A Unique Daycare, The Guy Box, and #YEG Holiday Traditions!

December 1, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

Local Love-1


Made in YEG Pop-Up:
This event sounds super chic and festive. Made in YEG is hosting a holiday mixer and networking event on Friday, December 8 from 7-9pm at The Bay Southgate. Tickets are $25 each or two for $40. Details here.

Local Love-2

Unpack and Play: We’ve heard great things about this parent-child interactive program. First of all, it’s FREE! It runs for 12 weeks and features circle time, story time, singing, dancing, crafts, reading, etc. Registration for the winter sessions opens December 4. Priority is given to newcomers, which I really love! More here.

Festive Outings:

Lights at the Legislature: Every night from December 7-23, the Legislature grounds light up along with musical performances, ice sculptures, etc. It’s one of our traditions every year. Bundle up, grab a Candy Cane Latte and head down to the grounds!

Candy Cane Lane: Plan a walk or book a sleigh ride to take in some off-the-charts houses, all decked out in decorations and lights. From December 8-31 on 148 Street between 92 and 100th Ave. Make sure to bring a non-perishable donation for the Food Bank.

Castrol Raceways: The Magic of Lights is on until January 6th out near Devon. You stay in your vehicle for this one: a 2km drive around the track to take in all of the beautiful light displays!


Reindeer Treats:
Maybe you’re not a Pinterest star, but you’ll sure look like one with these Reindeer Treats! I promise, they’re super simple and inexpensive to create. Get the recipe here. 

Local Love-3

For the Boys: I’m reviewing “The Guy Box” from YEG Box on my Insta Stories today. This limited-edition subscription box for the dude in your life features contents made in Edmonton. They’re sure to sell out fast so make sure to get your order in! Follow along to see what’s in there…

Local Love-4

Christmas Cheer: Check out this low-cal vodka drink I’m mixing up for the holidays!

Local Love-5

Royal Bison Round Two: Royal Bison’s second market of the holiday season runs this weekend, Dec 1-3, just north of the Strathcona Farmer’s Market. Find really unique, locally-made items at this one. Vendor details and times here.

Mom Style: I’m discussing how my wardrobe has changed since becoming a mom, and one of my favourite pieces to wear while parenting… the Playsuit! Check it out here.

Fashion Tips: I’ve teamed up with Bella Maas Boutique for a series of style videos. Watch here and here.  Two more will be posted on Bella Maas’ Instagram feed in the coming weeks.

Local Love-6

New Daycare: Kepler Academy (named after NASA’s Kepler Telescope) is getting set to open the first of three Edmonton locations in January at 16826 107 Ave. Their approach is all about play, discovery, motor skills, imagination, and integrates robotics, science, technology, yoga, jujitsu and more. I’m intrigued.

Local Love-7

Favourite Things: My latest ‘Favourite Things’ post is up on my Instagram. This candle is best thing you will ever smell (besides your babies).

Local Love-8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Follow Friday: A brand new feature to your Local Love List! Each week I’ll share a local IG account I love and think you will too. This week it’s Flowers by Willows! The photos are stunning and the work is so beautiful. They’re based in Central Alberta BUT they’re doing order pick-ups in Sherwood Park on December 10 for this gorgeous Isabella copper wreath! It’s $60 with $10 from each sale going to the Kids With Cancer Society’s Secret Santa program. Your donation will be used to buy toys for kids for Christmas. The last day to order one is tomorrow! Do it here.

Local Love-9

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! 🙌🤍
