September is a busy month for me, not only because it is the beginning of school, back to working outside of my home, Fall soccer season and after-school activities, it is the month that we celebrate the birth of two of my children. \u00a0I\u2019m usually a lot more organized than I was this year, but the month just got away from me. \u00a0I am so very thankful that over the weekend, I was able to call my family and 1\/2 of them were able to make it for dinner and cake the same day to celebrate with us.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, my youngest asked me if I knew the song, \u201cFor The Rest of My Life.\u201d \u00a0Immediately, my brain shifts to Celine Dion or some other ballad singer that I might have heard once upon a time. \u00a0I told her that it sounds familiar, but we could search for it. \u00a0Then she tells me that she heard the song in Islamic Studies. \u00a0That had me stumped. \u00a0A short search later, we found the YouTube video of Maher Zain.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Plkq0sd-n54&w=420&h=315<\/a>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/iframe>\n<p>Which has been playing on a continuous loop in my head for the last 4 days. \u00a0The best thing is when my girls break out in song because the song is on playback inside their heads too. \u00a0Masha\u2019Allah.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September is a busy month for me, not only because it is the
