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

Not "Baaad" Sundays with LambAround

Welcome back for another fun Not "Baaad" Sundays with LambAround! There was an extra special Linky on Wednesday, when I was the SITS Featured Blogger (so exciting!) I visited all the blogs that linked up and even created a few awards: Here are my favorite linked posts:  Jennifer at Goats in the Garden had a post that cracked me up! How can anyone resist a blog dedicated entirely to goats? Wende at The Rickett Chronicles shared a scrumptious recipe for Banana Bread Sarah at Figuring Out Thirtysomething struck a nerve while blogging about her baby blues Shannon at North Dakota Kitchen baked a fabulous Dutch Apple Cake Raina at The Garden of Yum made a Maple Brown Sugar Apple Pie.

Lori at Thrifty Decor Mom shared her snazzy No Sew Window Treatments Penny Lane at New Adventure into Eating and Life shared her recipe for a healthy alternative to traditional macaroni and cheese Jenn at Rook No. 1

I Spent Over 6 Hours Working On This Post!

I'm so excited to see you! Today is my SITS Day and I was hoping you would be able to stop by. You do know what it means to have my SITS Day, don't you? P a a a a a r - t a y T i m e ! Welcome to my LambAround party! Let me start out by introducing myself. I’m Lamb, a newlywed who has been known to place shirts into the washing machine one color and have them come out another. My hubby, Sexy Nerd, never, ever asks me to do his laundry. My blog provides an often humorous peek into my life, with focus on my cooking and decorating attempts. If you'd like to know more, please click here . If you enjoy stories about weddings gone wrong, I promise you won't be disappointed. Our male wedding officiant, Captain Howie, showed up late, wearing a skirt, and tried to make me climb a tree branch over a fishpond while in my wedding gown! Oh, and there was a bit more to the stuffed animal in the washing machine story than the SITS site told you. Yes, I was worried about my

Digital Scrapbook Page of the Week

Here I am at my "2nd wedding", which was also to Sexy Nerd. (The first was in Hawaii so there were a lot of people who couldn't attend AKA one just wasn't enough for my mom.)  Sometimes, my best friends, Sarah (L) and Jessica (R) can be a little...odd. I've known both of them since elementary school and our friendship even survived my move from San Jose to Albuquerque at the end of 7th grade.   Fun gals!

How NOT to Make a Nascar Birthday Cake

(Or any cake, for that matter.) My cooking motto is "Patience Has No Place In My Kitchen". Allow to me demonstrate exactly what I mean. Impressed by that race car cake? Me too! But the talented blogger at The Speckled Freckle made it, not me. I knew I didn't have the attention span to make quite as elaborate a cake, but I figured that I could surely pull off a single loop cake for my Nascar fan's birthday. Surely! First, I got the cars nice and squeaky clean in my ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like sneaking into your husband's office and stealing toy cars from his display case. My plan was to make the track out of brown frosting (crushed Thin Mints and cocoa powder), use mini marshmallows to line the track, and spread green frosting everywhere else. I had been cooking all day (you did catch my Meal Plan post, right?) and quickly lost interest in my original plan.  Yeah, I kind of have a thing
