Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

  My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service    Amerisleep Mattress Reviews  We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. 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. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f

Jack Russells Are The Best Dogs

I can sum up why Jack Russell terriers are the best dogs in 3 photos. Oh, Pica! A ridiculous girl with her ridiculous dog. Yes, those are snowman socks.

World Market Italian Soda: Getting Past The Diet "Eh" Factor

Trivia question! What kind of animal is Kitchen Pig? 3... 2... 1... Did you guess "Kitchen Pig is a PIG"? Well, if you did, you're absolutely WRONG! Kitchen Pig is a PARTY ANIMAL !!!   Okay, I'll admit that was pretty lame. I can't help it though. I'm on a sugar high from drinking World Market Italian Soda. If you sign up for the World Market Explorer Rewards Program , you get a coupon for Buy One/Get One Free Italian Soda! We bought the regular Pomegranate (delicious!) and the diet Raspberry (eh, it was okay). What's my recipe for fixing the taste of the diet soda (hey, even with a coupon, it cost me $1.25!)?

Not Just For Clothes! How To Organize A Closet For Your Life

Want to make your closet an organizational superstar? If you've only been using it to store your clothes, it is underutilized. I'll start this post by admitting that I don't exactly have a tiny closet, especially now that our bedroom/bathroom renovation is nearing the end. However, I certainly don't have a ginormous closet either (it's downright tiny after I stuff all my clothes and junk in there!) and many of these tips can be applied to a small, non-walk-in closet. I don’t go into my office every day. But what does that mean for the To-Do pile on my desk and the appointments on my calendar? Well, unless I convert to a nudist lifestyle ( probably not going to happen any time in the near future), my typical day is going to include a few trips to my closet.   I don't know why I never thought to put my calendar inside my closet before! I see it before leaving the house each day, which is especially helpful if you like to check things out from the
