You can even do this on the car ride home after the school day is over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your rose is a highlight of your day, and your thorn is something that maybe didn\u2019t feel so good or that hurt a little bit,&#8221; the duchess continues. &#8220;Sharing both is a great opportunity to talk about your days together. It\u2019s also better than the one-word answer you can get if you just ask, &#8216;&#8221;How was your day?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, she shares that Archie and Lilibet have a new go-to phrase to describe their days, adding, &#8220;Truth be told, our children have now started saying, &#8216;My day was just a blast!&#8217; and that makes us smile to no end!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.marieclaire.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second season of Meghan Markle&#8217;s Netflix series With Love, Meghan, premiered on August 26, and throughout the lifestyle show she demonstrates how to make everyday moments just a bit more special.
