Local Love List: Music Festival Lineups, A Walking Tour App and A Creative Space for Kids

June 2, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

Local Love List-1Walking Tour App: Just in time for summer, The Friends of Rutherford House Society just launched an interactive app which guides you through some of our city’s most beautiful and historic locations. This is something fun to do with the kids, or out-of-town guests. The first-available tour connects Rutherford House to the University of Alberta campus, exploring the early history of the University. You can do it in 30 minutes. Get the IOS version here and the Andriod version here.

Kid’s Creative Space: This is perfect for those rainy summer days. I came across Creation Space on Instagram and can’t wait to take Wyatt! Art classes, and open studio/workshops for babies, kids, teens, adults and families. They combine “art education with child-led discovery and family connectivity.” Check them out here and here.

Our Summer: We’ve got our summer pretty much all mapped out. In my most recent post I touched on our summer schedule, plans for baby #2, and some adorable toddler outfits, perfect for park time!

Show Your Pride: Edmonton Pride Festival is one week away! It runs from June 9-18. The parade travels down Whyte Avenue on Saturday, June 10 starting at 11:00 a.m. We brought Wyatt last year and had a blast! Everything you need to know is detailed here. Also, check them out on Instagram – here. 

Local Love List-3

Inspiring Stories: We revealed the winners of our Women of Strength Giveaway this week. They’re women doing amazing things in the community, inspiring others, and loving unconditionally. The chosen ten each received a Sparkle Set from Jacek Chocolate and Hillberg and Berk. Grab your beverage of choice and give it a read. I’m sure you’ll tear up at least once!

Folk Fest: The lineup for Edmonton Folk Festival was released on Wednesday. Brandi Carlile, Ricky Skaggs, Ashley MacIsaac, Leon Bridges, and many more will take to the stage this summer. Check out the entire line-up here. The beer garden has been expanded, and there will be more toilets this year. Don’t forget tickets go on sale this Sunday, June 4th at 7:00 a.m at The Edmonton Ball Park, and then online at 3:00 p.m. They sell fast so get on it!

Interstellar: We love Interstellar! Especially because you can sip your wine in your seat while watching the show. (Ahem… take note Folk Fest). Tickets are now on sale. Aloe Blacc, Serena Ryder and Broken Social Scene are the headliners this year.

It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm de It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm definitely feeling it. Still processing much I've what I've watched, seen, and heard.

There's a lot to sift through online, but here are a few videos that are definitely worth the time - to bring perspective, some joy, and some love. I've posted some in my stories this week but wanted a permanent place on my feed. The links are all clickable in my bio. 

Watch @marielle.elizabeth's video "Being Healthy Doesn't Make Your Life More Valuable" https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoItr8ANtC/.

Watch @celeighcardinal's new music video which celebrates community, friendship, and all forms of love.

Meet a remarkable family. The family of Rob White - the man who presumed drowned after trying to save a dog in the river last week - spoke on love, kindness and legacy on #RealTalkRJ. I was honestly bawling the whole time (starts at the 1:20 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7s3JsUT6Q

I'm also heartbroken to hear about another unnecessary loss. Daunte Wright. To the black community - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this again. 

Hugs to you, friends. ❤
Happy birthday @ryanjespersen! 🥳🥳 🥳 Alth Happy birthday @ryanjespersen! 🥳🥳 🥳

Although this photo is from a year ago, the setting will be exactly the same for Ry's second pandemic birthday: cocktails 🥂and Crispy Crunch Cake 🎂. It's all you truly need, isn't it? Your family, delicious food, and fabulous cocktails! 😊

I won't get too mushy but I love this guy so much. He LIVES life to the fullest. Always bringing the fun, he cares deeply, and loves unconditionally.❤❤ If you haven't already done so check out his show Real Talk at RyanJespersen.com. 

Oh - and the cake recipe is at KariSkelton.com (link in my bio). Only three ingredients! 🕺🙌

Happy second birthday to our sweet girl! 🥳 In h Happy second birthday to our sweet girl! 🥳 In human years she's 19, and it turns out she's just like me at that age: wild, getting into all sorts of trouble, sleeping most of the day, and boy crazy (ball crazy for her).😅 Swipe for the latest Roe pic.

Do you celebrate your dog's birthday?

Curious- how are you handling planning for summer? Curious- how are you handling planning for summer?🏖 I'm hoping we'll be at a place in this pandemic where we can road trip with friends, but I don't know.🤷‍♀️ 

Are you booking or have you already booked everything just in case and then will cancel if need be? 

Last summer we rented a motorhome and camped in Kananaskis and it was amazing!🏞 If you're still trying to convince your spouse that the family needs a trailer (like I am 😊), check out RVezy.com - an RV rental marketplace where you rent from private owners (kind of like Air BNB). We had a great experience! 🙌🤍
