Stepping outside my Comfort Zone: A Guide to Discovery
From Confused to Curious (and Still Learning)
Hey there! I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m a mom who grew up Christian, married to a hardworking Muslim man, and we’re raising two little ones in a home that blends both of our worlds—lots of love, culture, and figuring things out as we go. Our son is almost 3 now, and he’s starting to ask questions and pick up on everything around him. That really lit a fire under me to learn more about Islam—something I honestly knew very little about.
With my husband always working to support us, I’ve taken the lead on teaching our kids about his faith. I taught myself how to recite Al-Fatiha (even though I didn’t grow up with a single word of Arabic!) and found some really great tools and books—most of them from Amazon—that have helped make this journey a little easier and a lot more meaningful.
This site is where I share what’s worked, what I’m learning, and how we’re raising our kids in a mixed faith and cultural home. If you’re on a similar path—or even just curious—you’re in the right place.
Learning as I Go (For Them)
Learning something new isn’t always easy—especially when it’s something you weren’t raised with and want so badly to get right for your kids.
When I realized I needed to play an active role in teaching my children about Islam, I felt overwhelmed. I didn’t grow up with it, and I didn’t know where to start. But I knew I couldn’t just sit on the sidelines. So I started small—watching YouTube videos during nap time, reading articles late at night, asking questions (even when I felt awkward), and finding books and tools that actually made sense to me.
It’s been a slow, steady process, but every step has been worth it. This space is where I share that journey—what I’m learning, what’s helping, and how I’m doing my best to show up for my kids, even when I don’t have all the answers.
If you’re on a similar path, you’re not alone. Let’s figure it out together.
