Weed Workshop, The Coolest Playhouse Cafe, and Top 40 Under 40

November 2, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

Discover hidden gems, cool local product, and unique events happening in the Edmonton area. Here’s your new Local Love List.

Local Love List Edmonton-1

Playhouse and Plant-Based Cafe

  • Hands down, the coolest kids playhouse EVER is now up and running in Edmonton. Wyatt and I got a sneak peek at Sweet Pea Cafe and Playhouse before it opened yesterday, and I’m telling you, it’s SO awesome. One side is a cafe, and the other side is a playhouse and workshop area. The two are separated by a set of doors, so if you want to enjoy a latte with friends and not be disturbed by wild kids, you can do that. Meantime, parents or caregivers who want to enjoy a coffee or get some work done while the kids play can do so in the workshop space on the playhouse side. The play area has six mini-homes including a diner, hospital, and grocery store. Read more on how it all works here, and book your spot online here.

Local Love List Edmonton-2

Weed Workshop

  • Salisbury Greenhouse is hosting a workshop tomorrow (Saturday, November 3) on growing Cannabis. You’ll learn about hydroponic growing, and there will be an open discussion on laws and regulations. It goes from 2-4pm. Get your $10 ticket here.

Local Love List Edmonton-3

Shop Local For The Holidays

  • Check out all of my favourite local spots to shop for the holidays! Check out this piece I wrote for Holland and Associates Real Estate, and discover my curated list of boutiques (and a few cafes) in different areas of the city.

Local Love List Edmonton-4

Green Drinks

  • This is an evening most of us should probably attend. The next Green Drinks event is titled ‘YEG Allies’ and invites you to facilitate discussions around Indigenous relations and treaties, supporting the LGBTQ2S+ community, feminism, racism, and mental health. According to the event’s page, “even the best-intended efforts can be misinformed.” All the details on the evening are here.

Local Love List Edmonton-5

Christmas Decorating Event

  • Birchwood Meadows is hosting a FREE festive afternoon with local floral designer Cory Christopher. Cory will be offering decorating ideas to inspire you this season, plus there are delicious goodies! It goes November 18 from 1-5pm. Be sure to RSVP to design@corychristopher.ca.

Local Love List Edmonton-6

Water Brush Workshop

  • Step up your Christmas card game with some fancy writing! Designer and hand letterer extraordinaire Justine Ma is hosting two holiday-themed water brush workshops later this month. Both are on Sunday, November 18 (one at 10 am and the next at 2 pm) at Fabloomosity Floral Atelier. Get your tickets here.

Local Love List Edmonton-7

Top 40 Under 40

  • Avenue Magazine is out with its Top 40 Under 40 list for 2018. The recipients will be celebrated at a special event at The Winspear on November 7, and you can attend! Get tickets here. View this year’s Top 40 here.

Local Love List Edmonton-8

Make Christmas Ornaments

  • Why not stitch up some Christmas ornaments this year? Alexandra of Florals and Floss Embroidery is hosting a workshop at Fern’s School of Crafts on Saturday, December 8th, where you’ll learn how to make embroidery hoop ornaments for your tree. Register here. If you would rather skip the work and just buy the ornaments created by Alex, you can do so here. 

Local Love List Edmonton-9

Christmas Market in Stony

  • Halloween out, Christmas in! Holiday market seasons kicks off this weekend with Crafters to the Rafters (I love this name) in Stony Plain. The handmade market is on Saturday and Sunday at the Stony Plain Heritage Pavillion. I’ll have a full list of all holiday markets in next week’s Local Love List!

What do you do when other kids are mean to your ki What do you do when other kids are mean to your kid? How do you handle it? No matter what season you're in with parenting or how old your kids are, I would love to hear your tactics! Please share below in the comments and we can all learn from each other👇👇. #pinkshirtday

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣
See that cute little face photo bombing in the bac See that cute little face photo bombing in the back? 😊 He helps with my mental health on a daily basis. I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛

Visit up.atb.com to enter to win prizes, and get more info about the challenges and Alberta’s Mental Health Foundation.
I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with you. I miss traveling. The end. Happy Valentine's Day!
