Spirit of Spring Fashion Show 2017

May 16, 2017 By Kari 3 Comments

Spirit of Spring Fashion Show-1Wyatt and I were honoured to be part of the Spirit of Spring Fashion Show in support of McDougall House. I joined my friend Beryl Bacchus of Bacchus Events Group in styling and producing the fashion show. Wyatt and I also got to walk the runway together. In all, more than $50,000 was raised for a great cause!

Spirit of Spring Fashion Show-2Spirit of Spring Fashion Show-3McDougall House is a safe, second-stage residential facility in Edmonton that empowers women in recovery from addictions. Their unique programs support women through their healing journey, providing mentorship leading to positive change. This fashion show and luncheon is crucial in helping McDougall House meet its commitment to those committed to turning their lives around.

Spirit of Spring Fashion Show-4It was my little guy’s first runway show, and I was so proud of him! Wyatt strutted all the way to the end of what turned out to be a very long catwalk, took off his hat, and waved to everyone in attendance. His call time was right when he would have been napping, so I was even more impressed he held it together.

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.

🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a frien 🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a friend who could use some laundry help. 🤗

➡️ Do you hate laundry? Love it? I love washing and hanging. My husband is definitely better at folding. ❤️

Tip 1️⃣ has been a game-changer. Fresh laundry and no stinky clothes that have been sitting too long. I schedule mine to end when our baby naps so I can get to it right away. 

Tip 2️⃣ if you want wrinkle-free clothes that don't wear down as quickly - take your clothes from the wash and throw in the dryer for 5-8 mins only and then hang to dry. I do this for everything but stuff that is workout pant or bathing suit material (that goes straight on the rack).

The little time on the dryer is just enough to take the wrinkles out without shrinking or compromising the longevity of your items.

Towels, blankets, and sheets do go in the dryer for a full round. 

Did this help?
