Is this blog of benefit to you?

Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

I've been away from the blog for a few weeks, and in that time I have done a lot of thinking.

I am considering whether to put an end to the blog. Before I make a decision, I wanted to ask if anyone out there who actually does read this blog, do you find any benefit to it?

 I do genuinely want to know, if anyone reading this actually does find use from my postings or not, or am I just writing away to myself?

If there are regular readers, I would appreciate you taking a moment of your time to leave a small comment and let me know if you do find any benefit / help / use from this blog?

I really don't know whether to close the doors on this, or to continue?

    Absolutely a sadaka jariya sister , and as umme Salahuddin mentioned , there are only few islamic homeschooling blogs and groups so you closing the blog means only fewer islamic knowledge for us and others to benefit from
    so please sister dont close it Unless it is interfering with your daily life and causing you hardship , in that case we understand
    may Allah reward you for your lovely work
    jazak Allah khayr sister

    Wa alaikum salaam. I am not homeschooling, but I do get a lot of info and ideas (even for my toddler) so I feel that if I ever go that route, I will have enough pros and cons to make an informed decision. Keep on blogging if it does not interfere with any of your other activities. Are you concern that you are not been followed? Is it that your question is really to us, your readers: how committed are we to the blog?

      Alhamdulillah its nice to know not only homeschoolers are benefiting!

      The blog is a funny thing - it started as a more personal account of my homeschooling experience however, when people localy figured out who I am, I didn't seem comfortable to write so personaly as you don't want people knowing everything you are doing in your own four walls!
      So the direction changed in the way that I try to provide materials and resources which may benefit other parents, homeschoolers and educators inshaAllah. - however this requires a little more effort on my part. I am happy for silent readers Alhamdulillah, I just wanted to see if people really do find any benefit or not before I considered leaving the blogasphere!

    Assalamualaikum sister, I'm one of those silent readers and I too love your blog, May Allah swt grant you and your family success in this life and the hereafter for all the resources you have shared with us.
    I've benefited soooo much sister with your advice and ideas, not to mention the wonderful lapbooks. Its actually taken you to say you will stop the blog that I've come and thank you for this subhannallah please forgive, please try and carry on sis, unless like the previous sister said it's becoming a hardship for you, then we understand, but please could you keep the blog up, so we can carry on and benefit and find inspiration when we're feeling down with our homeschool days!

    Assalaamu'alaikum sister,

    MashaAllah please do continue, it's a very cute blog. I regularly read your posts and find the general information about homeschooling very informative, the only reason I don't currently make full use of it is that my only son is just 10 months old so I don't have need for all the resources just yet but inshaAllah I will do in the future.

    Keep it up sister, sometimes thoughts about quitting pop up in one's mind but you'll never feel bad that you kept trying, you'll only feel bad about quitting. InshaAllah if there is anything you'd like from your readers more in the way of feedback then let us know, or perhaps you could try to get others on board too?

    With love as your sister in Islam

    Assalam aleikum from Norway.

    It is just a few days ago I started to think about homeschooling my daughter. As usual, I googeled it, and came across your blog. I was a bit confiused whether or not I should homeschool, but in couple of days I have been so inspired by your blog that I am sure I want to do it.

    I pray to Allah that He will give you strenght to continue this blog, and to give you high reward for this.

    JazakAllah khair.

    Please don't leave. But if you decide to leave, please leave the blog in tact. Maybe you can share the free version (.blogspot.com) of the website with us so you don't have to handle domain. Then it can stay forever and be good use to us.

    Assalamualikum ukhti,
    Just came across your thought of closing the blog.
    Though I saw it quite late but am sooooo glad you are still there!!!
    Whenever i read on your blog or use your free stuff I naturally make dua for you. It just comes out from the heart!
    Like the other sisters mentioned there are not many Muslim homeschool blogs.
    So PLEASE continue with the good work and I pray the Allah rewards you from every benefit a sister gets. Ameen

    Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah sister,

    Your blog is absolutely amazing and it sort of gives me motivation to do the same for my children. The resources and ideas you provide are great. May ALLAH SWT reward you immensely as you are not only raising your own children as good people of the ummah but also helping other mothers who are not so innovative and creative but still want to educate their children in the best possible way.
    JazakALLAH and please carry on.
