Apparently my daughter has been listening to me all these years. ❤️

We were talking this weekend about why people save the good candles, fancy soaps and all those little things for a special occasion.

Here’s your reminder: You don’t need a special occasion to enjoy the things you love.

Life is happening right now.

What is something you’ve been saving for “someday”?

The best building or renovation decisions are often the ones people don’t even notice.

This episode starts with thinking about the space planning needs of your family and if you entertain. It then moves to thinking through a major part of the inside of the walls, which is your electrical, and ensuring that you have plugs and switches where you’ll be using them. The fifth one is a little tip if you have teens or tweens coming up. 😉

We have custom-built three homes and survived a major renovation. With each project, we have learned things we would do again and things we would change. It has been fun sharing all of this learning with you over the last 11 episodes, and I hope you save these and come back to them for your next renovation or build.

Stay tuned for next week where we share some of our favourite things in our house.

What other questions do you have about building or renovating? I’d love to share what we have learned.

Another episode of Life with Michele and Doug. 😂

So Doug woke me up at 4 AM yesterday to say goodbye before heading to the airport , and my brain decided that was the perfect time to discuss Thanksgiving dinner. 🇨🇦

More specifically, the turkey he was supposed to buy.

I didn’t even say good morning. Just opened my eyes and went straight to “You were supposed to buy a turkey!”

I have absolutely no idea why THAT was the first thought my brain pulled out of its filing cabinet at 4 AM. 😂 There are 37 tabs open in there and the turkey one was front and center.

The funniest part was his text later that morning. He wasn’t upset. He was more concerned that I had so much on my mind that TURKEY was the first thing out of my mouth at 4 AM. So he told me not to worry about it, he’d take care of it.

Then he informed me that he’d already filled in the missing parts of our conversation. You know, the good morning, I love you, I’ll miss you stuff.

And he got it exactly right. ❤️

I have a habit of jumping from A to D in conversations, completely forgetting that the other person wasn’t inside my head for steps B and C. I only found out at 58 with my late diagnosis that there’s an explanation for some of this.

Doug’s had 33 years of practice. He doesn’t even need subtitles anymore. 😉

Send this to the person who has to translate your brain, or the one whose brain you’ve learned to translate. And give them a little extra love today. They probably deserve it. 😂❤️

I spent 37 years in the photography industry, so my poor kids have had a camera pointed at them for most of their lives. 😂 And I am SO glad they did.

We have family portraits from when the girls were little, through all the different stages of growing up, and now as adults. They’re all over our house, and the older I get, the more I love having all these different versions of our family to look back on.

Years ago I also started hiring a photographer when we travelled. Now some of those are my favourites because they bring back the trip AND that particular stage of our family. I can look at one and remember where we were, how old the girls were and what our life looked like then.

But here’s something I think we forget. Please don’t stop taking family pictures when your kids grow up.
It definitely gets harder. Everyone has jobs and schedules and partners and their own lives, and getting everybody in the same place looking somewhat presentable at the same time can be a pain in the ass. 😂 But our family didn’t stop being worth photographing just because our kids became adults.

Not long ago, one of my daughters told me how glad she is that I took so many pictures while they were growing up. Not just the family portraits, but all the pictures of the things we did and the life we had together. After all the years of them sometimes complaining because Mom wanted ANOTHER picture, I loved hearing that.

These pictures aren’t just for me. Someday they’ll belong to my girls too. And I hope we keep taking them as our family changes.

As the girls get married, and hopefully one day there are grandchildren, I want the family portrait to keep getting bigger and bigger. This means more schedules to coordinate, more people to wrangle and probably more complaining about Mom making everyone take a picture. I’m good with that.

Take the pictures when they’re little, but please don’t stop when they grow up. Every version of your family is worth remembering. ❤️

How long ago was your most recent family photo? I’m curious. And if you just realized it’s been WAY too long, save this as your reminder to book one.
