Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia  (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life.

You don't think we would actually take a bath with everything in the room destroy

Bathroom Inspiration

Sexy Nerd and I are still trying to decide how we want out remodeled bathroom to look.

An all-white floor would be even better. The link to the blog where I found this photo is here . *Update* Our bathroom remodel is nearly done! Click here for photos.

Instant Hot Water Dispenser

How did I ever live without this? It's perfect for making tea. And if you're like my friend Paris, who claims this is a waste of money because it only takes a minute to heat water for tea in the microwave, I say to you PHOOEY!
