    Holiday Giveaway from Custom Comfort Mattress!

    December 26, 2015 /

        I think sleep is right up there with my all-time favorite things to do!  This might be because I suffered from pretty bad insomnia in my twenties and early thirties and know what it is like to be sleep-deprived.  Heck, I think just about every parent on the planet knows what is like to feel sleep-deprived.  Those first couple months with a newborn is pretty rough don’t you think?!  Whenever I hear a friend has a newborn I think to myself that they are in the trenches… Part of getting a good night sleep is having a comfortable mattress and bedding.  Well,  Custom Comfort Mattress is celebrating this…

    Cancer Treatment Centers of America Provide a Whole-Body Approach

    December 22, 2015 /

          Hearing that you or a loved one has cancer is one of the most difficult and frightening things to hear and go through.  When my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer many years ago it took a lot out of her and our family.  It was one of the most difficult things we went through and I am so thankful she fought and won her battle with cancer. The treatment plans and options available today have changed quite a bit from 15 years ago and I was really happy to learn about the Cancer Treatment Centers of America that offer individual and personalized treatment plans for their patients.  My mother didn’t…
