Relationship Classes

  • If you’re looking to improve your relationship with your spouse, there are two great upcoming workshops. One is a two-and-a-half day retreat on April 12-14 called “Fall in Love All Over Again”. Whether you are in the blissful romantic stage of the relationship or on the edge of separation/divorce, this weekend retreat is said to “change your relationship life”. More information here. 
  • The second is a workshop hosted by well-known local couple Amber and Jesse Kupina. Becoming, Conscious Relationships will go down Saturday, April 27 at Grant MacEwan University from 1-3:30 pm. During this seminar, Amber and Jesse will be sharing their personal stories, their past wounded relationships, and the love lessons that they have developed together through their own healing journies. Details and tickets here.

Discount Codes

  • In case you missed it – I added on a ‘Discount Codes’ section to KariSkelton.com. It’s where you’ll find discount codes (10-30% off) on some of our favourite things. The page will be updated on a regular basis, so be sure to keep checking back for new deals! Here’s the direct link but you can always find it on the right-hand side of my home page.

Cool Products For Dogs

  • I love following this account on Instagram! DogDog Goose out of St. Albert makes handcrafted dog collars and accessories and runs a pretty cool feed on Insta, with beautiful photos of dogs. Check them out!

Gibbard Block Update

  • We’re getting closer to seeing the finished product that is the Gibbard Block. The old La Boheme restaurant space in the Highlands neighbourhood on 112th Ave is being converted into three cool new establishments -a boutique liquor store called Highlands Liquor, June’s Delicatessen (a light-fare deli) and Fox Burger, a family friendly neighbourhood burger bar. The plan was to open all three at the same time but now the launches will happen in phases. Highlands Liquor will open in May, June’s and Fox Burger in June. Keep up-to-date here.

New Consignment Shop

  • There’s a hip new consignment shop coming to Jasper Ave this summer. In the meantime, while work on the new digs gets done, Mood Consignment is hosting a pop-up shop next Sunday, April 14 at Salon Blunt (11205 Jasper Ave). A few pieces from my closet will be up for grabs! Check them out on Insta here.

Dream Home

  • This craft room is my dream! You’ve got to swing by the Big Brothers Big Sisters Dream Home in St. Albert! This stunning 3200 sq ft. show home was designed by my friend, Interior Designer Navin Sidhu (@fab.hab on Insta). Find it at 30 Easton Close, in a new area behind the Costco. Details on tickets and show home hours here.

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey. 

👉 Head on over to KariSkelton.com for ‘Pregnancy Q&A: The First Trimester’ where I get into all of it. Link is in my bio.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
