Welcome to my blog!

I'm excited to begin blogging. Ever since I was a kid I've loved writing. For fun, I used to write and illustrate my own "books". A few years ago I discovered places where I could write articles on the web. I've written for places such as Orato.com (where I got started), eHow.com, Associated Content (now known as Yahoo! Voices), Yahoo! News, and Yahoo! Shine. I decided to start a blog because I like writing with a more personal style than many content sites are looking for. So, my plans for this blog are to have a place where I can write about issues pertaining to Muslim parents, as well as write about the things I'm doing to live a greener lifestyle. I'll be posting recipes for homemade health and beauty products and cleaning products. Well, I guess that's it for my first post. Thank you for reading! :)
