Wednesday Wow: Chicago Parent's Best of the Best

I almost didn't go.
Chicago Parent's Best of the Best Awards Night was last Thursday night in downtown Chicago.
That meant skipping out on Julie's dance class, dropping the kids off at Scott's work in Rosemont and driving into rush hour traffic.

But, I hardly ever am able to interact with colleagues, and I was excited to dress up a little and meet new people. I was so glad I went!

Not only did I chat with the heads of many Chicago organizations, but I was finally able to meet my awesome editors. It was such a great night!

We had our photos taken before we walked into the cocktail hour.

I decided to wear a dress I found at CWonder.com last year. My sister gave me the necklace for Christmas. It's from Charming Charlie. (Love the store!)  And, I finally got my hair cut---chopped off six inches or more!
