a lawyer-wife, a negotiator-mom, a professional cook, and an average housekeeper who excels in management of multiple chores at a time. However, she believes her real specialty is her superb driving skills, because she can drive with her left hand (at times with no hand depending on the situation), while managing to keep an eye both on the road and the back seat, solving disputes between her two elder children, usually on an unjust occupation of more than a fair share of a seat by one or the other. At the same time, she has to keep the third one quite who is normally situated in the middle on her car seat, and becomes squished between India & Pakistan...err, her elder daughter and son. On a serious note, Allah azzawajal has blessed Umm Reem with 3 wonderful children, aged 3 to 11, with the elder two home-schooled (walhamdullilah). She completed her bachelors in Islamic Studies from AOU (American Open University) recently, and has been actively involved with MSA, TDC and community activities for many years. Although, she is not a professional counselor, she has been pulled into helping mothers and teenage daughters for a few years, including counseling youth at al-Huda in Houston. She was also the founder of Daughters of Adam- the magazine (2001-2007) which will be rejuvenated online in the near future.
