If I had a {couple} hundred dollars

I would be eating up some of these goodies.

Man, it sure would be nice to just order away,

then wait patiently on the little knock-on the door.

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

Swanky!

I am SO excited to be hosting a Swanky Baby Vintage trunk show! If you also follow me on facebook, you have seen the information about the show. However, I thought I would post it here as well. Please follow the link for show information and virtual orders! How cool is that?! *Please note that all orders placed through the link do not qualify for the flat rate $4 shipping. However, direct shipping costs mean it comes straight to you and not through me! (you could get your clothes before me)? FUN!*

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any more information and/or sizing help.

XOXO,

A note to daddy....

from your 3 year old daughter, Avery.

I love my daddy and his hugs. I love my daddy's face. I love my daddy's hair and eyes. I love when daddy plays with my father's day present. I love to play with my daddy's computer, and iPad, oh and Phone and listening to music in the car. I love when daddy takes me to the doctor and to tunastics {gymnastics} and to the store.

signs of summer...

are popping up here in Knoxville, TN.

The days are hot,

with evenings of thunderstorms.

The school age kiddos fill every fast-food restaurant at all times of the day & drive like idiots while I am driving for work.

Avery is in her bathing suit 90% of the season.

& eating lots of ice-cream.

with sprinkles.

Particularly strawberry.

So far Anderson ate his first hunk of grass.

Yummers.

Avery has had her first of many runs through the Worlds Fair Park fountains &

sweet tastes while purchasing local produce at the Farmer's Market.

Something about summer makes the music sound sweeter.

Sweet music

brings more smiles & giving hearts.

& thats why Southern summers are the best.

ready for

some good health, happiness,

and smiles.

We have had one poopy

June since we got back from vacation.

& I am ready to see some HH&S

again.

Lets hope I'm not taking it too far by hitting up the Farmer's Market in a little bit with A&A,

but I'm DYING to get outta the house & CRAVING for some local produce.

& how could you not just smile looking at Avery in that pic. {courtesy of her teacher, Miss Lauren} It makes me so happy to know that the same little personality at home carries out at school & they embrace that.

tick tock, tick tock...

Over the next few weeks, watch for some sneak-peeks & giveaways.

XOXO!

pure happiness.
