I guess it’s time to introduce the new me.

This page started as a place to dump the pointless photos on my phone… and somehow, almost five years later, it’s still that…. just with more chaos, more honesty, and way less sleep.

So here we go …. a re-introduction.

British (Welsh) Pakistani living in Dubai.
Full-time corporate slave.
Full-time mum to a baby girl.
Full-time (he insists “part-time”) wife.
Basically full-time tired.

I’m out here trying to “have it all” and failing in the most spectacular, relatable way… but still showing up in whatever form I can manage. I will either text you back straight away or forget to messages you because I mentally did!! It’s not personal, I promise!!

If you came here for perfection, you’re lost but if you love real life with a side of sarcasm, you’re home.

Welcome to the chaos 🤍✨

A December to remember.

It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Do not set out on a journey except to three mosques: al-Masjid al-Haram, my mosque, and al-Masjid al-Aqsa.”

(Bukhari & Muslim)

Alhamdulillah for everything.

“They won’t remember it anyway.” - But I will. When I’m old, these are the memories that I will replay in my mind.

They won’t remember last night’s bedtime story either. Or the songs. Or most of the cuddles.

And yet.

We travel because childhood isn’t just built from memories. It’s built from moments that quietly shape who they become. The curiosity. The adaptability. The feeling that the world is big and safe and worth exploring.

So yes, we take her. Through the jet lag and the nappy bag and the zero rest. Every single time.

Alhamdulillah for every trip, every moment, every “was it worth it” that answers itself.

Big sister advice: stop romanticising burnout and go to bed, your to-do list will survive. Your nervous system might not. 😂

Ending such a wholesome month with a very grateful heart. To everyone who wished me, celebrated me, showed up for me or simply thought of me, thank you. I see you, I appreciate you, and I never take your love for granted. 🤍

Here’s to another year, another chapter, and all the little moments that make life so special. ✨Alhamdulillah, always 🥰

Dubai drivers… can we PLEASE discuss the left-lane situation? 😂🚗

Is it just me or does everyone suddenly forget the “keep right unless overtaking” rule?! 👀😂

Tell me your biggest Dubai driving pet peeve 👇🏼
