The Best Pillow for A Good Nights Sleep

 Choosing the right pillow may be very vital in accomplishing restful sleep. A proper pillow will help the top and neck with out applying immoderate strain, as it conforms to the precise shape of the bed, as a result spreading the weight frivolously and uniformly alongside the vertebrae. Pillows are a constant supply of frustration for many. In addition to aggravating the neck, plenty of pillows also can have an effect on the shoulder. The shoulder ought to not be positioned at 90 tiers to the bed, due to the fact it can cause spasms inside the trapezius muscle mass.Trapezius muscle mass perform a variety of actions, including acting as a platform to elevate the cranium, which is very important to relax in the course of sleep completely. If the shoulder is located barely ahead at the mattress in the front of the mattress, assuming that the mattress can keep this role, the threat of placing stress on the trapezius and forcing the scapula (shoulder blade) to the column is decrease...

How To Make a Split Monogram For A Dollar Store Tote

Image
I bought these totes at the dollar store, knowing that I'd be able to do something with them eventually.  And then I got a cricut.  YAY!  Now I must cricut absolutely everything, to justify the cost of this thing.  :-) I knew I wanted to put a monogram on them, but I wanted to do a "split" monogram, and it took me a bit to figure out how to do that.  This was the first I have used the weld and split features - I didn't even know they were there until I tackled this project.  You'll find them on the bottom right of your cricut design screen.  They will be faded out until you select two images at he same time. I started with a T  - for Truckenmiller.  5x5 works nicely on these totes.  I used the Imprint Mt Shadow font for the T. Next use the shape tool, and choose Square.  Unlock the shape (bottom left) and you can stretch it into a rectangle.  I like to keep the rectangle just about as wide as the letter. Now is when you "weld" ...

The "Big" Annual Geocaching Events

Image
 There was an interesting thread on a facebook group recently, that started me on a search for some of the bigger events, and some that are not necessarily the biggest, but were of interest for other reasons. If you are  a geocacher planning out your vaction time for next year, below is a list of dates and locations to keep in mind.  :-) Curious about what to expect at a geocaching event?  I wrote about our experiences at different events here :  http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/05/geocaching-events.html I know my list below is nowhere near complete - please let me know what I am missing! First, an explanation of Event sizes: Mega Event -  "Mega-Event status must be applied for yearly and is ultimately determined by Geocaching HQ. To be considered for Mega-Event status, Will Attends must surpass 500. It is uncommon for a first-time event to qualify for Mega-Event status.
