After watching his sister play countless games, James has decided that he, too, wants to be a stud ballplayer. He’s suddenly a little sponge, soaking up coaching and busting his butt to improve every chance he gets. In his first game, he had the game-winning hit and the game-saving play. His coach awarded him the game ball and I don’t think I’ve ever seen James with such a big smile on his face. We are so proud of him and so happy that he’s having big moments. It’s his turn to shine!

Fun Finds
~I’ve found a new pair of yoga/exercise pants that I LOVE. Extremely well made, they have pockets, AND they’re completely squat-proof (very necessary for me as a coach who squats to warm up pitchers)!
~I bought this cosmetic organizer a month ago and I wish I’d bought it sooner (so does Mike). It’s nice to be able to see my stuff without it being all over the counter.
~I am in desperate need of a new pillow! If any of you have one you love, PLEASE share!!! My insomnia and I thank you in advance.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Latex pillows, I think by beauty rest, are the only ones I use. Look into them! But they are had to find, unfortunately

I have the Sutera pillow, and I LOVE it! My sciatica used to be so terrible I could hardly sleep. Since about 3 days of using the pillow, it hasn’t bothered me at all.

Coop home goods adjustable loft memory foam pillow on Amazon.
Best pillow I’ve ever owned. When it gets smushed down, you just throw it in the dryer for 10 minutes and it plumps back up. And they include an extra bag of the foam squares if you need more.

As a lifelong insomniac (even as a baby), I recommend the Bluewave Bedding Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow on my blog: https://www.kittydeschanel.com/p/who-are-these-people.html. I’ve had 2 in different thicknesses for several years. You might also look into an Oura ring, which is like a Fitbit that focuses on sleep improvement. I’m actually waiting to order one for myself right now (they had a sale recently and I missed it – darn). I work for the founder of the National Sleep Alliance, Dr. Brandes (https://www.sandiaparkfamilydentistry.com/meet-us), and he recommends it highly. I hope this helps, Heather! No sleep = no fun.

I have the Zoey Sleep Pillow and love it since you can customize it–I pulled out probably 1/3 of the stuffing and it is perfect. https://zoeysleep.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1PSDBhDbARIsAPeTqrdFE9QFgQGdyHfXgsS0xcBZcXVkBpDxlIfMnt4U1q1Yko38_vEBPAoaAltjEALw_wcB
