Why I Love My Tempurpedic Bed

by Maggie on May 17, 2012

Tempurpedic Bed

Right after my husband and I got married, we decided it was time for us to get a new mattress. The mattress we had was causing me some serious back pain. I woke up every morning sore, stiff, and tired. I knew we were trying to get pregnant and there was no way I was going to suffer through my pregnancy in that bed.

So we took our wedding money and went shopping. We knew we were going to upgrade to a king and after lots of research, we decided to buy the Tempurpedic bed. Let me tell you, that was the best decision ever! 

The first night I laid down in that bed and it just enveloped me. I slept so comfortably and woke up the next morning pain free and refreshed! I was impressed. A month later I was pregnant.

I thought I would have to buy a body pillow to help support my belly but thanks to my tempurpedic bed, I didn’t need one. As my belly grew, I would sink down enough that my belly was supported by the bed. I was sleeping comfortably through my entire pregnancy.

Let me just say that six and a half years later, my tempurpedic bed is still extremely comfortable. I do not regret my decision buying this mattress. I can honestly say that I love my tempurpedic bed. I love it so much that I bought my daughter one when she turned three.

Mighty Fine Movie Review

Recently I had the pleasure of seeing an advanced screening of the movie “Mighty Fine”. This is an indie film starring Chazz Palminteri, Andie MacDowell, Rainey Qualley, and Jodelle Ferland that comes out in select theaters on May 25.

Set in the 70′s, it is the story of Joe Fine (Chazz Palminteri) a charismatic, high-spirited man, who relocates his family–wife Stella (Andie MacDowell), a Holocaust survivor, daughters Nathalie (Jodelle Ferland) and Maddie (Rainey Qualley)–from Brooklyn to New Orleans, in search of a better life. Unfortunately, Joe’s spending spree is wildly out of touch with reality, as his apparel business is teetering on the brink of collapse, a fact he refuses to accept. When he is faced with failure, his insecurities flare up and make him act out in crazy ways, almost like a child having a tantrum. When Joe is feeling rich there’s nothing he won’t do for his family, but when he’s feeling poor and trapped by the prospect of failure, he becomes a caged animal, any slight against him is responded to reflexively and aggressively.

This movie was amazing. The entire movie is about how Joe’s increasing rage issues take a toll on the family. Some people say that he was bipolar but that is never mentioned in the movie. I feel that people should not jump to conclusions when it comes to that. I feel that he is just a man that doesn’t know how to cope with the stresses of life in any other way so when he gets angry at his life, he takes it out on his family. The best part of this movie is just when you think the family has been torn apart, they pull together.

I feel this movie portrays a family that truly loves each other and has such a strong bond that no matter how bad things got, they pulled together and took care of their family. I would highly recommend seeing this movie. Check out the movie on the “Mighty Fine” site, the “Mighty Fine” facebook page, and the trailer below.

After the movie, we had a chance to do a Q&A via video chat with Rainey Qualley and Chazz Palminteri. That was such a nice surprise and it was so nice to hear what their thoughts were about the story. Check out the screenshots of them from the Q&A session below.
