Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken

This Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken is a great weeknight meal.  Just put everything into the crock-pot and forget about it!  I like to serve it over rice and add some avocado on top.  Yum!

You can choose whatever toppings you like or don’t put any extras on top, your choice. 🙂

So, has this summer been flying by or what?!?!?  I can’t believe July is already half gone!

My kids are in the bored stage of summer now, so that has made the past couple of days go by pretty slow.  Everything I suggest they have already done a million times over or it doesn’t sound like fun.

Come on folding towels doesn’t sound like fun???  Well, what about matching socks??  Oh come on it’s a challenge to find that matching sock, it’ll be a lot of fun I promise!!  Yeah they saw right through it!  Oh well, I tried 🙂

So, tell me what are some fun things you do with your kids when they are bored?
