Growmama Picks is a collection of fun, interesting, and inspiring links that we share with you at the end of every month. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

1. Learning to deal with babies in the masjid<\/a>. It\u2019s a two-way street. $\"\"$ <\/p>\n

2. With the change of seasons comes the \u201cgreat clothes swap.\u201d Here is one blogger\u2019s advice<\/a> on swapping summer clothes for winter clothes with less organizational wrinkles.<\/p>\n

3. A writer reflects on the dilemma<\/a> of being Muslim, young, educated, female, and single.<\/p>\n

4. The need to justify and assign labels to what we do as mothers is strong. This blogger<\/a> suggests we let go of that urge.<\/p>\n

5. An affordable, simple swimwear solution for girls that is also decent: a rash guard top and boy\u2019s swim trunks (found in any department store). Like this<\/a> and this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. We can start prepping for Ramadan in the month of Rajab\u2013 here is what we can be doing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0There are no words for Syria, no words that could capture the horror and monstrosity. Even more horrifying than the mutilation of children is the world\u2019s silence at such crimes. If any of us were shifted slightly in time and place, those would be our screams, our blood, our children muted into silence. As Muslims, they indeed are <\/em>our children. There are too many links to choose one here, but this article from The Telegraph<\/a> manages to give a small picture of what happened this week in Houla.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
