Sweet Dreams! Getting Good Sleep on a Nectar Sleep Mattress

Sleep…we all need it but for some of us, getting good sleep is more work than it ought to be. With the stressful lifestyles most of us live, long gone are the days of flopping onto the bed, pulling up the covers and instantly entering dreamland. Even my teenage son, who plays football and works out at the gym daily, doesn’t sleep as easily and as peacefully as he used to. Many times we blame our activity, but sometimes we have to look at the obvious: is our mattress helping or hurting our sleep?

We buy new cars every few years, buy new clothes every season and rotate our tires, but we often forget that our mattress gets used daily and needs attention, too. Even if your current mattress isn’t sloped or showing signs of wear and tear, chances are it is if you’ve had it for any length of time. If you aren’t getting good sleep most nights of the week, be sure to check out your mattress while you’re also examining possible issues with your schedule or health that could be negatively impacting your sleep.

Nectar Sleep sent me a complimentary mattress in exchange for sharing this post with you. I can tell you our personal experience and give you a short video on what set-up looks like, as well as the first ahhhh of laying on the memory foam.

We have pretty high standards for a mattress and we knew Nectar Sleep wouldn’t let us down. (That’s an affiliate link, fyi!) Nectar’s mattresses are stated as amongst the comfiest out there, and they come with a Full Comfort Guarantee and Forever Warranty. Don’t like it? Let them know and they’ll take it back. How often do you hear of that?

If you need help with the installation, they’ll even do that for you, but as you’ll see in my brief video a little bit below, I think you’ll be surprised at how easy it is. Ours came looking like the photo below, in a column-shaped canvas bag; it’s heavy but we rolled it into the house without needing more than one set of arms. You can see it’s the width of the mattress, which is the size I requested as my son needed a new mattress. (And that’s his messy room behind the mattress to the right.)

Inside that blue delivery bag is a grey duffel bag that holds the mattress and its set of instructions. If need be, you can carry the mattress with those straps in that bag.

You literally unzip the bag, remove an external protective plastic bag — with this handy little tool they’ve enclosed. We started to use scissors at first, but this tool really makes it much safer to not catch the actual mattress cover when you remove the plastic.

Roll the mattress flat and as it expands to full size, remove the other protective plastic bag, again with the tool. Poof, literally. It expanded to almost full size within seconds and will continue over the next couple of days. (My son’s bed is a raised bed above a desk, so getting any video of installation up there would have been possibly dangerous, not good for a video showing you how to do it!)

The bed sets up on your existing foundation, frame or flat on the floor. No need to buy any further equipment, though Nectar Sleep does sell those if you want. We already had a bed frame so we didn’t need anything else. It even came with two pillows!

The mattress is considered semi-firm to firm, and is covered with a lush foam, wrap and breathable, removable cover. You get the comfort of a pillow top but with the firmness of a mattress, and the top layer stimulates air flow to help keep you cool. See how fast the memory foam cradles my hand but then fills back up after I remove it?

Nectar Sleep even did a study, which showed that Nectar sleepers fell asleep 20% faster than those of other mattresses. I’ll take those odds!

Nectar even offers a 365-day sleep trial, so if you don’t like it, you’re not locked in forever — less than 3% of buyers return their mattress. With Nectar Sleep prices, getting good sleep is also more affordable than most other memory foam mattresses!

My son reported back that the mattress did indeed give him a good night’s rest, no odor and complete comfort all night long! Tired teens are a bear, so thanks, Nectar Sleep, for the gift of a good night’s sleep for an active teenager!

    That looks like it sets up way easier than I would have expected! I need to get a new Queen mattress for one of my kids and I hate the prices of most mattresses. This is something I can afford!

A good, quality olive oil is critical when making A good, quality olive oil is critical when making and serving any kind of bread, so when I made this roasted garlic artisan no-knead bread, I was excited that Garcia de la Cruz had sent me these beautiful bottles a couple of weeks ago. And those olives! One is stuffed with manchego cheese, the other bottle with pimento. They went perfectly with the bread as an easy app with a glass of wine on a lazy evening watching Christmas movies. 

Making artisan bread is a lot easier than it looks, and once you have the basic dough down, it’s fun to get creative and put in some extras. Roasting a whole head of garlic will have your house smelling like a fancy Italian restaurant, and those individual cloves are easily squeezed out — to be spread on bread, mixed in with pasta, the choices are endless…as long as you love garlic, because it can be pretty potent. I even throw them in with a pan of roasted vegetables and chicken thighs. Such an easy dinner.

Give Garcia de la Cruz products a try! They are available on Amazon and currently there’s a seasonal flavor collection available. We’ll go through these two bottles pretty quickly — I love to dip bread and could do it in place of dinner, no questions asked. You’ll love the flavor and what it does for your food!

Me and the big guy! Thank you, Disneyland, for a m Me and the big guy! Thank you, Disneyland, for a merry and magical day visiting the parks! See you again soon, Mickey!

With Thanksgiving in the rear view, Christmas seas With Thanksgiving in the rear view, Christmas season is officially here. I can’t get enough of the castle. I have maxed out my Magic Key reservations during the season so I can fit in as much Disney magic as possible. Now I just have to hope for no rain next week, last week’s visit was cold and rainy and the new treehouse was closed for safety reasons…but the castle was still beautiful! 

To answer the question that inevitably gets asked: no, no one is ever too old for Disneyland and it’s not just for kids. I grew up going to the park, after having moved to California as a teen (from NY) and my kids grew up with passes too. It’s a part of my life that makes me happy, and life is too short to not do all the things you enjoy. I’m taking the grandbabies in January and I cannot wait! 

Merry Christmas! 🤣🤣

Hosting a party that you want your guests to remem Hosting a party that you want your guests to remember forever? Try a Christmas Vacation aka Griswold Christmas party! This infamous scene with Clark and Cousin Eddie is just one recreation from our favorite Christmas movie ever. What else did we recreate?

The squirrel in the tree
A <moving> cat in a box
The ladder with a sleeve hanging from the side of the house
Aunt Bethany’s Jell-o mold with cat food
Punch bowl of egg nog and moose mugs
A dry turkey that caves in

Aaaaand….later in the evening…the shape of Aunt Bethany’s cat on the floor.

We’ve hosted this party many times over the years, each year with added costume contest and added fun — like quotes placed all around the house to remind people to have the  hap-hap-happiest Christmas. The link to our blog post with all the tips is in the bio above!

“Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah.”

The Christmas tree is up at Victoria Gardens here The Christmas tree is up at Victoria Gardens here in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and I’m so ready for the holidays! We’ve been regulars at this outdoor shopping mall since it initially opened, and all four of our kids took photos with the Santa here until they were too big to admit to still believing in Santa. 

Snowfall happens on Friday and Saturday nights at 7pm, the train takes kids for a ride around the tree, and Santa reservations can be made by visiting the VG website. Santa even takes photos with pets! <Yes, I AM making reservations for Shuri and Lady Sif to see the big guy.>

Let the holiday shopping season begin!

Wine lovers — new to wine, continuously learning Wine lovers — new to wine, continuously learning about wine or collectors — have you tried Madeira wine from Portugal lately? I had the absolute pleasure of being invited to attend the Madeira Wine Experience Los Angeles 2023, an all-day press and industry event held at the Maybourne Beverly Hills. The event consisted of seminars from industry experts, including Eugenio Jardim (Sommelier and Wines of Portugal brand ambassador), Camron Robertson (General Manager of the popular bar, Thunderbolt LA) and major wine producers from the beautiful island of Madeira. I learned about Madeira wine pairing and how to make cocktails with Madeira, two topics I knew little about, and in-between, we enjoyed the wine tasting, cocktails and buffets. I’ve covered it all in-depth over on the blog, which you can find in my bio. Go check it out! My goal is to help make wine verbiage and knowledge easy to learn and accessible to everyone. Wine tasting and purchasing can be intimidating, but it doesn’t need to be! Wine should be enjoyable and fun for everyone! Swipe to see some pics and video of the day!
