at Herron Susana and Brandon S. I learned it was monday night special game and Indianapolis Colts where playing against Miami Dolphins. Of course, i didn’t know what they were talking about at first, for i know nothing about American football. So Susana, Brandon, Terri and I went out to watch the game, before the game started and during the TV commercials they taught the rules of football, scoring and the names of the Colts players.
it was fun!
The Colts defeated the dolphins 27-23 in the last minutes thanks to Garcon (number 85).

in the spirit of Eid

I got many questions from my friends at school on why i fast, how we do it, what’s the purpose behind it… etc.
and because Eid is no Eid without candy, i thought it would be nice to share with them the festive atmosphere and the happiness of Eid with some little treats since they are interested and curious to know more :)
we’ll be talking more about it next Friday in the TGIF at school.
i’m so excited about it!

the first Eid away from home…

Thanks to my friend Terri, it was such a great day!
We went out for brunch at a cute cafe called Patachou downtown Indianapolis. along with their perfect sweet ginger & peach tea, we had a huge yummy piece of chocolate cake for dessert that lasted for 2 more days in my refrigerator. It was even more delicious when i added a little bit of their orange marmalade jam.
A super delicious breakfast, a super cute place with super nice company and lots of sweets! Eid wouldn’t be any more perfect. Hope you enjoyed your Eid as much as i did or more and may ALLAH bestow blessings in all you do and fill your life with peace, joy and prosperity in every day of your life.

“There are thousands and thousands of stars in the sky, but we don’t have enough fingers to count them”- Capucine

Yes! My most inspirational person is a cute little girl! and her name is Capucine. she belives that the hippo is allergic to magic, crows should take singing classes and she wants to be the queen of princesses!

Capucine, with the help of her great mom, makes really really cute videos and t-shirts to raise charity and buy books to build a library for kids in Mongolia, and help them learn to read and write. Who wouldn’t love this girl?

Capucine is mostly famous for her “once upon a time…” story. it’s such a great story that it was illustrated by one of her fans!

This is my favorite video of Capucine. it made me realize that i almost forgot how life can seem so simple! she makes me want to be a little girl again!

If all moms bring the best out of their kids like Capucine’s mother does, the world would be a better place i assure you!

i love you Capucine!

Bizer Bateekh, most creative idea at the 9th Mothers day show

Bizer Bateekh participated at the 9th Annual Mothers Day show & bazar organized by HANDS at Bristol Hotel where we had the chance to be interviewed by Jordan TV. And after the great success at Bristol Hotel, Bizer bateekh also participated at the Mother’s Day Show & Bazaar at City Mall.
people loved our humorous maternity t-shirts, laptop sleeves, bag organizers, greeting cards and many many more. we received great insights and many useful tips and suggestions from Bizer Bateekh fans.
Also, there was a special section at the bazaar dedicated for breast cancer and all the profits went to for that cause.
Everyone loved shopping for a cause and making this mother’s day a special one for all of our mothers with all the creative handmade gifts :)

The best part was announcing Bizer Bateekh as “the most creative idea” for the 9th mother’s show. That meant a lot to me! Thanks to Linda Hallaq from Hands and Mazen from Radio Sawt al Ghad. it was a great experience!

Now i’ll leave you with some photos of the two events and you can check out more here.
