Cheesy Mashed Potato Pancakes

Raise your hand if you intentionally cook extras just to have more leftovers!

I came across this delicious recipe for mashed potato pancakes shortly after Thanksgiving when I was looking for a way to use up the last of our leftover mashed potatoes. Well, they were so delicious that I intentionally asked my husband to make extra mashed potatoes for Christmas in anticipation of cooking these up again.


My friends, gather up your leftovers and throw together this easy, cheesy, totally tasty treat! Think creamy, crispy, salty, savory... I could go on and on. These take just a few precious minutes of your time to cook up and the result is perfection.

The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri

I received free product to facilitate this review. I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and link to amazon.com.

We use frying pans a lot in our house... grilled cheese, pancakes, omelets, meat. Pretty much every day we are using it for something! I certainly have pans in my cabinet that I prefer over others, typically due to their nonstick qualities or how evenly my food cooks on them. I was excited to put The Green Earth Pan by Ozeri to the test!

Perfect Sugar Cookies Every Time

My sweet daughter is a gift-giver. It's in her blood. She loves to give. So every holiday or special occasion, she insists that we give gifts to all her classmates. The gift is always the same ~ sugar cookies! It's funny because she herself doesn't like sugar cookies. She's a chocolate chip girl. But she is convinced that her friends love sugar cookies, especially when she decorates them herself.

A Fantastic Night at Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt!

We were provided with complimentary tickets through Feld Entertainment in exchange for promoting this event. All opinions expressed are my own.

We were so excited to be able to attend Disney on Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt, on opening night at the Agganis Arena in Boston this weekend! We are huge fans of most anything "Disney," and I grew up attending Disney on Ice yearly. The last time we went, I was pregnant with our now four year old daughter. We've been thinking about going since she was born but she's always been a little bit timid about it. Even when we were invited to attend this year's program, she wasn't sure she was ready to accept the offer. Well... she is glad she made the choice to go... and her parents are too!

Soothie Suckers Herbal Ice Pops ~ Review and Giveaway!


We received free product to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are my own.

There are things about this time of year ~ fall and winter ~ that I love. I love the changing leaves, the fresh snowfall, and the excitement of the holiday season. But not far from those wonderful things are some of the not so wonderful things... you know what I'm talking about... the runny noses, stuffy noses, coughs, fevers, and fatigue!

With a child in preschool we've had our share of germs already this year and although we're all feeling pretty healthy right now, it will only be a matter of time before some more come knocking at the door.

We were recently introduced to Soothie Suckers... and at the perfect time!  How exciting to try out a new herbal supplement that just might give us that little extra support to make it through these rough months!

Disney Kids Preschool Playdate

We received free products from Walt Disney World Resort and MomSelect in order to host the Disney Kids Preschool Playdate. The opinions expressed here are my own.


To say we were honored to be asked, as part of the Disney Social Media Moms team, to host a #DisneyKids Preschool Playdate would be an understatement! We love working with our friends at Walt Disney World Resort and MomSelect and we love the focus they have on making sure that families are aware of all of the fun and practical ways that Walt Disney World meets the needs of preschoolers.

You may remember that we had a blast at our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration earlier this year so when we were invited again to have a party to share some Disney magic with our friends, we couldn't wait to start planning!
