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

Missing University of Chicago Student: Austin Hudson-LaPore

Missing University of Chicago Student: Austin Hudson-LaPore (PLEASE share this and help get the word out!) He's a brilliant and kind kid from Albuquerque, NM. There's no way he was involved in drugs or anything else. Everyone here at home is just devastated. We've contacted everyone we can think of, from our local politicians to the authorities in Illinois. The media has been mostly ignoring his story, but if we can generate enough interest, they will have to pay attention! Sharing Austin's story does make a difference . Here is part of a conversation between me and Austin's dad: Give our best to Dan and Rachelle and have them do their best to spread the word on Austin's disappearance via Facebook or any email lists they might have. The publicity is getting lots of resources mobilized for us. Just recently, a canine tracker joined the search at no charge. The media exposure is also resulting in more involvement from the Chicago police. ww

Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies

I use boxed cake mix to whip up Cake Mix Cookie Bars, Cake Mix Pudding , Cake Mix Pancakes - just about everything except a Cake Mix Cake! There's no bad time for a chocolate chip cookie. A hearty bowl of oatmeal, mug of coffee, and a side of chocolate chip cookies? What a great way to start the day. Unfortunately, chocolate chip cookies are time consuming and kind of a pain to make, especially when you just want to eat the cookies right this instant. So, you try to save time and effort by baking a batch of cookie bars, but they often end up tasting more like cake or brownies. Cookie bars don't really taste like cookies, do they? Until now! Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies Cake Mix Cookie Bars Quick and easy! 1 15.25 oz Box Cake Mix (I usually use Yellow, White, or Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix - a relief after you saw that neon photo above, right?) 1 Egg 1/3 C Vegetable Oil, Olive Oil, or Coconut Oil 1/3 C Milk (I've made these with everything from skim t

Those Crazy New Mexico Drivers

On Saturday, my mom, aunt Jackie, and I spent the day in Santa Fe. We shopped, enjoyed a top-notch happy hour at Zia Diner, and strolled around the plaza. The highlight of our day, however, had to be the car I parked near (but not too near!) when we dropped my aunt off at the Buffalo Thunder Resort. The car is resting on top of the concrete barrier. How does someone do this?? They took the time to put up the sun shade! My mom took this photo of me. I was going for a look of amusement, but didn't quite nail it. I blame my braces for giving me a toothless, old lady smile. And, yes, that is a coffee and a Diet Coke. I needed some caffeine for my long drive back to Albuquerque. They're both complimentary at the casino, so why choose?
