NEW ON MY BLOG I’m sharing the first of a post series titled “Food Crawl” where I write about a few different walking-distance restaurants you can visit in a specific neighbourhood as part of your very own food crawl itinerary! 🎉 The first itinerary features four spots in Chinatown, including of course my parents’ Vietnamese pho 🍜 restaurant @kingnoodlehouse! 🧡 Watch for more of these crawl recommendations and a general overhaul to how I present food reviews / posts on my blog. I’m switching to more of a useful guides or restaurants by neighbourhood / food type format featuring only great places I recommend, because you’re rarely ever asking me “hey, what places do you NOT recommend?” lol. 👌🏻 Tap the link in my bio to read this post, which also reminds you that Edmonton Chinatown Dining Week returns Jan 9-19, 2020! My friends @sharonxyeo & @freeyaa.f are part of the #EatChinatownYEG organizing committee and my parents’ restaurant is one of the 16 offering $18 multi-course dinners or $10 take-out items. Happy Friday!! 🤗

Thanks so much to the lovely and talented @dallascurow for taking one of my favourite photos 📸 of @mikethyking and I ever 💗, in front of one of my favourite Instagrammable Walls in Edmonton 🤳🏻 🎨 (by Clay Lowe, in @oldstrathcona), in one of my favourite pants by @siamurais! 😍

This photo shoot was for a project we’re doing with @ourjonrahevents this February!!! 🥰💗 I’m excited to share what it is next week!!! 🤗

👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 HELLO!

Happy New Year. 🎉

I figured now would be a good time to introduce myself to new followers & reintroduce myself to old! 🤗

My name is Linda! I was born and raised in Edmonton 🇨🇦 Alberta but moved just outside the city to Spruce Grove 1.5 years ago. 🏡 I still end up in Edmonton almost every day for work & play (a lot of my eating happens in #yeg & I love supporting local businesses!) If I’m not in & around Edmonton, I’m traveling! ✈️ 🚗 I love to travel—it’s primarily what I’ve been blogging about the last few years along with food adventures, though I‘ve been blogging in general for over a decade (check out my blog at the link in my bio). 🤗
I’m married to my best friend @mikethyking 💗 & our family also includes two dogs @oliveandartie 🐶 🐶 + two cats Thor & Loki 🐱 🐱. Mike & I have been trying to have a baby for 5 years. We have #UnexplainedInfertility so there isn’t a reason doctors can determine as to why we can’t conceive. We’re very open about our struggles and our fertility journey—we’re currently going through the Adoption process. 👶🏻 I’m a social media strategist 👩🏻‍💻 & run my own business where I help companies with strategies or deliver social media training. This comes after years working in journalism and the communications industry. I’m the founder of the Edmonton International Cat Festival 🐱 @yegcatfest, which returns May 30, 2020 & has raised $112,000 for cat rescues! 🐾

I love to find & photograph Instagrammable Walls (like this one! 🤳🏻) & lead #IGWallsofYEG + #yegfood tours. 📣 My parents also run @kingnoodlehouse 🍜! I’m fortunate my blog is at point where a lot of my business is through blog & social media partnerships! For instance, I’m a proud @telus ambassador! #TELUS_Partner. You’ll likely see different sponsored / partner posts on this feed but please know I take my partnerships very seriously so I won’t partner where it isn’t a fit for my values and my interests, & I make sure to always disclose partnerships!

I’m so grateful for your follow, likes, comments & DMs. 💗 And I look forward to connecting & sharing with you this year! Thank you! 😊 🎨 by @heart__bomb (#GraffitiAlley)

As we close out a decade and enter the next, inste

As we close out a decade and enter the next, instead of sharing my #Top9of2019, I wrote a decade in review—my #Top9oftheDecade (2010s)! 💗

It’s shockingly (or maybe not shockingly) simple, if you consider the adage about “the simple things in life.” You can tap the link in my bio to read the full post and reflection, plus decade difference photos 📸, but the Insta-coles notes version of some defining moments of the 2010s are:

1. A Decade of #MikeAndLindork 💗
2. A Near-Decade of Thor 🐱
3. Life with Loki 🐱
4. “We’ll never not have a beagle” 🐶
5. My sweet boy Artie 🐶
6. Unexplained Infertility & Adoption 👶🏻
7. Building a Career & Business 👩🏻‍💻
8. Instagrammable Walls 🤳🏻 & @YEGCatFest 🐱
9. “I’ll never rest till I’ve seen all I can see” (a decade of travel ✈️ 🚗).
This decade has been, for the most part, really good to me! I know that is not the case for many and I remind myself every day how lucky I am. My life is not without its challenges, but I am so grateful that when I look back on 10 entire years, what I see, what comes to mind, what stands out, is happy, is healthy.

If my next decade year-in-review looks pretty similar to this one—that I had great times with family (furry and otherwise), that I got to travel and explore, that I grew my work and got to be involved in fun, meaningful projects—I’d be pretty pleased.
Thank you for following along this past decade. Thanks to everyone who was a part of my last decade! I wish you a Happy New Year and a great 2020s! 🎉

We had a great dinner (and drinks! 🥂) at a prohibition era-inspired restaurant @the1911lounge in downtown Medicine Hat this weekend with our friends @jacknemo1 & Nicole! 🧡 The building the restaurant is in was built in 1911! There’s lots of great spots to explore in #MedHat, it was a nice little getaway but we are home now to ring in the new year in Edmonton! 🎇 I’ll be blogging about our Medicine Hat visit soon though, stay tuned! 🤗 #ExploreAlberta

Did you know: Alberta is home to some of the large

Did you know: Alberta is home to some of the largest sandstone rocks in the world! 😮 You can find these giant red, spherical boulders at the Red Rock Coulee Natural Park near Medicine Hat in southern Alberta. We’re in #MedHat this weekend visiting some dear friends and took a day trip to the #RedRockCoulee. ❤️🧡 Here you’ll find some rocks are over 2 meters in diameter! They are formed from shale, sandstone and sediment from a millennia ago when this land was the bottom of a prehistoric sea!!! And here we are today. So neat. #ExploreAlberta

Private pool ✔️ No reservation restaurants ✔

Private pool ✔️
No reservation restaurants ✔️
Not too busy = ample Instagrammable photo opportunities ✔️
These were just a few factors my @ama_travel agent took into consideration when helping us narrow down resorts for our Cancun, Mexico 🇲🇽 vacation! We also loved being able to pay for the trip in instalments versus all at once had we booked on our own. 👌🏻 NEW ON THE BLOG (link in bio), I write about a few benefits to booking your next Mexico 🌴 vacation with a travel agent! (Our experience booking with an agent was sponsored by AMA, our Mexico trip was not). Stay tuned for a few more travel guides specifically for our experience at #DreamsRivieraCancun! 😊
