52-Week Challenge - Week 16

How did the getting more grains challenge go for everyone?  We had a new grain in our house - quinoa.  And what yumminess it is!  Other than that, I perused our pantry and confirmed what I already knew, that we do a pretty good job of getting whole grains in our diet.  I did buy a new cereal for Ronnie to try, Post's version of Honey Bunches of Oats, and I picked Fruity Cheerios over Froot Loops for the kids due to the sticker.  So yeah, all is good, but of course it could always be better. 

On to this week, which is all about having a good laugh.  I love the way I feel after I've had a belly-aching laugh.  It's almost as if I've run 5 miles or gotten a good nap in. 

There is all sorts of upsides to laughter including stress reduction, blah blah blah.  But really, it's just fun to laugh. 

I dare you to try not to laugh or giggle or break a smile

So, get a good laugh in this week.  The kind that leaves your sides hurting and you out of breath.  Even better if you are crying afterwards :)
