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

Awkward. So Very, Very Awkward

Working in a children’s dental office, I’m often forced into an uncomfortable front-row seat for spouse bashing. The other day, a mom and dad were trying to schedule a filling for their 2 year old. I suggested a possible appointment time. Dad mentioned to mom that he thought she had something else scheduled already. So what did she reply to him with, exactly? Mom: Let’s look in my planner so we can remind your TINY, EMPTY BRAIN what’s going on. I so did not want to suggest any more appointment times to these people. And, of course, their 2 year old was standing right there!  You just go right ahead and keep arguing in front of me. You're blogging gold, my friends. Later, both parents jokingly asked if they could just leave their child at the office and pick her up at her next 6 month check up. I was awfully temped to say yes!

GIVEAWAY (2 Winners!) and Blog Hop

*Update* This giveaway has ended. Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter! This week's blog hop is sponsored by Everest Nutrition Krill Oil . You know you should be taking a daily fish oil supplement (come on, now. You know it's true!) Unsure about which one to buy? Sexy Nerd and I have tried many different brands over the years. We really like Everest Nutrition Krill Oil because it comes from tiny crustaceans living in Antarctica, meaning they are more pure (less BPA - super important for a gal like me who has ' baby madness '!) than competing brands. Bonus? No yucky fish burps! I have been taking an Everest Nutrition Krill Oil pill daily for the past 2 months and can give them a glowing review. Although it isn't one of the benefits Krill Oil focuses on, I think these pills have improved my hair, skin, and nails. I plan to continue purchasing this brand in the future. You can read about lots of other health benefits on their site, KrillOil.com .

Those Lousy Republicans

Sexy Nerd, frustrated by the many smoke detector false alarms in our home, has been suggesting I buy a deep fryer. I was reading reviews on Amazon to find just the right one, when I came across the Presto 06006 Kitchen Kettle Electric Multi-Cooker and Fryer . It can be used as a fryer and a steamer, in a sort of dietary yin yang. Score! As a surprise bonus, someone had written the following...err...helpful review: "Very handy as it does a lot of different things well and doesn't take lots of precious kitchen space, not like republicans in washington." WHAT?! I was on the fence before, but now they're hogging all the space in my kitchen? Geez.
