Erica Weiner Bat Jaw Necklace

If there’s one good thing about Kevin traveling to NYC…

It’s the fact that he comes home bearing gifts. And, that gift is usually from Erica Weiner. I’ve been a fan since Kevin & I were just dating… I saw a handcuff necklace in a magazine, and somehow it was so ‘me’ that both my boyfriend & my good friend ordered it for me. And, what’s crazy, is that I didn’t even show them the magazine tear. The main reason it was so clear that I’m a fan is because of how feminine, yet edgy it is. See for yourself…

Father + Son Haircuts at Rudy’s

And, as promised, they did…

Last weekend we decided to head out and attempt to kill two birds with one stone. Kevin had been in desperate need of a haircut & Max was looking a little shaggy. We had been unhappy with the kids places we’d found to cut Max’s hair, so we decided to let him tag along with Dad.

Pom-Limón Cocktail Recipe

When life doesn’t give you lemons, just use limes…

So, who knew lemons were so hard to find in Mexico? Since I was on cocktail duty on our vacation, I fully planned on making this elderflower cocktail for the family in Mexico. Not only were lemons hard to find, but so was the St Germain. So, I got a little creative and the result was absolutely delicious!

Our Trip to Mexico

Man, do I love America…

Sometimes it takes leaving the country to have a full appreciation for what you have at home. That being said, we had the most amazing time with my mom & new family. We stayed in an incredible villa with an ocean view that (literally) brought me to tears. My mom’s wedding was beautiful and private (there were only 6 of us there). And, the service was incredible. I’m one of those people who can just be on vacation. I don’t need to run around and keep myself busy, and this vacation was perfect for that.

HELLO-SPLENDOR-BETHDOTOLO

The New Hello, Splendor!

So, I kinda have this thing for blogging…

And, it all really started with Hello, Splendor. I started that little blog as a personal outlet and it kind of blew up in the best way possible. Then, last year when I decided to take the plunge in my business, Pulp Design Studios, I gave the blog over to Pulp Design Studios. That’s when it (meaning I) sort of lost focus. I wasn’t sure what was business and what was personal… after all, my business is very personal to me. And, I wasn’t sure how much should I share of my personal life on which is now my business blog. It was a blogging personality crisis, if you will. Well, today launched what is a new focus for Hello, Splendor…

July Happenings

It’s JULY 2012…

This year is just flying by! As of this month, we will have officially lived in Seattle for six months. Part of me feels like we just got here and other part of me feels like we’ve always lived here. Oh, back to July… I’ve listed a few things for July that I’m excited about & a few things that I think everyone should add to their calendar. Television events, holidays, and the relaunch of my company’s blog. Mark those calendars…

Arriba! Arriba!

We’re headed to Mexico…

My mom is getting married & I’m so excited to see her and her new husband to celebrate!

I’ve actually never vacationed in Mexico, so I’m excited to relax ocean-side with my shades on and a margarita in hand. (By the way, those shades are a pair of men’s aviator sunglasses from Target that I get compliments on all the time. I’ve bought handfuls of these & just throw them in my purse without worrying about scratching them up. The perfect pair!)

The Best Fruit Salad Ever

And, I don’t take these things lightly…

For Father’s Day breakfast, I made a great baked egg recipe that I’ve been making for years (will share that one at a later date!) and decided to make some sides out of the fixings I had for a picnic sandwich later that day. I baked some italian meats instead of bacon and I just threw together a fruit salad with some fruits we had on hand. Little did I know….

Best Apps for Flying with Children

Ever sit next to a kid on an airplane?

Yeah, I know it’s a hot button issue. Well, let me tell you that being on an airplane with a toddler is worst for the parents than it is for the poor souls sitting near the toddler. There’s truly is nothing fun about flying with a little one… except landing at your vacation destination. Having family all over the country, we’ve flown with our little guy quite a bit and have become quite good at it, I think! I thought I’d share some of our favorite apps for keeping the kids entertained for hours.

Father’s Day Picnic + Spicy Italian Fig Sandwich Recipe

Dads are an awesome thing to celebrate, aren’t they?!

This year I had the pleasure of celebrating Father’s Day with two great Dad’s. Not my own, sadly! But, my husband’s (and my) great friend, who we fondly call Wildcat, just moved to Seattle from Dallas and is staying with us. He had to make the journey out here before his family, so it was our job to make it a special day. It was an all day affair! After a great breakfast, we headed to the beach for a picnic. It was serene, gorgeous, and best of all…. delicious.
