It isn’t often that my husband and I get time alone together. It was a blessing today when my mother-in-law stopped by for a short time to entertain the children, so we could reconnect. Somehow, we ended up a park we had never before explored and I was really impressed. I savored every single moment we had together by being extremely conscious of our environment. We absorbed the sounds of the trickling water, the birds singing, and squirrels scurrying. We were also really careful to beware of snakes as we discovered a snake skeleton in the rocks. Of course thoughts of the children were always present and my husband kept mentioning that they would love this park. Insha Allah, I am grateful for those moments today. We really needed time to reconnect with each other as well as Allah.

Gather ideas from our online journal for nature studies, outdoor activities, arts and crafts, homeschooling curriculum, projects, and spending quality time with the children.- O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allâh, but do that which they are commanded. Qur'an (At-Tahrim 66:6)
Who are we?
As salaam alaikum,
Welcome to River City Homeschoolers. We are an Islamic homeschooling family in Richmond, VA with five lovely girls(11, 9,7, 5, and 4) and two wonderful boys (13 and a toddler). Currently, the girls are being homeschooled while our eldest son is enjoying a second year school experience at a small, all-boys middle school.My husband and I were born and raised in Virginia. We both accepted Islam on the same day about 11 years ago, masha Allah.
