What to do in Edmonton with Kids | April 26-28

Glow jump and movie nights! What are you doing this weekend with the kids? One of our favourite things to do is search for free things to do with the kids during the weekend because it’s easy on the wallet and gets us out exploring the city.

The Children’s Mental Health Conference 
Hands up if parenting throws you for a loop with every stage (and even every kid). The only thing keeping me sane most days (along with caffeine) are the tools that I’m constantly learning – because like I said, it’s always changing. Books and articles are great, but the best parenting learning we’ve done has been in person, and in April you’ll have the chance to learn information to get you through whatever stage it is you’re at right now at the Children’s Mental Health Conference. Use this link to save $10 off of your conference pass and take in valuable sessions to get you through parenting at every stage.
