School is back in session and fall is almost here. That means it’s a great time to get your home refreshed before the holidays. Tackle those organization projects and give your home a mini makeover!
 
 
Be sure to check out my recipe and giveaway below. 
 
As a busy Mama with two young girls, whenever I can save time and energy with something, I do it!
I have two products I wanted to share with y’all today that not only save me time but help me to relax and enjoy my favorite fall season! 
 

Febreze Air Effects and Fabric Refresh

If you have kids, or pets, or heck husbands with stinky socks {or all three like me} then you know how handy air fresheners and fabric refreshers are. I love Febreze sprays for a quick spritz to eliminates those stinky smells all over the house! 

Swiffer WetJet

Where has this product been my whole life?!
The new Swiffer WetJet mop for wood floors is easy to use and cleans my grimy floors in minutes {with no streaks}! No more mop buckets, water, spills, and messes!
Talk about a time saver!

Speaking of timesavers- how about a timesaving recipe? 
Scroll down for my Chicken and Rice Soup recipe cooking in the slow cooker. This ‘fix it and forget it’ soup is perfect for those days when you don’t want to have to slave over the stove at the end of the day and make dinner. Slow cookers are great timesavers-  and some even say lifesavers!
With all the time I saved with Swiffer and Febreze products, I actually have time to read and relax at home instead of cleaning and cooking all day! What a welcome change!
Happy Fall Y’all!

Notes

Adapted from http://www.rachelcooks.com

Dice up all your veggies or save even more time by 
buying pre-chopped veggies at the grocery store. 
Any mushrooms will work for this recipe but my favorite are meaty Baby Bellas.
Originally I planned on using wild rice for this soup but when my store was out I decided to use brown rice. I love how it turned out!
I am a fan of rich dark meat so in most of my soups I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
You could easily substitute chicken breasts.
Add all your ingredients to a large slow cooker.
I cover with chicken broth. I used almost two boxes. 
 
Stir well to combine. 
Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours. 
 
Remove bay leaves and discard.  
Remove chicken thighs, shred or dice, and mix back into the soup.
If the soup is too thick add more broth.
Scoop into bowls and serve warm.
