Who I Am

A woman sitting at a restaurant table with a white tablecloth, smiling with her chin resting on her hand, wearing a dark top, in a warmly lit dining area with people in the background.

I’m Zain. And I’m from the beautiful island of Bahrain.

An accountant by education, and a communications specialist by career.

I’m also a mother of two, a girl and a boy, and a fur baby who runs the house.

I started this blog in 2012 and stopped in 2016. I decided to bring it back to life after a breakfast conversation with my daughter - she said: Do it, Mama. And well, here I am. I write about life as I live it. Food I cook at home. Places we travel to as a family. And everything in between.

I love traveling. I love reading. But I’m also a homebody. I enjoy staying in, hosting, and creating a space people want to gather in.

Music is a big part of my life. It’s always on, in the background of everything.

This blog is a collection of things I don’t want to forget. Simple recipes. Real experiences. Everyday moments that matter.
