Market News, Trendy & Kid-Friendly, and Controversial Ice Cream

April 13, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

Local Love List Edmonton-1

More Markets:

  • Exciting news for lovers of our local markets! Organizers of the 124 Street Grand Market just announced a second market will be added on Sundays. You can check out the popular market on Thursdays (starting May 10) on 108 Ave and 124 Street from 4-8 pm and then another market, run by the same crew, on Sundays (starting June 3) on 102 Ave and 124th from 11-3 pm!

Kid Friendly & Trendy: 

  • You have to eat here. We popped into one of Edmonton’s trendiest new spots, Biera in Ritchie Market, for my husband Ryan’s birthday the other night and had such a wonderful experience. Although they don’t seem to promote the fact that they are kid-friendly (I totally get it), the contemporary neighbourhood restaurant does make it painless for you to to bring your little one along. We were pleasantly surprised when we sat down and our server brought kid-friendly tableware (plate, cutlery, and cup) for our little man. Not to mention the food was seriously to die for.

Instagram-Worthy Ice Cream:

  • Sweet Jesus has officially opened near the food court in Southgate Centre, despite some controversy over its name. Those who signed a petition (which now has more than 12,000 signatures) believe the company is openly attacking the Christian community (more on that here). This is the ice-cream company’s first location outside of Ontario. For the next six days, $1 from each of their top-sellers will be donated to iHuman Youth Society.

Made Social:

Dine at a ‘Taste’ restaurant and 25% of the proceeds of the evening will go straight to HIV Edmonton!

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.
