Duct Tape Project!!!

This morning I had 5 extra minutes. So I decided to spice up my daughters science folder. I found some colorful duct tape at the 99 cent store. I bought a leopard print and a zebra hot pink and black print. It took no time and makes her feel so special. Perfect combo for me!!! The best part about this project is my middle school pre-teen son asked if I could go buy some "boy" colors today and do his.  Check it out! 

Folder and your choice of tape 

 Like I said I had 5 minute so I didn't do a very complex design. I just laid an X down and use an x acto knife or scissors to cut the edges. 

Then uses a bronze sharpie to label the folder. 

Enjoy

La Tuna Canyon

I was introduced to a new canyon last week. We always hike/run Fryman canyon and Runyon canyon. Both of those canyons are a bit crowded and have tons of dogs. So when running both of these things become hazards. When I was taken to La Tuna canyon, I was very pleased to find the trails are very wide, the inclines are smooth and gradual, and it's such a long trail you rarely see people. The people that you do see, are very friendly. The best part of La Tuna Canyon is the view. Absolutely breathtaking! On one side you can see San Gabriel Valley. After you hike about 3 miles up you can see all of San Fernando Valley, LA, and on a clear day the Ocean. 

The view 2 mile up (San Gabriel Valley) Lacresenta, La Canada, Pasadena

The tall building in this picture is Downtown LA

It took us about an hour and 20 min to walk up to the top. We ran down in about 40 min. My husband and I are training for our 2nd Tough Mudder run. So the long distance run was good for us. 

This is now my favorite canyon to run.

Ice cream cone cupcakes

Ice cream cone cupcakes were a hit at my super bowl party. I thought it was a cute dessert for the kids, turns out everyone loves them. They were so easy to make.

Cake mix (from scratch or box)

Icing 

I always have my little helper.....

 

Fill the cones up half way. To the first line. They will rise to the top. 

Bake for 20-25 min at 350. 

Let them cool.... Then frost them. 

Super easy, very quick and the kids will love then.
