Unforgettable Year
Hi, I’m Sarah.
When my oldest son entered his senior year, I found plenty of resources for students… but almost nothing for parents.
Everyone told us how to apply to college. No one told us how to prepare our hearts for all the “lasts.”
The last first day. The last football game. The last school pickup. The last family traditions before everything changes.
I created The Senior Year Playbook so families like ours could slow down, celebrate intentionally, and make every week count.
Because senior year isn’t just about preparing for graduation… it’s about creating memories you’ll treasure forever.
❤️ Welcome to the journey.
“I wish I’d had this when my oldest graduated. It helped me slow down and truly enjoy senior year.”
