About a week ago, Josh started a 40 day party for me. He’s doing something sweet for me each day for the 40 days leading up to my 40th birthday. Yes, adorable.

So, last Friday he came home with flowers. There were three small bouquets, and after we put two in vases around the family room, Josh recommended that we put the third bouquet in our bathroom.

“Our what?” I said.

And so, giggling a bit, I placed the third bouquet in our bathroom.

And each time that I went by the bathroom during the day, I felt like royalty. It was such a refreshing thing to admire a beautiful bouquet of bright white flowers in the bathroom. I had to laugh when Josh mentioned that they made him feel similarly regal.

And so, today when we did our errands, we made sure to buy a bouquet for the bathroom.

Beautiful pink roses.

For only 15 shekels (about $4), I’ve become royal.

Just call me Kate.

It’s amazing how much a difference little things can make.
