This is a very special week for Mimi 🥹
Her birthday and Eid landed on the same day along with her cousin’s birthday ❤️🎉

But after hearing about a family in need she felt compelled to give them gifts instead
And honestly that made me so proud of her

I’m very proud that she learned how important it is to give even on a day that was supposed to be all about her 🥹

Very blessed and thankful to have such great kids and such a great audience watching our journey together

Happy Eid to everyone celebrating 🌙❤️
And to the people who don’t celebrate, we love you very much too

Thank you guys so much for watching

My oldest daughter Mira basically grew up in the bakery 🥹
Covered in flour or strapped to my wife’s back while we worked

Thinking about it now, it’s honestly insane how far the bakery has come and how fast my kids are growing up ❤️

I’m very thankful to finally be in a position where I can take real time off with my kids
And I feel really lucky to work alongside my family and have my kids narrate these videos with me

My daughter’s birthday lands on Eid next week which makes the day even more special 🌙🎉

This week’s croissant flavor is green apple 🍏🥐
We’ve really been loving the sour flavors lately and I wanted to make something green

Next week I’ll let Mimi pick the flavor 😭
I’ll be missing a few days of work so we’ll see if the guys can hold the place together without me 😂 I’m sure they can

Thank you guys so much for watching ❤️
I’ll see you in the next one

We recently visited King Tut Mediterranean Restaurant at 13510 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98133 ❤️

My hope is that this food review by my family can help support this small business 🥹
I don’t think people fully realize how difficult things are right now for small businesses

King Tut is currently owned by a hardworking woman from El Salvador who sacrifices so much for her business every single day
You can genuinely taste the love in the food

And honestly I love the fact that amazing Arabic food can be made by someone from South America 🌎🥖

Thankful to my kids for participating in this food review and thank you guys so much for watching ❤️

Cozy campfire reading, creamy mango croissants, za’atar mac and cheese (shoutout to ), and soccer games were the highlights of our weekend ✨

We’re so thankful for all of you who continue to support us and stop by the bakery ❤️ Even during the busy seasons, your support has allowed us to hire enough help so we can still spend meaningful time with family — and we’re so incredibly grateful for that.

In my kids’ eyes everything probably looks easy today 🥹
Making mango croissants, baking baklava, and putting out all the different things we make at the bakery every day

But what they don’t see is how difficult the road was to get here
This bakery opened over eight years ago and it was honestly the hardest period of my life

I’m just very thankful and happy to be where I am today ❤️
And even more thankful to have my kids narrating my videos and becoming part of this journey with me

Thank you guys so much for watching 🥐

Me and my son Malek tried the viral pineapple Kool Aid trend 🍍😂

Honestly I thought this trend looked silly and ridiculous, but we were so curious that we had to make it ourselves and try it

And somehow… it’s actually so good 😭
Super sweet, tangy, and weirdly refreshing. I honestly don’t even know how to describe it but it perfectly satisfies a sweet tooth

I would not mind having a jar of this in the refrigerator at all times 😂
We both loved it and definitely recommend trying it at home ❤️

We were blessed to have a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend 😊🥹💐 lots of fun with the kids, a barbecue to celebrate my mom and wife (not a poopy pants), some delicious cotton candy croissants and, importantly, my baby fig trees are doing great

05/10/2026

While I’m finishing the cotton candy croissant, my kids are narrating about their mom for Mother’s Day 🥹❤️

I’ll be honest, I don’t know how she does it
And honestly I don’t know how any mother does it

I will forever be grateful to my wife for being such a great mother to our three beautiful kids
What she does is far greater and more important than anything I will ever do and I will always feel like I’m standing in her shadow for that

We all love you very much
Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

As for the cotton candy croissant 🍭🥐
All the colors and extra flour I was throwing on top kind of fused together and turned into this pale gray color 😭 definitely not the visual result I was hoping for

But I’m honestly so happy I was still able to make a real cotton candy croissant
I’m talking crispy layers, buttery honeycomb inside, a hint of cotton candy flavor in the dough, and then packed with cotton candy cream ❤️

I could write a book or make a movie about my mom’s life 🥹
From surviving extreme poverty in war torn Kurdistan, to losing two of my sisters, to finally moving to America

Ever since I was a kid she told me stories that captivated me and inspired me to become a storyteller myself ❤️
She is honestly one of the greatest storytellers you could ever listen to

But the greatest gift my mom ever gave me was belief in myself
She believed I was special
She believed I could achieve whatever I wanted in life

She was never really the cuddling type, but that belief in me was more than enough to set me on a good path
All I ever wanted growing up was to make my mom happy and proud

As I got older I realized one of the greatest things I can do for my own kids is build their self confidence and make them believe in themselves too 🥹

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there and a special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom ❤️

In the background I’m finishing the lemon cream croissant inspired by my son Malek’s love for lemons 🍋🥐
After making the blue raspberry croissant I realized how powerful tangy and sour flavors can be in a croissant and thankfully this one turned out amazing 😭

Thank you to everyone who came by and tried it

This week we’re making a cotton candy croissant 🍭

05/07/2026

I was honestly shocked to find out that a dentist created the first cotton candy machine 😂
My kids were also completely confused and baffled which started a whole string of conspiracy theories about why a dentist was making candy for kids 😭

This is honestly one of my favorite narrations my kids have ever done ❤️
I think I listened to it like 100 times

If you can’t already tell, this week I’m attempting a cotton candy croissant 🥐
The dough looks so beautiful so far and now we’ll see how it goes over the next few days with lamination, proofing, and baking
