Visiting Texas: Hurricane Harvey Thoughts + Ways to Help & Resources

Hey Butterflies. This past week has really tested my patience and my faith. As I prepare to start my day, I can't help but reflect on what's been happening here in Texas. Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas which is about thirty minutes from Corpus Christi on Saturday August 25th leaving a huge mess across all of Southern Texas.

I've never wanted the rain to stop so bad in my entire life, it poured rain nonstop for days, causing life threatening problems for all of us. My guy was stuck at his job for five days, my sister's home was flooded and they had to be rescued, my cousin's home was flooded, and I was trapped in my neighborhood surrounded by water, unable to get to my loved ones, work or anywhere else. It's still all unreal to me, it's like something you see on the news and you feel bad for the people going thorough it but until you actually go through it or a similar situation..it's hard to truly understand.

Back to School With BIC Velocity Max Mechanical Pencil

Hi Butterfly Mommies. What’s on your back to school to-do list? We’re all busy getting our little humans settled into their back to school daily routine and stocking up on school supplies is an important part of getting ready for back to school. The new BIC® Velocity® Max Mechanical Pencil has a large 75% wider eraser for more erasing power. It’s soft gel grip molds to your hand for a comfortable writing experience. It has the smoothest, darkest writing vs. other BIC® mechanical pencils. The barrel colors may vary but the strong lead erases cleanly every time. I’ve been testing them out this week, I love writing with them and I know your kid will love writing with them too so be sure to pick up a pack while you’re out shopping for supplies.
