My Pillow
About a year ago, we got rid of cable (wise move). But with fewer channels, that means we see the same commercials over and over and over. I’ve seen good ol’ Mike Lindell and his commercial for the My Pillow a bazillion times and I got it in my head I needed to try it. Does it bring about the “best night’s sleep in the whole wide world?” That’s debatable, but it is a super comfy pillow that I definitely recommend-and I apologize if that jingle is now stuck in your head.

Adjustable Bed
There’s a sleep theme this month! We were recently in the market for a new mattress, box spring and headboard. While shopping for the bed, we learned about adjustable bed bases and having the bed in a zero gravity position. While it’s not the cheapest item in this column, let me tell you that if you are searching for a new bed, the adjustable base is a game changer. Wow! Lying in it at the zero gravity position and watching a show or two is the perfect way to relax.
Margaritas
It’s known that I enjoy a good margarita-and sheer coincidence that my name is similar to the drink. I’m of the mindset that a margarita tastes best ordered out and about rather than mixed at home. I’ve sampled them at many local establishments, and my fave is at Coco Bolos in Overland Park. It’s made with fresh lime juice, it’s not too tart and not overly-leaded. Let me know where you find your fave, and I’ll give it a try! CocoBolosKC.com
Early Exploration
Years ago, I was an elementary teacher with an emphasis on early childhood education. I taught for 10 years before taking time off with my girls and then stepping back into the work world at KC Parent. Early childhood education holds a special place in my heart, and I love the new Early Explorations area for the younger set that recently opened at Science City. It’s so important to give kids a solid start, and I’m thrilled that it’s a focus at Science City. Check it out today! UnionStation.org
