Premium Women’s Snow Boots With Pivoting Ice Grip – OLANG Canada

Life has been wild since my girls have gone back to school in September! I feel pulled in a million directions and prioritizing how to keep balance is difficult when you are constantly needing to be out of the house running to the bus stop for half day kinder and full day classes. Now that it has snowed, there are things like falling on the icy sidewalks that will dampen my day considerably!

I was doing my own research on removable ice grips to put on your boots, but then OLANG Canada reached out and I knew their boots were the best solution. I was immediately drawn to the Glamour boots, they are stunning!

These warm women’s winter boots are hand-crafted in Europe by a special work force. My favourite parts of the OLANG Canada Glamour boots are ALASKA outsole that allows the folding cleats to be hidden for regular wear or to pivot the 16 stainless steel studs for extreme weather.

Have you been to Edmonton in the winter? It’s extreme for 6 months of the year, and these are going to be perfect for it!

My husband, Matt, enjoys taking our family on snowy adventures to Edson, AB into the thick forest – having extreme cold weather women’s boots are essential for me to appreciate our winter wonderland family trips.

While these boots don’t prevent slipping on wet, slushy snow or slippery surfaces, they are going to get a lot of use with or without the ice grips!

Add these to your winter footwear collection to stay warm and safe while exploring the wintery outdoors!

#FallingForYEG With Ford Canada

What a grand adventure we had this weekend in Edmonton with Ford Canda! I was surprised it was not snowing yet, but we had lots of cold rain. The weather didn’t stop us from staying cozy while outdoors at Prairie Gardens (in Bon Accord, AB) enjoying our Harvest Bonfire reservation.

Check out this list of 5 awesome Edmonton Fall activities for the whole family!

When we arrived at Prairie Gardens the staff were so incredibly helpful! You only need a mask for going inside buildings, like the General Store. Otherwise, it is all outdoors, even the Harvest Bonfire!

There was a beautifully fall-decorated table with our food and desserts ready when we arrived! There was a covered fire beside the sheltered table to keep us warm. The bonfire was outside with chairs to relax, and cook your hotdogs and marshmallows. We also had a delicious variety of Prairie Garden’s fudge and cookies.

After we finished eating we had a tour of the grounds, we were able to visit the petting zoo where there were adorable baby bunnies to hold, and then had a memorable ride on the train with Mrs. B the conductor!

Thanks to Ford Canada we stayed warm and dry on the way home!

The 2021 Ford Explorer’s 4 wheel drive made our backroad drive smooth. I still love the assisted parking, extended sunroof, wireless phone charging pad, and seat belt feature on the display that shows you whose seatbelt is not buckled.

Fantastic Edmonton Fall Family Activity: U of A Botanical Gardens Walk

Looking for an Edmonton fall family activity? Plan a fun fall walk with the whole family at the U of A Botanical Gardens!

It’s not too late to take up this awesome opportunity at the University of Alberta Botanical Gardens – until October 11th, 2021 all kids and students (with valid Student IDs) are free admissions!

Looking for fun outdoor activities in Edmonton that do not require masks? Check out Hannah's, from the popular Edmonton blog Honey & Betts, suggestion of the University of Alberta Botanical Gardens! Until October 11th all kids and students are free! Check out this cheap fall activity!

As of October 6th, masks are only required inside the buildings. The outdoor cafe is open – we treated ourselves to a cracker plate, Meuwly’s mild pepperoni sausage, an Italian Centre veggie sub, and a coffee. I loved seeing so many local options, and the cracker plate came with some delicious spicy jams.

With 4 kids ranging from 2 years old to 8 years old, we were able to complete all the garden walks in 2 hours. We visited the Botanical Gardens early on a weekday and there was no one there, the kids were able to be rowdy and run around freely. We greatly enjoyed our fall walk together!

You can book your time slot to arrive online before your visit, advance admissions are required!

Great Baby-Friendly Edmonton Indoor Play Place You Must Try!

Looking for an Edmonton play place that you will not lose your baby or toddler in? A play place that you can relax with a latte and crunch out some work on the computer? It’s hard to find clean and cute play places like that where your toddler can feel safe and secure but also independent. We found a place like that in Edmonton – it is Pom Pom Play Cafe!

Looking for a cute, modern Edmonton play place for your babies 1st birthday? Check out Pom Pom Play Cafe in South Edmonton! Hannah, from the popular Edmonton mom blog Honey & Betts, shares the delicious menu, the recommended ages, and photos of the fun play place! Check it out!

It is so cute, so modern! There are two levels to Pom Pom Play Cafe – on the main floor are lots of climbing toys, kitchen and home toys, and sitting inside the baby gate by the front counter. On the main level, there is also seating for eating outside the baby gate at the bar table, where your kids can see you.

On the upper level is a stairway, with double baby gates at the bottom and top, to the younger baby and toddler play area. There is also seating and tables up on the second level.

There are two large individual bathrooms accessible on the main floor with baby changing tables.

I loved the menu at Pom Pom Play Cafe! So many options – they have homemade-looking cake pops, baked treats, sandwiches, fresh waffles, smoothies, and a whole coffee menu. I tried the iced latte and it was delicious!

The admission prices are so reasonable! The awesome part is this Edmonton play place is specifically for younger children. The age limit is 5 years and under, though children that are 6 years old and up are welcome to inside the seating areas and sit. There are typically tablets at Pom Pom Play Cafe that they will sign out for your older children – check their website for any questions on ages!

A few things to keep in mind before you check-in or go to Pom Pom Play Cafe:

  1. No strollers are allowed inside.
  2. Sign the waiver online before you go, must be done for each child attending.
  3. Socks must be worn inside, shoes are removed at the front doors. Socks are for sale at the front if you forget them at home!
  4. No outside food or drink, beside water, is allowed inside.

Overall I am so impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness, and interior of Pom Pom Play Cafe! We will definitely be back! And I hope they have big dreams to open another play place location in St. Albert one day soon!
