About

Hello there! I’m Haji! A mama with a map full of dreams and a heart rooted in family.

Born in the vibrant rhythms of Sri Lanka and now raising two little birds in the bustling beauty of Toronto, I created The Boarding Nest as a cozy online nook where stories take flight, faith finds a voice, and dreams turn into published pages, all with love, intention, and a little late-night hustle.

I’m a storyteller, content creator, and digital dreamer, with a soft spot for journals, picture books, and purposeful design. My journey began with a degree in Information Systems with Business Management and a postgraduate diploma from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia, Canada. But it truly came to life in the quiet moments between motherhood and migration when I realized I could publish books that matter, and build something meaningful from home.

Today, The Boarding Nest is where I share the books I create, from heartfelt children’s workbooks to reflective journals, all available on Amazon.

This site is my digital front porch.

It’s not a bookstore — but a launchpad.

Here, I showcase my self-published books, from kids activity books to thoughtful guided journals, each created to inspire reflection, imagination, and personal growth. Every book is linked to Amazon so you can explore more and order directly.

You’ll also find blog posts about motherhood, creativity, digital publishing, and side hustle tips, because I believe in lifting others as I rise.

Whether you’re a fellow mom looking for a gentle journal, a new author curious about self-publishing, or someone simply searching for something soulful, I’m so glad you’re here.

✨ A Little More About Me:

  • I’m a proud mama of two: a curious six-year-old and a cuddly baby who inspire nearly everything I create.
  • I publish my books on Amazon, using my blog and online presence to bring them to the world.
  • I believe stories heal, journals help us grow, and faith can be beautifully written down.
  • I’m building this dream during nap times, school runs, and moments stolen from sleep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
