Today, I leave for Alt!  This trip has been planned for months, and I can hardly believe the check-in date has arrived.  My bags are packed, my pencils are sharpened, and my senses are ready to soak in all the great knowledge that will most definitely be shared during this conference.  I'm beyond excited to spend some time with my 'hotel mates' ~ Alexis and Jeanne.  And I'll definitely have a case of the jitters when I finally get to meet two of my blogger favs ~ Karey and Joslyn

But my heart will remain in California, right where it belongs with my little family. This is the first time I'm leaving the crumb for more than a few hours, and folks, there is going to be some separation anxiety {all on my part I'm sure}. Obviously, she is in exceptional hands with Papa McDreamy, so my worries are few.  One thing I know for sure, I'm already looking forward to my return back to both of their arms and a continuous stream of kisses.

  13. Enjoy your trip! And, yes, it is perfectly okay to cry when you leave and after you hang up with the Little Crumb every night before she goes to bed. Just think of it as some special one-on-one time for Daddy and the little girl!

  22. Your photo with Miss Crumb is heart warming ♥ Just the thought of your reception from her when you arrive home makes me miss my kids as little people. The summit is going to be wonderful. I'm looking forward to reading more about it and your experiences Mel. Have a great time. I won't tell you to not worry, as it's hard not to.

    Cheers my dear xo Deb
