Killeen ISD: Pre-k and Kindergarten Round-Up 8/1 and 8/2

If you missed the early round up in May, that's okay! Killeen ISD happens to be the 26th largest and fast-growing district in Texas, and expects nearly 45,000 student enrollments for the 2018-2019 school year alone. We know there are many families coming and going through the greater Killeen-Ft Hood Area, and there's still time to register your little ones before the new school year begins  on August 27th, 2018! So, how do you know if you're child will be attending Killeen ISD? If you live in any of these zoned areas (Nolanville, Harker Heights, Killeen, Ft Hood), you are more than likely included. Do note that Prekindergarten is NOT based on a first come, first served basis. If your child qualifies for prekindergarten, your child will have a place in the prekindergarten program. <3 On-campus registration will be held Wednesday, Aug 1st and Thursday August 2nd, 2018 from 9am-6pm. For KISD Attendance Zones visit www.killeenisd.org , click on STUDENTS & PARENTS, an

Happy National Avocado Day! Celebrate with an Avocado Mask

Happy National Avocado Day! How do you like your avocados? Whether it's with a sprinkle of salt, or mixed with tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and jalapeno for guacamole (you can check out Avacados from Mexico for an assortment of recipes), avocados are have some amazing health benefits, including for your skin!   All I've Avo Wanted™  is a Face Mask that uses only the best ingredients and deeply nourishes with avocado oil, rich in oleic acid—an essential fatty acid to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines—delivering long-lasting moisture to dry, thirsty skin for a supple, more youthful looking complexion with a nourishing cocoa butter base. Apply a thin layer for 5-10 minutes, then rinse. This face mask is especially hydrating after exfoliating skin or using a deep cleansing mask like Cackle Spackle or Whole Lava Love (one of my faves!). You can grab this mask, or an assortment of others here . Please note that this post may contain affiliate links that I may rec

Certified Refurbished Echo Dot (2nd Gen) just $29.99 through 8/5

Echo Dot (2nd Generation) is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, make calls, send and receive messages, provide information, read the news, set alarms, read audiobooks from Audible , and more.  I have rows and mountains of assorted books all throughout my house, but it wasn't until a few month's ago I had never really noticed until the last few months how much I also enjoy audio books. They're so convenient to listen to in the car, at the gym, at the park, or while I'm working my home-based business. You can take it all in, the way the author intended, and I also love that it helps my daughter who has dyslexia read along in her book. Rewind to the other day when I was at a friend's house and she had the Echo (2nd gen) and was busy making biscuits for our Bible Study get together. "Alexa, set a timer for 15 minutes."   Have I been living under a rock? I mean, yeah I tell Google on my phon

Perfectly Posh Starring YOU! Our trip to Nashville

Oh My Posh! I seriously had THE BEST time at our yearly convention (this is my 4th one to attend) in Nashville, Tennessee!! I will say it took God's grace and mercy to get us there because we had car problems (an alternator to be exact) that almost ruined our trip. Luckily my husband is mechanically inclined so he was able to get us on the road. AND on our way out, helped a Posh sister who got stranded on her way heading back to Virginia.  Needless to say, the trip was a memorable one! (That's a picture of us stopping at Pro Bass Shop at the Pyramid .) From out of this world training from our Home Office, Top Leaders in the Company, Lori Greiner from Shark Tank spoke, Alison Faulkner of The Alison Show (She is seriously amazing!!), the launch of our new line for Fall Pampering, a fantastic and highly entertaining Drag Show featuring Viva La Divas , a very close and personal concert given by Sara Evans (we stood literally feet from her on the stage, AND I even got to hav

Business Tools to help you grow in your business!

I know so many of my readers are stay-at-home and work-at-home parents and caregivers.  With that being said I think I will try to do at least one monthly Business Development type of post. The post will most likely include  book and magazine recommendations, maybe a podcast to listen to, printables, and/or just a source for business supplies and tools. I hope it comes of value to you, and is helpful to you in growing your business no matter what business that may be. <3 So for the first post, let's talk about Getting Started or even Re-Launching your (new) business. First of all, CONGRATS! That takes big and crazy courage to start on an adventure into the unknown, but you are amazing and as long as you don't give up, and keep learning new things, you will do amazing things! Get a planner and a notebook to get organized. There's proven studies that say when you write it down, it's more likely to achieve those goals and dreams. Put those words into fruition. Ge

Free Museum Admission for EBT and WIC Recipients

So I know anytime someone mentions EBT, some folks can get their panties in a bunch. But let's be real. People work, people have families, and sometimes that job doesn't cover all the bills and it often comes to a point where you have to choose to pay Bills or Food. And if you're having to choose between those 2 big questions, there's no doubt that a fun, educational family trip to the museum is freely scheduled on your agenda. (Insert sarcasm) :p    If you happen to find yourself asking these questions, you may qualify for assistance. Please contact by phone or this link:  2-1-1  to see what benefits you and/or your family may be eligible for.  Did you know that there are several places that actually allow you free, or reduced, admission when you show your card and/or proof of eligibility throughout the U.S.A. through    Museums for All , a national initiative that encourages families to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. When going, I would
