Alyssa’s Chicken Enchiladas
My sister gave me this enchilada recipe years ago and it’s one of my absolute faves. Yes they have goat cheese in them which sounds weird but just trust me on this one. They are absolutely amazing.
Reflections from the RV
So it turns out that 18 hours in an rv means plenty of time for blogging. I’ve had a lot of people ask me about our rv expeditions with our kiddos and if I would recommend it or not. Here’s the deal. If you are thinking about renting an RV or buying one and taking the fam on some cross country road trips: DO IT. You will undoubtedly make the most amazing family memories that you and your kids will look back on and remember for the rest of your lives.
I’m a mean mom.
I’m a mean mom and that’s perfectly fine with me. I’m not here to be my child’s best friend. It’s not my job to make their life easy or perfect or pain free. It’s my job to prepare them for life and then when the time comes, to let them go so they can live their life. I hope and pray that when the time comes for them to spread their wings and fly, they will be prepared for it. Part of that preparation for life means I have to be the mean mom sometimes.
little momma is halfway to sixteen {and I’m a total wreck about it}
I took little momma out for an impromptu 8 year old photo session for her birthday. Everyday I look at her and can’t believe she’s mine. I don’t deserve her… no seriously, I don’t. But I’m so thankful she’s mine. She’s the perfect blend of sweet but sassy. She cares about others more than herself. Her nickname perfectly suits her – little momma, because she’s always mothering. She takes care of her brothers, her friends, her dad, even me. She loves to give people back rubs. She loves to dance and sing. She loves to smile. She is the light of our lives and I thank God every day that he gave her to me.
The Space Between. And Indiana Jones…
I’ve been thinking about the space between a lot lately and thinking about the space between has made me think about Indiana Jones. Yes, Indiana Jones. (Quick side note -the above picture has absolutely nothing to do with the space between or Indiana Jones. It’s just the view I was looking at when I […]
Good Family…Party of Five {Why Lifestyle Sessions Rock}
This is baby Jack. I’m allowed to use his name publicly on my blog because I can. His mother and I go way back. And by way back, I mean we were roommates in college. And by roommates in college, I mean we shared a room the size of a small closet. And by […]
I Was Wrong {A Yellowstone Recap}
I was wrong. I thought that when it was time for us to pack up and leave from our little cross country excursion to Yellowstone, I would be thrilled. I thought that after nearly two weeks of being together every waking moment and being on top of each other in the RV, I would be […]
Yes to Yellowstone
I’m glad I said “Yes to Yellowstone.” Not because it’s been perfect because it hasn’t been. There is no such thing as perfect and there is definitely no such thing as perfect when traveling the country in a motorhome with a family of five. Nope. There have been tired kids and ear infections and frustrated […]
Recreational Vehicle aka R.V. {A Before & After Story}
We are the Miller’s and we have a Recreational Vehicle. That’s right – we roll Cousin Eddy style. There is a long story behind our R.V. that involves Michael’s dad who we lost to cancer 4 1/2 years ago but that is a different post altogether. For now, I just wanted to share our “Flip that R.V.” […]
Kincaid Wedding
This wedding. It’s an all-time favorite of mine. Sure, the venues – The Skirvin Hotel and OKC Public Farmer’s Market were unbelievably amazing. Yes, the wedding party was fun and fabulous. However, it was the couple that made it so special. Their love for each other, their ability to make each other laugh, the way […]
