Instant Mommie Tips & Tricks #1

Us women!!  ...let's just give ourselves a pat on the back right now.  I mean we are some pretty awesome people.  We do a lot of things, take care of a lot of people and hold the fort down!  You've heard the saying, right?

"A woman's job is never done."

It's totally okay for us girls to talk about that and to say it, but a MAN telling us that??? Oh come on.. excuse me, I think I'm taking the night off (*steal remote control, get comfy on the couch and watch tv for the duration of the night, even if you aren't interested on any of the programs shown*).

So - this series I'm starting {tips & tricks} is all about little ways to make our lives easier, whether it is having one less dish in the sink; one less load of laundry; one less item you have to pick up.  You get my drift!

So today I wanted to share with you my "go-to" "holy grail" slow cooker.  

Before me and the Mr. moved in together I shopped around online for different slow-cookers finding features that did and did not appease me.  

One thing I knew about me and slow cooking was that I absolutely DETEST having to sear or pre-cook something on the stove then transfer it into the stoneware slow cooker.  I mean, seriously, whats the point of set it and forget it????

 

 I love love love love love love love..... this slow cooker!  You just don't understand how convenient it is to sear a roast in the same pot you are going to slow cook it in, or to brown some ground meat, etc.  I just can't get enough of it!  The dial has four options: Off, Warm, Low, High.  Once the dial is switched from the Off position you can adjust the timer to your preference, once the timer has finished it will default to warm.

You can get this bomb.com slow cooker here, here and here!
