Homes For The Holidays

  • Experience the holiday transformation of five beautifully decorated homes in Westmount! The 14 annual Homes For The Holidays tour is coming up Friday, November 22 – Sunday, November 24th! You’ll start out at ‘Home Central’ which (this year) is the Westmount Community Hall. You’ll pick up your map and ticket, you can take in a designer-hosted workshop, enjoy refreshments, and more. Then you’ll walk or drive the tour in whichever order you would like. The homes have been loaned by community members and dressed to the nines for Christmas by local designers and decorators.

ELF

  • Save the date for the Enjoy Light Festival (ELF) at The Enjoy Centre in St. Albert. Interactive light gardens, illuminated light structures, a festive market, photos with Santa, local performers, a light tunnel and local food vendors. The festival runs from November 21 – January 5. All the details here.

Local Love Edmonton-10

 

Kids Yoga

  • This got on my radar solely because our four-year-old asked me (out of the blue) if we could do a yoga class together.  I did some research and here’s what I found. Metta Yoga runs Metta Minis yoga classes every Sunday for kids aged 4-7 and ages 8-13 at its south side studio. The idea is you take a class in the hot room while they enjoy a class in the room that isn’t hot. They’ll also do crafts and activities in that hour. A kid’s drop-in is $10, a five-class pass is $52.50, 10-class pass is $84, and a 20-class pass (which is sharable among multiple children) is $168. Go here to learn more. Leave me a comment on this post if you know of any more studios that offer kids yoga.
