Silk Bar + Kitchen

This is on my list of new places to try. Silk Bar and Kitchen is a fairly new 84-seat restaurant and lounge in the Ice District. Looks like a great place for drinks before the game. If you’ve tried it, let me know what you think!

Private DIY Party

  • There’s nothing like getting all messy doing crafts and projects, especially when it’s for a good cause. I’m excited to part of The Edmonton Fall Home Show‘s Ultimate Upcycle Challenge: A Room Reloved, happening October 26! DIY and Lifestyle Expert Leigh-Anne Perrault is hosting this fun, private event with several local influencers and a handful of winners. We’ll be revamping old pieces of furniture to be auctioned off at the Edmonton Fall Home Show, with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. So, save the date and read next Friday’s Local Love List to find out how to win your way in!

Create a Joyful Home

  • Still with the Edmonton Fall Home Show… When I got word Calgary-based professional organizer Helen Youn was coming to town to present at the show I just had to connect with her. She specializes in the KonMari Method of organizing your home to spark joy. I know you’ll love what she has to say! I’ve asked her to give us Five Simple Ways You Can Create A Joyful Home. Read here.

Reset – Discount Code

  • I’m in the middle of a mind and body reset (something I decided to do after the indulgence of Thanksgiving and craziness of September). I’ll be featuring the ways I’m resetting on my Instagram Story and you can join along too! I’ve teamed up with several local companies to help us throughout the next couple weeks and I’ll be offering discount codes along the way. Try a one or three-day reset (juices, shots, soups and salads) with Hutch + Howl. Use the code ‘Kari15’ to get 15% off! Order here.

    My favourite part of Halloween is getting creative with DIY costumes and watching Hocus Pocus! They really should make a sequel!

    Love having kids so excited for Halloween this year! Picking our pumpkins, costumes & fall decorations- not to mention pumpkin spice everything 🎃. Had a near 2 year old who refused constumes to a now nearly 4 year old who dresses up all of the time!

    My favourite part about Halloween is seeing how excited my daughter (now 8 years old) gets when she gets home from Trick or Treating and gets to help hand out candy to all the other Trick or Treaters coming to the door! She loves handing out candy more than she loves getting candy for herself!!

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
