Ramadan after 10 years

by Abigail

This is our 11th Ramadan as an expat family in Dubai. Each year we have  learned and appreciated how it can be special for us too. Looking back, our first Ramadan here was very different. A lot of things freaked me out – no place to buy food; we might get deported if we eat; we can’t go out during the day. Crazy! Below...

Strawberry Chia Jam

Bread, butter and jam makes me happy. At one event hosted by Tavola for Panasonic Bread Machine, I tasted a delicious homemade jam. The simple, fresh and pure taste of the jam made by Rebecca just lingered that I had to make one at home too. Three ingredients is all you need to make this jam at home. I must insist though that you get the...

In and out of the water we shield ourselves with a SPF 50 from both UVA/UVB rays. . We get Vitamin D from the sun which produces happy hormones and improves memory. Get sunkissed daily but do avoid the hottest hours, between 10am to 4pm. . Ever since attending Naos Skin Academy with @biodermame on proper sun protection we have been conscious on making sure that we are only getting the good benefits Mr. Sun provides. #suncarefuncare #biodermame . #uaemombloggers #dubaibloggers #summerfun #fununderthesun #divein #dubaimums
We received a generous produce from @nrtcfresh yesterday with a discount code for everyone! . Made me so happy that it got me making an easy and fun school snack for the kids. I do miss sharing my kids #bento boxes on the grid so here goes. . RAMADAN20 is the discount code! Go to www.nrtcfresh.com and have your weekly fruit and vegetables delivered. . #nrtcfresh #letsmakelunchfun #bento #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #uaemombloggers #mombloggers #dubaimums #dubaiblogger #cnclunchbox #citrondubai
We attended the movie premiere of @uglydolls thanks to @pearlfmuae . This movie has such an important message for kids (everyone)! . After watching #uglydolls , Chloe and I discussed different social encounters and bullying at school and outside. Most of us have probably lived through different types of #bullying and maybe still experiencing it now. . I think movies like #UglyDolls aims to promote empathy in our kids, presented in a way that is easy for them to see and understand. It also opens a platform for a parent-child discussion on bullying and how to handle it. . ••• •• • @gulffilm #moviepremiere #uaemombloggers #dubaibloggers #dubaimums #gulffilm
I DONUT want to imagine life without my three crazies. . This roller coaster ride called Motherhood takes your emotion all over the place. Trying my best to enjoy each ride, one day at a time. . ••• •• #mothersday #uaemombloggers @dunkindonutsuae #doughnuts #chocobutternut #dubaimums
Chicken Sopas is the ultimate comfort food! A Filipino style chicken cream soup filled with vegetables, macaroni and flavorful both. . My boys can gulped down a big bowl, they complained when I served sopas on a @lecreuset mini cocotte. 🤣 . What is your ultimate comfort food? . ••• •• • #cocotte #lecrueset #minicocotte #uaemombloggers #dubaifoodbloggers #dubaibloggers #sopas #filipinofood #filipinofoodmovement #soup
We got competitive over Jenga. . #jenga #gamenight #weekendfun #familytime #uaemombloggers
“Are you allowed to eat?” . A question we get asked when we inform family & friends that it is Ramadan. Funny thing is the questions they asked were some worries I had on our first Ramadan here. . On the blog today, I answered some questions we often get asked. I also share how Ramadan has become a special time for us as well. . ••• •• #nowontheblog #uaemombloggers #myRamadan #myDubai #Ramadan #RamadanStories #dubaiblogger #mkbkids
Pikachu, I choose you! . Pokémon was a big part of my childhood because my younger brother was obsessed with it. Now, my kids are! . @rovehotels & @warnerbrosme organized an afternoon of Pokémon scavengers hunt. We “caught” three Jigglypuff and won prizes. . Do you have Pokémon obsessed kids? . ••• •• • #pokemonrove #pokemon #myDubai #uaemombloggers #dubaibloggers #warnerbros #pikachu
I’m so excited to learn the MOLA way of living with Mariam’s ‘The Messy Mobile Life” book. . So happy to have braved the roads to catch up with Mariam at ‘The Messy Mobile Life’ Dubai book launch. Although we have shared only a handful of moments, she is one of the person you meet that gives you the positive vibe, so easy to converse with that you end up with a smile on your face. . If you are not yet following @andthenwemovedto , you should! . Looking forward to follow more of your adventures from across the miles, Mariam. Congratulations! . ••• •• • #uaemombloggers #dubaiblogger #dubaimoms #myDubai #mkbkids #messymobilelife #expatlife #expatlifestyle
Treasure friends who eat cake for breakfast. We did have our avocado toasts to balance it out, we are after all a bunch of #DubaiMoms . Such is life of an expat, one is bound to say goodbye. A piece of us is broken 💔 Until we meet again, Paula. We wish you a great adventure ahead. . @walnutgrovedubai Cake Sharing Platter is a every dose of happiness we needed that day. #notsponsored @entertainerdxb voucher for main course accepted here 👍🏼 . Enjoyed every bite, laughter and tears shared. @and_then_there_were_2_ @katherineabdeen @mummyonmymind @mumspalette @ourbigdubaiadventure @onegeekofaparent . . #uaemombloggers #dubaimum #expatlife #expatfamily #breakfast #eatcake #myDubai
Ballet is the activity she chose at 5 years old and she is still enjoying every minute of it. . LittleMiss Chloe with Miss Helena after her second concert with @turningpointeuae . Her class played the role Nice Grandma for the ‘Hansel & Gretel’ production. I still held back tears to see her dance oh so gracefully on stage. My once so shy baby girl so confident. . Thank you, @turningpointeuae . ••• •• #uaemombloggers #uaebloggers #dubaibloggers #ballet #hanselandgretel #mydubai
“My turn to go on a date with you, Mama.” . I cherish moments that I get to spend some alone time with him. To be the only baby in my eyes at that moment is what we both exactly need. . Topics discussed - One Punch Man, the Odd Ones Out, @krisfadeshow spending a week on a box and laughing over silly @youtube videos. . ••• •• • #uaemombloggers #dubaiblogger #mommyandme #forahappymoment #mommyandme #firstborn

The name ‘Cuddles and Crumbs’ is a combination of the two main things I share on this blog: cuddles (family) and crumbs (food). The blog had a few name changes over the years – nappytales (2008) to mynappytales (2010) to cuddlesandcrumbs – I do think that now I have finally found the right name that truly reflects what I am passionate about.
