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

Late to the Party

Hey, guess what? Go to www.KittyDeschanel.com. After years and years of blogging, I finally have my very own custom domain name! It wasn't as expensive as I thought (hooray for online coupon codes!) and it was easy to do. Well...eventually it was easy. Funny enough, since Monday I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to make my old site and new site work together. Then, reading the exact same instructions I've read a dozen times, this morning it seemed as clear as glass and it actually worked. Well...almost. For some reason, www.KittyDeschanel.com is working but KittyDeschanel.com is not, even though my Blogger setting specifically states that this should work. *grumble* Here's to hoping the magical internet fairies fix this little snag while I'm at work today. Have a great Friday, my bloggy friends! *Update* I was hoping to type "Update - the fairies have worked their magic and my website is fixed. Thank you, fairies!" at the e

Baby (Lion) Madness

Recently, I had the opportunity to choose any costume I wanted from Wholesale Costume Club . We dress up for Halloween at work, so I was looking forward to knocking everyone's socks off this year. I searched and searched through their selection... ...and settled on this:  The baby madness. I haz it.

Easter Bunny Donuts (& Blog Hop)

Yesterday, I was finally able to use the Easter shapes pan that I found post-holiday at Target last year. It imprints your baked treats with shapes, like the Easter Bunny, and Easter basket, and a decorated Easter egg. At least, it is supposed to. As you may have seen on the LambAround Pinterest boards yesterday, I baked up a batch of Strawberry-Buttermilk Baked Doughnuts , which were featured in last month's Oprah magazine. Tasty stuff! I substituted a mixture of soy/almond milk for the buttermilk (all out) and used lemon instead of strawberry. Half my batter went into my Easter pan and the other half was allotted to my mini doughnut pan. (Sexy Nerd, BTW, thinks it's ridiculous that we own such a thing. This is from the fellow with a lathe in our garage, which he purchased for making models of nuclear bombs . Yeah.) Can you see the Easter Bunny? It's a cute idea, but I'm unimpressed. Has anyone else had success with these fancy specialty imprinting pans? Am I doing i
