BzzAgent: BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils

We're back with another exciting campaign from BzzAgent! With back to school just around the corner, these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils have arrived at a perfect time. They are colorful and cute with 5 different colors to choose from: purple, pink, blue, yellow & orange! My favorite is the purple, of course. I also love that they come with lead & eraser refills!

They write smooth & really dark without having to press down on the pencil. The lead is strong and didn't break easily when I pressed down to test it out. The eraser is smooth and doesn't smudge, but I did notice on the writing where I pressed down too hard on the lead, you could still see a bit of the writing after I erased it. It definitely worked better on the writing where I didn't press down really hard on the lead. The good thing is, you don't actually have to press down hard at all, so it works really well!

My son was also very surprised by how smooth & comfortable they are to use!

The Simple Things

It doesn't really take a lot for me to realize how blessed my life is. There is so much to be thankful for. It's the little things that matter. And I don't want to take anything for granted.

This summer we've been enjoying nature...not going into the wilderness or anything big like that, but in our very own backyard.

Can you believe an entire fox family decided to spend the morning playing right here in my yard? It may seem like something insignificant, but I enjoyed watching them run around. We've also been lucky enough to see a beautiful fawn going for a walk and two sand turtles that come every day to eat  our grass. I decided to share all of these little critters with you.

I hope you're having an amazing summer enjoying all the simple things, too!
