Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!

I have been hearing about chia seeds for a while now as they seem to be a hot topic on many health and food blogs (KathEats is always sprinkling them on something).  They sounded intriguing but I had never seen them available in a store until this week when I spotted them at Sunflower Market.  They were in one of the bulk bins and on sale for $3.99 a pound.…

5000 Lunges Dominated!

For everyone who has been following my journey to do 5000 lunges in 80 days to raise money for Multiple Myeloma research, I wanted to let you know that I did it!  Jeff, the kids and I set out tonight with the jogging stroller, and we finished the final 300 lunges.  Then I did 100 more because I believe in Todd Durkin‘s mantra “And then some.”  I will have a…
