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

Link Up! Not Baaad Blog Hop

Good morning, everyone! I'm actually scheduling this post on Friday, as I head out the door (literally - I'm a major procrastinator) on my way to CAMP BLOGAWAY (woo hoo hoo!!) No time for any Best in Show nominees this week, but I have something big planned, so no worries. Instead, let's recap the top 3 posts from this week: #1 Post: Unique Baby Name #2 Post: Baby Madness? #3 Post: More Fun with Nuke All 3 posts are baby-related! Geez, let's hope Camp Blogaway can cure me of my baby fever. Maybe we just need to get a puppy. Sweet, puppy Nuke (a Jack Russell, obviously)(if you've owned one, you know exactly what I mean!) Now, let's get to blog hopping. THE RULES (so serious!) Please link directly to your post, not just your general blog, and include a post-related photo. You don't want to be the grump at the party who doesn't mingle, so please visit at least two other party guests and let them know you found them through LambAround. I saw a lot o

More Fun with Nuke

Remember Nuke the baby? ( Click here if you missed it )(Ooh, and click if you didn't read the comments! There are some hilarious ones!) Sadly, Sexy Nerd's nuclear weapon obsession doesn't end with our imaginary baby. What is it with guys and weapons? He came home from work the other day completely psyched up about the cool models he'd purchased. Carefully, he peeled back a layer of bubble wrap and displayed, quite proudly, what looked like a paper towel roll that someone had attached bits of paper to and spray painted silver (okay, maybe not quite like that, but pretty darn close!) "It's an actual model of a nuclear bomb," he exclaimed! Then, he unwrapped the other. He had actually purchased 2 of these bizarre stainless steel paperweights. Apparently, they were both different designs. They looked almost identical, at least close enough to make do with only 1 model, but Sexy Nerd says there are "big differences". "Don't get mad,&q

Irked at My Computer

My laptop is on life support. I've been getting a wacky message every time I turn it on (which is often, as it looooves to be restarted) saying that 'As an APP cannot run' (what the heck is that?!) and about once a minute my virus software pops up with a little announcement that it has blocked an intrusion attempt. Several system scans later, which all found no problems, I decided to dig out the CDs that came with my laptop 5 years ago. I'm back to the factory settings now, sans internet, and am writing this blog post from my computer at work. It's my lunch break. Really! And, of course, Sexy Nerd won't let me use his laptop since I broke mine.  Enjoy my Peeps the other day? Maybe this little punk took down my computer from the inside.

Baby Madness?

Sexy Nerd and I drove up to Colorado recently to visit his family. While there, we looked forward to/dreaded meeting our brand-new niece, Aria. Confused? Sexy Nerd and I have decided that our best strategy is to be on the "2 year plan" for having a baby. Technically, there are only 20 months left on our timeline, but calling it anything shorter than 2 years freaks me out!  There are just so many things to learn and prepare for before having a baby. I've already memorized Dr. Karp's 5 Techniques for calming babies and am currently reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. (Surprisingly, this book also offers insight into my own lifetime of poor sleep .)  No, I cannot delay my research, Sexy Nerd. It doesn't do you any good to read a life-changing piece of advice for 5 month olds when your baby is 6 months old, right? By then, you've already screwed them up, leaving them destined for a life of drugs, crime, and never moving out of the house! Sexy Ne
