“While they are at your side, love these little ones to the uttermost. Forget yourself. Serve them; care for them; lavish all your tenderness on them ....Love them and win their love, and shower on them all the treasures of your heart. Fill up their days with happiness, and share with them their mirth and innocent delights. Childhood is but for a day. Ere you are aware it will be gone with all its gifts for ever.” ~George Townshend

Sweet Things
Rosey (rosehip) tea, apple muffins and fairy floss (cotton candy) scented candles.
The girls have really gotten into the whole English tradition of tea time. Anisa wanted to make 'rosey tea', so we raided our herbal stash (to no avail), attempted to create our own refreshing infusion using dried Persian rose petals (never do that) and ultimately found ourselves at the local grocery store where we eventually located a rose hip, lemongrass and ginger tea (close enough). While we were in the aisle Ruhi noticed some marshmallows and asked if we could get them. Undismayed by the negative answer she then proposed that we buy them for Ridvan. She said, and I quote: "We really should because they are sweet and Baha'u'llah's words are sweet." How can you argue with logic like that?
