Your pillow is just as important as your mattress when chasing that perfect night's sleep.  If you have headaches, neck pains, shoulder pains, numbness, sneezing, snoring or wheezing when you wake up, your pillow may not be causing the problem, but it is likely contributing.   

I've been nickle and dime-ing my bedroom for years, chasing an image of the perfect, snuggly sleeping chamber.  A dark shade here, a humidifier there, wave sounds, soothing colors... but a recent lower back problem pushed me to take a comprehensive look at the bed itself.   Needless to say, I have a new bed . . . and mattress. . . pillows . . . and, okay, well, pretty much everything.  Hey, don't we spend, like, a third of our lives in bed?  So, anyway.

One thing I know for sure about resolutions is that they don't work unless you do two things first: 

I hope you have the best Christmas ever, ever, ever!  And if you're not celebrating Christmas, I hope today is still among your best.

Without a doubt the best part about the holiday season, for me, is the food.   In fact, I  feel sorry for people who don't love food as much as I do.  I am totally serious.  It's my #1 passion.  I'm happiest when I'm planning, shopping and cooking a meal for a whole bunch of people.  Todd and I are having 16 for Christmas dinner and I can hardly concentrate, I'm so excited.

There are a lot of reasons you could become stranded on the road - running out of gas, a dead battery, a flat tire, getting stuck in the mud or snow, bad weather, losing your keys or mechanical failures to name a few.

Cold weather is hard on cars.  It makes things that you thought were just fine stop working, break, snap or  freeze up.  I'm worried that some people haven't formally gone through the checklist to make sure their vehicle is ready.  

It would be great to know what you think we should add to the site.
