So I have started a new addition to my blog: “Miller Party of Five: Quotes of the Week.”  Throughout the week as my kids do something or say something that I want to remember, I am writing myself a note on a notepad.  Then, on Sundays, I am going to type them up and post...

The Schwerdtfeger Family {Sneak Peek}

These are so awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time to capture our family. Tyson seemed to enjoy this photo shoot more than any other, which says a lot. It was actually cool enough to wear a sweater without him sweating to death. And it helped that one of our dearest friends was behind the camera! Thanks again. We too feel blessed to have your family in our lives.

Girl = DRAMA!

I am beginning to notice some major differences between boys and girls the older that Emmy gets.  At least my boy and girl that is.  For instance, the other day big brother and little momma BOTH got in trouble for a bad report while we were eating at a restaurant with friends.  The result: both kids had...

I don't have boys, but with 3 girls my house is FULL of drama!!!!!!! And yes toys get put in time-out. Usually because they older two girls are fighting over the toy, so it gets put into time out. I am so going to use your good choices= Good consiquences technique. My oldest (who is 7) is to the point where she wants a reason for everything, and that's a pretty clear reason. Thanks!

Since the last time we spent a day at your house (or maybe the time before), we have been going hard core with the "good choices=good consequences" and vica versa. Thanks for the inspiration! and NO we have not used the "toy in time-out" (probably because I'm meaner than you and quickly move into "automatic spanking" method- which seems to be pretty effective) but I might just give it a try. However that might just mean Beau putting Tytus in time out or Tytus putting Beau, since they pretty much just play with each other during waking hours!! love ya, thanks for the mom ideas!

Carissa,
I have been meaning to make this for over a week but finally had time to tonight. Josh loved it!! I did not put celery or almonds on top. I actually added just a sprinkling of low fat shredded cheese and it was amazing. Thanks so much. Keep those recipes coming!!!!

alayna

my family has a very similar recipe that we absolutely love! "sausage & rice casserole" all the same ingredients except instead of chicken broth we use cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup. can't go wrong with sausage and yummy veggies!!!
