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

What Killed Our Cherry Tree?

Sexy Nerd and I seem doomed to lose a tree in our backyard every summer. Here is our yard two summers ago: See that big, beautiful ash tree? The focal point of our yard? Don't get too attached to it. Here is our yard last summer: No ash tree. Just the neighbors ridiculously close house, perhaps placed at an angle so it could be as close as possible. Lush green (fake) lawn though! Once we'd realized the tree was infested with ash borers, it was too late. It was a sad loss, but we moved on, planting sticks in its place that will one day (Sexy Nerd insists) grow tall enough to block the neighbor's windows. This summer was going to be better! Just look at all the cherries we got from our 2 cherry trees: So much cherry goodness! My mom is going to be so mad when she sees I posted photos online with my house a mess! Do you know where I'm going with this? If you have a cherry tree, you may not want to finish reading this post. It gets pretty scary

200 Follower Link Party!

Have you heard? LambAround has topped 200 followers! WOO HOO HOO! My little blog has come a long way since those days when I wasn't sure why to bother blogging at all. To celebrate, I'm having a party, blog style. You're invited! I won't try to sell you Tupperware or Longaberger Baskets or Mary Kay cosmetics (though, admittedly I may try to get $10 by signing you up for Groupon ). This is going to be much better than the last party I promised you, which I was totally robbed of! Put on your dorkiest hat. It's party time! And, FYI, that is a ginormous ball of deep-fried mozzarella on my plate. Come see my beautiful, mysterious flowers . (HA!) I'll regale you with my tales of jury duty and all the times Sexy Nerd has put his foot in his mouth . Eat some employer-donated cheesecake and deceptive salad off of my fancy schmancy Noritake Colorwave Floral Accent Plates . Everything will be delicious - as long as we don't put Sexy Nerd in charge of

Label Game - The San Diego Soap Company

This is the soap I use in both of our guest bathrooms. The bottle is pretty and it smells like honey. I like it...except for one tiny annoyance. See if you can guess what it is. So far, so good. The little beehive and lovely oranges make this bottle look adorable on my bathroom countertop. See it down there on the bottom of the label? Grrr. Am I naive for thinking that my San Diego Soap Company soap was made in San Diego? *Sigh.*

Cornbread Muffins...with Hot Dogs and Spinach!

OMG! These cornbread muffins are yummy!You know that feeling you get when you eat sooooo much? The feeling where you just want to waddle around the rest of the afternoon and do nothing but complain about how full you are? I'm there. I had the day off from work and decided to do some much needed tidying up around the house. While cleaning out the pantry, I discovered a few pouches of cornbread mix. Printed on each was Better If Used By 21NOV2009. 2009?? Not wanting to let my purchase go bad, (though, some would probably argue that it already had gone bad) I sprang into baking mode, conveniently leaving no-fun-whatsoever cleaning mode in the past. I had no intention of blogging about this, but the finished product was just too tasty not to share. Look at all that muffiny (yes, muffiny!) goodness. Pigging out on cornbread muffins isn't that bad if 9 are mini muffins, right? Really, it's like I've had just 2 muffins. By moving all the muffins out of the pans, Sexy Ner
