Edmonton Local Love-1

Edmonton Made Gift Guide

  • This is a fabulous way to shop local and to get your out-of-town friends to shop all things Edmonton! Edmonton Made just released its brand new list of businesses to be featured in this year’s catalogue. (“Designed to make shopping local easy for locals, tourists and businesses, Gifted brings together the best the city has to offer in both a beautifully designed print catalogue and a convenient online shopping experience.”) They’ve doubled the number of businesses involved and most are brand new. See who’s on the list and do some local shopping here.

Outdoor Pools

  • Don’t forget City of Edmonton outdoor pools are FREE again this year from May – September! The City had the same offer last year to celebrate Canada 150, and it helped to more than double attendance, so they brought it back! Two of the five outdoor pools are already opened. Here’s the local pool schedule:

Fred Broadstock – opened on May 19
Queen Elizabeth Outdoor Pool – opened on May 19
Mill Creek Outdoor Pool – June 1
Oliver Outdoor Pool – June 9
Borden Natural Swimming Pool – June 22

Babes Who Brunch

  • The Ace Class Edmonton’s Babes Who Brunch series continues this weekend with an awesome local businesswoman. Kyla Kazeil, who co-owns four local businesses, including one of my favourite local boutiques – The Bamboo Ballroom – will be speaking tomorrow (May 26) from 10-12 at MKT. You’ll listen to her life experiences and business insights, connect with others and have real and raw conversations. Your $45 ticket price also includes coffee, a two-course brunch, and a curated gift bag. Get tickets here. 

Edmonton Local Love-7

The Kari Salad

  • Only a few more days to grab a Kari Salad in support of Ronald McDonald House! I’m so honoured to have teamed up with Glow Juicery for their first-ever ‘The Food Fight’ for charity! For the month of May, my salad ‘The Kari’ is facing off against my mom blogger friend Kira’s (Northern Style Exposure) salad, ‘The Kira’. Whoever sells more salads gets to donate 10% of sales to their charity of choice! I’m hoping to raise as much as I can for Ronald McDonald House Charities, Northern Alberta. Friends of ours from Calgary just spent time their while their baby girl had heart surgery. We all know how integral this place is to our community and beyond. So please pop into Glow’s Old Strathcona location (7911 104 Street) and pick up a Kari Salad before the end of May!

Tik Tok Trend ⤵️ You've heard of 'Girl Math' Tik Tok Trend ⤵️

You've heard of 'Girl Math' but this is Mom Math. This all make sense to you, moms? Sure does to me. 🙃

😭 I'm having a hard time with this one.  I kn 😭 I'm having a hard time with this one. 

I know - bust out the 🎻 - but seriously. I've had some good cries this week as we start to pack up and get rid of some of our baby stuff. Most of it we've had since Wyatt came on the scene.

It hurts to know this baby-making chapter is closing and the last jump in the jolly jumper is over and I'll never be pregnant again.😭😭 Of course, I'm excited for everything ahead but this is hard on the heart. Been here? You feel this?

Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 ... but seriously? 

Actually listened to the lyrics while Miss. Rachel was on.🙈 Side note- i love her.

 What else needs changing? ⬇️

Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️ You kno Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

this video ⬆️ is from @fairmontjpl's Lac Beauvert. On every summer visit, Wyatt and I have a tradition of renting a kayak from The Boathouse and cruising the lake.
