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 Linky Party

The linky is at the bottom of this post. First up, though, are this week's Best in Show Award nominees. Geez, you guys make it hard to choose! There were some very talented bloggers linked up last week! Modern Country Style shared a hodgepodge of gorgeous home photos and project ideas, including these charming framed postcards from the 1930s. Tales of Fruit and Cake shared her hilarious (well, probably not to her) story about getting locked in. Sneak peek: the last resort of peeing out the window does come up. You might want to skip this one if you're on a diet. Simply Sweet Home posted her favorite, drool-inducing recipes. All 12 of them look scrumptious, but I especially love these Homemade Samoa Cookies! Etcetorize made this cute hat herself! There is a detailed tutorial, including videos, so that you can make a hat of your own. Wrapping up 2010, Fuzzy Slippers Designs posted her top 5 (6!) posts of the year. DIY by Design posted photos of her daughter's bed

As mentioned before, Sexy Nerd gets up insanely early every day. By the time I get up, he's been at work over an hour (and, personally, I think I have to get up waaaay too early!) When I came downstairs the other morning, there was a doggy-related message waiting for me on our chalkboard door. Click the image to enlarge Where's the "All of the Above" option?

Anniversary Ideas

Monday was me and my Sexy Nerd's anniversary. We've been married 3 whole years! And, since our wedding was on the 4 year anniversary of our first date, we've been together a whopping 7 years! Crazy. I'd been brainstorming anniversary ideas and came up with some good ones. After Sexy Nerd went to bed on Sunday night, I got started decorating. I rescued this banner from the trash pile when cleaning my boss's house last week. Have I mentioned that I work in a dental office? That's a blog post for another day.   What a fun surprise when you come downstairs!    Sexy Nerd gets up ridiculously early for work. I made him a batch of breakfast burritos to heat up in the morning and pre-filled the coffee maker for him. (Click image to enlarge)   I framed a group of photos for him, including this collage. It features a note from the back of a photo he mailed to me back when we first started dating, when he was living in Michigan. Ta da! Next on my agenda was a litt
