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

Too Soon to Prepare for Thanksgiving?

I might throw a dinner party just so I can use this centerpiece: I would invite my no-nonsense, everything-must-be-just-so mum and be sure that she sits directly in front of this! Who knew that Martha Stewart had such a fun sense of humor? Does anyone else have any quirky decorating ideas to share? I'd love to hear them!

The Office is on Fire!

I was all set to post about how completely filthy Sexy Nerd's office is, but noticed an even more disturbing problem while taking photos. See if you spot it: Although mailbox-decor does strike me as kinda odd, it's not the mailbox itself I'm referring to. Noticing a pattern here yet?  Sexy Nerd made that silver thingy back in school. What is it? No clue. You may think the unusual thing is putting your hats next to a bag of garbage (ummm...is that sanitary?) but there's more to this photo than just a poor storage choice. Do all grown men collect Hot Wheels? Is this normal?? It's not the point I'm trying to make, but I would love to know. Love the paint job? If I didn't know Sexy Nerd better, I'd swear he was flaming (HA! My only cheesy/stupid joke of the week, I promise!)

Sweet Carrot Pancakes with Marshmallow Creme Recipe

Despite all the carrots, I wouldn't exactly call this recipe healthy. It sure is yummy though! This would be a fun breakfast to have on Easter or to serve to company at a spring brunch. First, shred approximately 5 carrots in a food processor. You should end up with 2 cups of shredded carrot . Put this into a large bowl. Mix in 1 egg, 1 cup of milk , (any kind will work) 1 Tbs of vanilla, 2 Tbs of apple sauce , and 1/4 of a cup of brown sugar . In fact, add a little less than 1/4 of a cup. These are going to be sweet enough without going crazy with sugar, (I assure you that this is the only time I will ever, EVER say not to go crazy with sugar!) Back to your food processor. Use it to finely chop 8-10 macadamia nuts . No macadamia nuts? Sounds like it's time for a visit to Hawaii. Until then though, other nuts, like walnuts or pecans, should work just fine. Mix the chopped nuts in with the other ingredients. Now it's time to add some dry ingredients. Mix in 2 ts
