Local and handmade
Over the next week I am taking part of a blog round up across Canada to showcase all of the local and handmade businesses that I love, support, and want to encourage people to shop from this holiday season (and always). Being a part of Entrepreneur Mom Now, a peer mentorship for women entrepreneurs has helped to connect me to many local businesses. Now more than ever it is important for me to shop locally whenever possible. Check out these awesome businesses!

You can find their items at several local businesses throughout Edmonton or you can shop online 24/7.
