November 3, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

Edmonton Love-1

$2500 Shopping Spree: Join me at Kingsway Mall tomorrow (Saturday, November 4) at noon. I’ll be hosting a fashion show, and we’ll be giving away a $2500 Shopping Spree! The first 250 people in line will receive a GC and a chance to win the big $2500 prize! Please come say hi while you’re there!

Kingsway’s New Boutiques: Kingsway Mall has welcomed Elle’s Closet Boutique. This local shop out of Athabasca is hosting a (sold-out) grand opening party Saturday night in their new space. Kingsway has also welcomed back The Makers Keep boutique. They’re having a grand re-opening party tomorrow night from 7-10 pm. RSVP here.

Hot Diggity Dog: A new hot dog joint is now open in the Mercer Building on 104th. Mayday Dogs is licensed, there are vegetarian options, and they also serve tots (like tater tots on steroids) and milkshakes. Sounds pretty yummy! Check them out here.

Meal Delivery: Thinking of trying meal delivery? Check out HelloFresh for delicious recipes and all the ingredients delivered right to your door. Use my promo code ‘Kari40’ for 40% off your first order at HelloFresh.ca!

Sip for the Stollery: A fundraising/networking/wine/appie evening goes next Wednesday, November 8 at the gorgeous RSVP Design Studios (4552 99th Street). Your entire $30 ticket price to ‘Sip for the Stollery goes to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. Get your tickets here. 

Adventure to the Capital: Ryan and I had a fabulous time in Ottawa last weekend! Watch for my trip recap soon, including the best places to snap a great Instagram photo while you’re there!

Restaurants Praise: Three Edmonton restaurants made EnRoute Magazine’s top 10 list of Canada’s Best New Restaurants 2017. Congrats to Clementine, Cafe Linnea, and Alder Room!

Luxury Holiday Pop-Up:  Jacek Chocolate, So Pretty Cara Cotter, and Pura Botanicals have teamed up for this holiday pop-up at Manulife place. It starts November 8 and runs until December 22. I love seeing women in business collaborate this way!

Edmonton Love-5

Best Pumpkin Squares: I’ve tried and tested out a few different recipes for pumpkin squares over the years but I always come back to this one. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

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!
