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

Tucson: Reid Park Zoo and Winterhaven Festival of Lights

Sexy Nerd and I visited my family in Tucson for Christmas (remember the airport frisking I received? Good times.) I blogged about Christmas day, but was a bit lazy about the rest. When you think about it, January 17th is really pretty close to December 26th. The Plan: Everyone meet for breakfast, then head next door to the Reid Park Zoo with my cousin, her husband, and their 2 kids The Reality: The restaurant that we drove across town to eat at was closed. No biggie. Sexy Nerd and I love McDonalds breakfast burritos (and I love Cinnamelts! Oooh, the ooey gooeyness!) Change in Plans: Follow my aunt and uncle's car.

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
