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

Best in Show Award Nominees

Allow me to introduce you to this week's nominees for the Best in Show award: A Law Student's Journey created this charming lamp. I saw something similar at Anthropologie recently for well over $100!   Mrs Happy Homemaker posted these Make Ahead Loaded Mashed Potatoes. Don't they look scrumptious? Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom linked up to her fascinating Ukrainian egg tutorial. Sun Scholars is ready for Easter! I've bought Peeps specifically to make this recipe. Iit's the first time I've ever bought holiday candy before it hits the clearance aisle! Musings by Lindsey has a simple How To for making a variety of silhouette artwork. Sun Hats & Wellie Boots made Ice Cream Cone Cakes! And, yes, they cooked perfectly. Congratulations, nominees! Now the real fun begins. The poll for the Best in Show award is located toward the top of the right sidebar and will run until approximately Tuesday. To help you bring in votes, here is a snazzy (yes, snazz

Oh My Goodness! I Finally Did It!

I've been putting this off since I first posted about it , continually waffling back and forth about whether or not I should attend Camp Blogaway. I finally just sat down and signed up. Oh my goodness. Did I really just sign up for camp? Am I really going to fly to California on my own? Am I really going to camp with a group of people I've never met before? Really?? I'm too excited to sleep! Excited and a bit terrified. There's so much to do! Blog camp is all about networking, right? I figure I should have some LambAround business cards made up. That alone seems so boring though. What else can I do? Airfare! I need to book my airfare! Geez, what have I gotten myself into? My palms are actually sweaty right now. This is going to be fun. Right? Alrighty, I'd better quit rambling and wrap this up (and perhaps go take an Ambien). One of my bloggy pet peeves is posts without photos, so here is a post from last week that received only one (ONE!) comment. It's a

I Must Have the Luck O' the Irish

I'm going to begin today's post with a link: http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Contemporary-Stainless-8-Quart-Stockpot/dp/B0007D6FL8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Lamb , you're thinking, why did you just have me open a link for a $150 stockpot?That's an insane price for a stockpot and I don't even care that it's Calphalon Contemporary! I agree with you 100%. Out of concern for our health, (some may argue that it's out of sheer paranoia) Sexy Nerd and I have been wanting to replace our Teflon pans (they kill pet birds!) for quite some time. We wanted a quality set, but are super cheap thrifty. Allow me to introduce you to our new set of Calphalon Contemporary pans: Yes, I know what you're thinking (or quite possibly yelling out loud). $499 for a stupid set of pans? Are you crazy?! Well, we are crazy, but in this case we're simply lucky ducks. We stopped by Bed Bath and Beyond the other day and found these pans on the clearance rack, marked down t

Bangs? Blonde??

It's time for a haircut. My mom gave me a gift certificate to go see Bridget at Salon Phoenix, who did my hair last time , and this seems like an ideal opportunity for a major change. I usually just get my hair trimmed whenever a $4.99 Great Clips coupon arrives in the mail. I hate to go to a *real* hair salon and not go all out. So, what should I have done? I'm leaning toward those long, thick Katy Perry/Zoey Deschanel bangs. My hair grows quickly though, so the maintenance might just drive me crazy. What should I do? My bloggy friends, the decision is in your hands*! This is how my hair looks right now, only a bit longer. Yes, I'm rocking a Halloween vest! *Unless you make a terrible decision. Sorry, there will be no purple streaks for me.
