slow cooker potato soup (simple!)

-
I made this soup last night & it was delicious, if I do say so myself. My MIL had made some sort of potato soup a few weeks ago and I knew her ingredients, but wasn't so sure of how she put it together. And since we don't exactly have a phone-calling kind of relationship, I made it up myself. I also googled potato soup recipes, but most called for frozen hash browns. Anyway, here's my recipe.

2 (10 3/4 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
1 can of milk (filled up one of the COC soup cans)
8 potatoes, cut & peeled (you could leave them unpeeled but ours were getting green so I just peeled them)
4 chicken breasts, thawed & sliced

Put everything in the crockpot on low for 2 hours. Then I put mine on high for 2 hours (while the kids napped) just to make sure the potatoes would be done. Then on low again for 2 more hours. I'm sure on low for 6 hours would have done the trick but our potatoes and chicken were perfect. Shut the crock pot off about an hour before (to cool) and serve.

This will serve 2 little boys, 1 big man, and 1 mama for dinner and have enough for the mom and kids to have for lunch the next day. I served with grapes & cheese sandwiches.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
