The Senior Year Playbook
You only get one senior year. Don’t spend it wondering if you’re doing enough. The Senior Year Playbook helps first-time senior parents celebrate every milestone, prepare for what’s ahead, and create memories that last long after graduation.
Join hundreds of parents choosing to slow down, celebrate intentionally, and make senior year unforgettable.

Hi, I’m Sarah.
A first-time senior mom who quickly realized there wasn’t a roadmap for parents during senior year. So I decided to create one.
Every week I’ll help you prepare for milestones, celebrate the little moments, and make memories your family will treasure forever.
❤️ Welcome to the journey.

The heart behind the Playbook
“As a mom navigating senior year myself, I quickly realized there wasn't one place that brought together timelines, traditions, planning tools, and encouragement. I created The Senior Year Playbook to help families slow down, stay organized, and truly enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime season.”
