LOVE

Love is wonderful and thrilling

Love is happy and warm

Love is kisses and hugs

Love is never mean or selfish.

ABC Poems

Always fun to play with,

Brown when it is wet,

Cream when it is dry,

Dig it up with shovels

What is it? 

SAND! 

Acrostic Fun

Queen Bee

Queens are bigger
Use drones for mating
Eggs are what she lays
Ends when she shows signs of weakening
New queen is born

How it all began...

About two years ago, a few families who collectively had about 20 girls, got together to have a monthly reading club and fun night for them. The club was a place where they could swap books, read together and compare ideas and opinions on the books, act out plays, present their own writings to each other, and do different cooking and craft projects based on different themes.

With so many different personalities, interests, and talents, the idea came up to start a blog where the girls could share their writings and interests with each other and the rest of the world. Hopefully, this will encourage others and be a way for the reading club girls to stay connected beyond their monthly meetings and far beyond their time living in Madinah, inshaa Allah..

May Allah bless their efforts and may all that is posted on this blog be pleasing to Him - aameen.
