And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. My jouney to veganism and my Islamic perspective. When I was pregnant however I started eating dairy again, I was so unhappy and one of my only comforts was in food and as a result I gained far more than I definitely should have! Cheese and chocolate are not kind to me. However when I converted to Islam and when people found it I didn't eat meat or dairy or. 8220;A good deed done to an animal is as merit...

And that's why I smile: Sadness and Bangladesh and other things

And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Friday, 26 April 2013. Sadness and Bangladesh and other things. I haven't written for a while and I am thinking rather strongly these days about giving up my blog for good. I miss people who think the same as me. Here I feel like a very square peg in a round hole. Not that calling the police in this country would do anything at all. I don't like having to be so aggressive all the time, it's really not my nature. I hope everyon...

And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Monday, 25 February 2013. I'm sorry for the late post! I've had several health problems especially since I arrived in South Africa and just have not been up to writing a whole post, I have had to reserve all the mental energy for home schooling and being able to support my husband. Insha'Allah I will see a new specialist this week. Speaking of being a convert, if looks here could kill! Friday, 15 February 2013. I really apprec...

And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Sunday, 28 April 2013. It's nearly midnight and I am up scrubbing out the fridge and making hummus. I am so tired! It's been a crazy, busy weekend and I have to get up in three hours but I found this and I had to share it before it officially became Monday because I want this week to end on a good note! I seriously think I need this when I think I am nearing thirty and I am nowhere near the person I want to be! I am so tired o...

And that's why I smile: The worst housekeeper
http://blessingsthroughtrials.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-worst-housekeeper.html
And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Tuesday, 5 February 2013. This is a prior warning: This post is primarily about housework. If you are a man or have significantly better things to do then I suggest you stop reading now. My sister is a scary neat freak and when she would tell me I should be like her I would tell her straight "Toni, I'm creative. And we all know creative. People are somewhat eccentric, it just adds to their charm". I mean who does that? There a...

http://blessingsthroughtrials.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-little-things.html
And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Friday, 10 August 2012. Above is my precious love reading books on my bed with me. He has this obsession at the moment with pop up books and books about a panda called Noodle :) A small thing that brings so much joy to my heart. That simple. I think when things get too much that you can't think of getting through the next day let alone the next week one of the best things you can do is to focus on the little things you can...

And that's why I smile: My thoughts on love
http://blessingsthroughtrials.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-thoughts-on-love.html
And that's why I smile. The life and loves of a New Zealand convert in Africa. Wednesday, 1 May 2013. My thoughts on love. I have been in love exactly three times in my life. Maybe that's too many I don't know. Some people believe you only have one great love of your life and who am I to tell them they are wrong. Different people have different thoughts on love. But I do believe each person is sent to teach you a different lesson in life. Eat, Pray, Love. I love the part where it says break your heart so...
