My family has recently discovered the joy of slow cooker dinner planning. And, by planning, I mean not really planning. This particular recipe is about as simple as it gets. Combine chicken breasts or tenders with a jar of your favorite salsa in your slow cooker. If you really want to get fancy, you can add some beans or fresh vegetables. Cook for whatever time your cooker recommends (usually 5-ish hours), serve and enjoy! Great served with rice. Pro-tip: adjust the spice level of your salsa according to your tastes.

Cupboard Door Organizer
We’ve made it a goal around our house to create usable space from what might seem like unusable space. For instance, check out the inside of our newly painted office desk cabinet. We created a cupboard door organizer by covering a bulletin board with a neutral fabric. This opens up space to tack up reminders and inspirations. On the lower section of the door, we adhered a dry erase board for quick notes or for homework problems. We love this convenient space!
Drill Bit Depth Guide
Drilling multiple holes through concrete (or any other material) can be tough enough without having to guess how deep each hole is every time you drill. Put a piece of tape on the drill bit at the correct depth and drill the right depth consistently and smoothly.
Use Hair Clips to Prevent Tangled Cords
Are your wires turning into a tangled knot? It turns out that one of the things we use to keep hair from tangling can also be used to prevent tangled cords. Just untangle your cords one last time and snap a hairclip over the group of them. It will keep them all together while keeping them contained enough to prevent knots. If you have longer cords, you may need to add another hair clip every few feet to keep everything under control.
