Do It All Mamma

Hello all! I am a mom to three very active teenagers, two energetic mini-schnauzers, and one grumpy kitty. Some days it feels impossible to work all day, taxi kids around, prepare a meal, squeeze in a workout, walk the dog, AND tackle the additional 327 items on your to-do list! I would love to share my successes and failures in hopes of making your day-to-day life a little easier – from recipes to vacations and everything in between!

Slow Cooker Chili Recipe

Chili in the slow cooker!  This is a hearty comfort food, perfect for a cool fall or winter day!  It is great to come home from a busy day to the smell of a delicious crock pot of chili waiting to be enjoyed 🙂  This recipe makes around 6 – 8 servings.  I often freeze half for later!
