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

Blogger is Back...Kind Of

I had never realized just how Blogger-obsessed I am until last night (and this morning) when I'd check Blogger every 5 minutes and receive the same error and apology from Google for it being under temporary maintenance. Then again, I am writing this from work (lunch break!) so I guess that says something. It seems like everything in Bloggerland is back to normal, but my post from yesterday morning isn't appearing! Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Blogger maintenance pending, stay tuned to LambAround for the next Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop! My plan is to post it tomorrow morning. See you then!

Camp Blogaway - Sleeping Arrangements (Part 2 of 2)

I promised you some hot, naked action in my last Camp Blogaway Sleeping Arrangements post ( Click here if you missed part 1 ). Okay, maybe not quite as exciting as that. Geez, can you imagine the Google results LambAround is going to come up in after this? Oops, maybe I shouldn't write "come up". There are going to be some very disappointed perverts out there. At camp, I found it difficult to fall asleep. Being cramped up inside a sleeping bag is not my style, especially when you throw in bunk beds that squeak if you so much as exhale too forcefully. Spiders, roommates, and bloggers drunk on wine, laughing it up outside the window, all decreased the likelihood of me getting any rest. Still, I tried. Traveling to LAX had made me pretty sleepy, as had the hours long drive to camp. Sleep was overtaking me. Then, a panicked thought. You see, (*TMI ALERT*) I don't do pajamas. Never have. They're great for lounging around the house, but for sleeping, I've never un

Trader Joe's Masala Simmer Sauce (How to Improve)

Yesterday's meal of Trader Joe's Masala Simmer Sauce was a big, lemony failure. I set out to jazz up the leftovers today, but half expected the entire thing to end up in the trash. Yuck, c old leftovers! Add a couple handfuls of spinach. *Nifty Tip* Storing rinsed spinach inside a Tupperware or glass container with a paper towel on the top and a paper towel on the bottom keeps it edible and slime-free for a long time. Add a few splashes of coconut milk Another "by the way" moment: I love our can opener! Not only does it leave a smooth edge around the lid so that your cooking isn't interrupted by running off to find a first aid kit, it also creates a great way to re-seal the can if you don't use the entire contents. Ta da ! With the added spinach and coconut milk, as well as some homemade "french fries", this was actually a pretty tasty meal.  If you're going to buy Trader Joe's Masala Simmer Sauce, disregard the directions
