And since I’m headed to Chi-Town for a few days full of fun and learning, I figured it was only fitting to throwback to my last trip to Chicago this past Fall with some of my closest, most favorite friends. After all, I have NO pictures to share from the I Teach K conference in Vegas and let’s be honest…I’m totally jealous of all the fun everyone’s been having this week!!! I’ve been living vicariously through snippets and precious pictures on Instagram…you can check ’em out at #2013vegasmeetup. I’m SO there next year!!!!
Anyway, here’s the original post where I talk all about meeting some of these sweet faces for the very first time. It was definitely a trip to remember! Can’t wait to head back to the Windy City this weekend and spend some QT with a couple of my sweet girls….oh, and present, too {GULP}.
And if you’re keeping up with the 12 days of Christmas in July, today is Day 11. Technically it’s Day 12, but I missed yesterday because our power went out and I was out of the house all day. SO. Head on over to FB to see the deal of the day!

Let me just tell y’all…last weekend *might* have been the most fun I’ve had in a LONG while. I *finally* got to put voices to these sweet faces that I’ve been chit- chatting with for months now!!

Wanna throwback with us?! Link up with an “old” post…even if “old” is only a couple of months ago 😉 Can’t wait to see what I’ve been missing!!!

I guess I'm a little behind on the times! I want to go to a conference! 🙂 You'll do great at presenting Cara. But I totally feel your pain… public speaking to adults is HARD! Give me a room full of 6 year olds any day. Have a great time!
I really enjoy linking up with you for TBT- it's totally a great idea!

Hi Cara,
Really random comment. I live in Alberta, Canada and we have a channel called HGTV. House Hunters is on right now and I am SURE that you are on my television right now, looking at houses in Houston. I may be really behind in your life and you may have already talked about being on the show, but it's so cool to be watching you and hubby as your sister watches your boys. Off to see which house you picked. Just had to write!
