my 'theGREENurbanite' bag; LOVE!

While at the Knoxville Market Square's Farmer's Market yesterday, I came across one of those "I have to haves." I visited the adorable, unique booth, "TheGREENurbanite."



The owners are adorable, sweet, and easy to talk to talk to.

& to boot, it was only $7!


It holds just about anything a mommy needs.


If you are ever at the FM, make sure to check them out; also visit their website for information on living a Green lifestyle.

Honeymoon Phase?

I thought being a stay-at-home (SAHM for those who like acronyms) would be like this everyday.
Yes, it has those moments, but so far, this is so good. Yeah, yeah, I think the honeymooon phase will pass. It doesn't hurt that its summer & I keep us busy with lots of activities.

My babies are happy.
I am more laid-back,
I love that I can just 'play' and not have a million other things on my mind.

I have been able to be creative in new ways.
LOVE my new kitchen curtains; in the process of re-doing my kitchen so stay tuned.

& who doesn't love summer foods?

& Hazel's dressings on just about anything I eat?

I am blessed,
less stressed & really taking in every moment.
XOXO,
Kate

Swanky & then some!

I had the privilege of hosting a Swanky Baby Vintage trunk show. So many of my friends came out like Mandie, Emily, Danielle, Theresa , Alicia, & Sheena. I also had so much virtual support from my older sister, Heidi, mom, & many other Tennessee & Pennsylvania friends. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, as this has helped me achieve a new career opportunity that works with my new SAHM status. I am honored to announce that I am the East Tennessee (Knoxville & surrounding cities) Consultant for Swanky Baby Vintage.



Please make sure to click the following photos for a larger view...



I will have my SBV website soon, but want to announce some important dates to keep in mind for those who would like to order from the fall line and/or participate in hosting a show to earn amazing rewards.
As follows:
August 2-Fall line debuts (pre-orders begin).
August 3-Virtual shows begin
& August 17th in-home shows begin.
Fall Sneak Peak photos soon!
(you will not want to go with out these clothes)!

Please email me at kate.adcock@mac.com if you have any interest, questions, and/or would like to get your in-home show date locked in as I have a feeling that will be a busy week. I highly suggest an in-home show, as it is so fun to get together with girlfriends and I will have the fall line in various sizes to view.

For now--enjoy some photos from my show (compliments of Millie Morgan Media).
XOXO,
Kate
