Hello Friday! I am so ready for the weekend! There are so many illnesses going around and my son wasn’t feeling great yesterday afternoon, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’s not getting sick! Here are five from this week:

1. LUMAGICA– Sunday night we were hosted at LUMAGICA: An Enchanted Forest. It was such a beautiful, holiday lights experience that we got to enjoy as a family.

2. Reading – This week I finished reading All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox. It was an okay holiday romance read.

3. Cooking – The menu this week included Spicy Peanut Tofu Bowls, Farmers Market Enchiladas with Mexican Rice, Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Spinach Ravioli and Breakfast Hash. 

4. Cheesecake Factory – Saturday we took a family trip to the Palisades Center Mall. My daughter needed a dress for a Sweet Sixteen Party that she’s going to this weekend. Windsor has affordable special occasion dresses for teens. While we were there we enjoyed an early dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We were so stuffed that we brought home a piece of Mango Key Lime Cheesecake to share. It was really good and we discovered in the future we will need at least two pieces of cheesecake!

5. Gong Cha – Gong Cha recently opened at the Palisades Center Mall. My kids love bubble tea so they picked out a Mango slushee with popping mango bubbles to share. I had a sip and it was really good! 

6. Bath & Body Works Candle – I recently bought this Fresh Balsam candle from Bath & Body Works. This smells just like a fresh cut Christmas tree! 

 ICYMI this week ok the blog: 

  Tuesday I posted about LUMAGICA: An Echanted Forest.

Sharing with Friday Favorites!  Have a great weekend!

  1. That tree is so cool and your food looks amazing! Happy Weekend!

  2. We always bring home slices of cheesecake whenever we eat at the Cheesecake Factory; their cheesecakes are so good!

  3. Ooh, the enchanted forest looks so cool! The line at the Cheesecake Factory at the big mall near us is always bananas, so when we would go to the mall in college, we’d get cheesecake to go. I distinctly remember sitting in the dorm hallway eating it straight from the container, haha, SO GOOD.

  4. The cheesecake looks so good! I really like bubble tea but I don’t drink it very often. Yesterday I tried a green tea latte and I can’t stop thinking about it!
