Visiting Texas: 2016 Comicpalooza Recap + 2017 Comicpalooza Event Dates

Hey Butterflies! I posted back in May about how I was looking forward to this year's Comicpalooza, well it was this past weekend here in Houston, Texas and it was a super cool experience as always. The Comicpalooza mobile app was a HUGE time saver again this year but the traffic in the area was really bad this year. I'm guessing it was due to the construction, Comicpalooza and the fact that the Red Soxs were in town playing the Astros; the traffic was kind of discouraging but we made it. Due to me having a ton of other obligations I didn't get to take it all in like I'd hope to, I spent most of my time driving back and forth. However, I did get to attend two literary panels, my kid met Zach Callison of Steven Universe as planned and my guy got some really awesome Batman throwing knives. I twitted about my kid's reaction to meeting Zach and he liked the tweet, I thought that was pretty cool considering most celebrities don't interact with their fan-base.

Celebrating Dad + Last Day of Reebok Father's Day Sale

Happy Father's Day Butterflies! I know Father's Day doesn't get as much hype as Mother's Day but dads are just as important so I wanted to wish you guys an awesome day and remind you all to show your dad some love and appreciation today. Father's Day always make me think of when I was a kid traveling out of town with my dad in his big rig, listening to music and eating sunflower seeds and corn nuts lol. I remember on one of our many road trips we saw an albino alligator on the side of the road and I was so geeked by that. Those trips meant the world to me and is probably the reason I'm so infatuated with seeing the world! What's your best dad story? Additionally, if you're still in the market for a gift for dad, shop the Reebok Father's Day Sale - 20% Off Sitewide and 30% Off Markdowns with promo code DAD, ends tonight 6/19.

Music: The Heart Speaks in Whispers - Corinne Bailey Rae

Hello my music loving Butterflies! It's #FeelGoodFriday and I just discovered  that Corinne Bailey Rae released a new album. The first time I heard a Corinne Bailey Rae song was about six years ago, an ex-coworker was listening to this song that caught my attention and being the music obsessed person that I am, I had to know who this artist was. The song was "I'd Do It All Again" from Corinne's second studio album "The Sea" released in 2010. Corinne Bailey Rae is a British singer/songwriter from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Her musical style is unique; as it includes soul, r&b, and jazz.
