Honey Child: Ace of Cupcakes

My son is turning 3 years old, and we are having his party at this awesome place called Jungle Java . It is a sort of cafe/playscape...where the adults get to sit and relax with a latte and chicken wrap while the kids play on the huge jungle themed playscape (see insert photo).

Anyhow, I have a great recipe for White Chocolate Cupcakes and I wanted to make the cupcakes jungle themed for the kids enjoyment.
Since I usually make goodie bags and all sorts of things, and I wasn't doing that this year, I decided to make the cupcakes extra special.
I located a site Fancy Flours which specializes in cake decorations and such.
There, I found these special cupcake liners and sugar decorations that will make my son's birthday that much more personalized and fun...

FITNESS

TAE BO



Let me start by saying, that I once had a perfectly toned stomach, thighs, and arms doing this ONE video 5 days a week. I spent about 40 minutes, per day, taking time out for myself and I achieved in about three months, the body that I had always wanted. So if I just get off my bottom, I could have that body again, even after a rough and rugged pregnancy and child birth. That said...Tae Bo is a fantastic way to lose inches, burn fat, and tone your body...you get the effects of a cardio workout and strength training all at once, so there is no need to separate the two. You will have increased flexibility, tons of energy, and a great body. Try it...it is at your own pace, and no matter what anyone says, you feel like Billy Blanks is right there in your home with you, pushing and encouraging you! GREAT WORKOUT!
