There's more here than a giant dinosaur and world-class museum! ๐Ÿฆ–

When I took over Alberta Mamas there was a small post about Alberta's roadside attractions - about 20 spots and a few photos.

It was such a fun topic that I started digging deeper. I tracked down more locations, mapped them out, and made plans to get photos...

Fast forward to today... that list has ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€, and it keeps growing!

Now itโ€™s become a family tradition. We bring our Alberta Landmarks checklist on road trips and stop whenever weโ€™re near one (and sometimes we plan a whole outing just to find a few more!).

Alberta Mamas

Welcome to Alberta Mamas! A page full of inspiration, stories and experiences for parents living across our province.

Alberta Mamas is an empowering online community for parents in Alberta created by parents in Alberta. Kimberly, Chris, Deanne, Nicola, and Christine are motivated by their love of their families, each other, and an unhealthy appetite for travel, camping and adventures. They come from different walks of life and found their stride together within Alberta Mamas and as best friends.

Alberta Mamas is the passion project of their dreams and for that reason, working together to run it is simple for these ladies. Collectively, they have experience in social work, communications, education, real estate, event planning, and customer service. On top of that, theyโ€™re all raising children and it was motherhood that brought them together.
