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.

We'll be showing you what our Elf 
Candi🍭 does each day this year so you can share in the joy of the season! We would love to see what your elf is up to as well so be sure to tag us!❤️ 

We're also wondering if she may bring a new elf friend with her this year. 🤔 How cool would that be?! 

🍭Last year she decorated Wyatt's bedroom door with a whole bunch of cool stuff she brought from the North Pole including blown up candy canes, swirly mints, twinkle lights, and a few fun Christmas garland. What do you think?

This trend had me deep in the files for hours last This trend had me deep in the files for hours last night 😭😭 

Ask any questions in the comments ⤵️ I'm an open book on this one. Feel free to share with someone who may need it. I believe sharing our struggles and stories helps all of us feel less alone.

Ry and I had the talks that maybe this wouldn't happen for us. The biggest heartache in that was thinking Wyatt wouldn't have a sibling- something we wanted for him. ❤️

If you're unfamiliar with our story:

- In 2014 we had a miscarriage at 15 weeks.💔

- Found out I have an 'incompetent cervix' 🙄 and would need a cerclage for future pregnancies.

- Six months later we were pregnant with Wyatt! ❤️

- Wyatt was born in July 2015.

- A few years later we started trying for another babe.

- It turned out to be a 2.5 year journey. In 2021, we took the summer off trying (I turnes 40) and our first month back in the game - boom. 💃 Pregnant!

- Two significant scares in my pregnancy. 

- June 2022 - Noah arrives! 🤗🤗
