As much as I want to be outside enjoying the gorgeous sunshine (and weeding my flower beds so my yard doesn’t bring disgrace to the neighborhood), it’s over 100 degrees today and I just can’t tolerate the heat.

I know what you’re thinking: “A Product Review?!? Andi, you’re kind of a big deal now!” Well, yes… yes, I am. Thanks for noticing. All I need now is a fancy schmancy giveaway, and I’ll be all nipping at Dooce’s heels! Um, yeah, not even close. But still, [...]
