I'm Cara. Daughter of The King, wife to Mitchell, Mama to three of the coolest kids, and chaser of the sun. For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the hearts and stories of people. Not just what appears on the highlight reel, but the raw, unfiltered and unguarded narratives that aren't always shared so boldly.
