Dream Home, First Floor!

I have been working on a blue print for my dream home in my spare time. When I say dream home, I don't mean a nice little 2 bedroom ranch, or 3 bedroom Victorian home with a white picket fence and a well manicured 1/2 acre lot. I would be perfectly happy with either of the above listed homes, but I'm talking DREAM HOUSE. I'm not exactly sure what the qualification are to say something as more than a house, but I'm guessing this is more of a mansion.

I have been playing with if for a few weeks now and am in love with is. Here is the first floor.

The first floor features:

• 3 car attached garage
• 1 car garage attach to breeze way
• Workshop
• Formal dining room
• Laundry room
• Mud room
• Kitchen
• Living room
• Breakfast nook
• Toy room
• Nursery
• Master bedroom
• Master bathroom 
• Master sitting room with private entry
• Walk in closet off master bathroom
• Music room/sitting room
• Library
• Powder room
• Full bath
• Exercise room with direct access to Master Bedroom
• Office
• Walk in Pantry
• 4 Closets (not including the Master bedroom and nursery ones)
• 2 sun rooms
• Attached Greenhouse
• Large back deck with entry into Master bedroom, toy room and living room
• Fish tank built into wall
• Secret door from master sitting room into library
• Large covered porch in front of house

I can't get enough of this plan. As if this weren't already enough house, it also has a full second floor and a walk-out fully finished basement.

Keep checking back because I will post the basement and second floor pictures in the next few weeks. I would love to hear from you if this is your dream plan too. Just leave a comment below.

Hands Off "My Pillow"

Until recently my nights have consisted of fighting with a stack or 2 or 3 cheap pillows. You probably know the drill. Flip them, fluff them, toss one to the end of the bed cuz it's to thick, fold over the one you have left cuz it's not thick enough. Nothin' but pillow drama.

About 3 weeks ago I decided to invest in a quality pillow to see if it help me have a more restful sleep. I did a fair amount of research and finally made up my mind to get My Pillow.

You've probably seen the infomercial. I liked that it's the official pillow of the national sleep foundation. So far I am really happy with My new Pillow. I can simply fluff it a bit and get it the right thickness and than it stays like that until I mess with it again. I've stopped waking up with neck aches too, which is a bonus.

It says it has a built in cooling effect, I haven't really noticed if it does or not, but it's winter time right now. Maybe I'll notice that more in the summer.
