graduation

Graduation hits different when you're the mom. Texas seniors are crossing the stage, and moms everywhere are grieving, celebrating, and learning to let go all at once.

Graduating soon? There's a way you can get free swag from some of your favorite brands.

Rain, rain, go away. I just want to graduate today!

I have had the conversation a bunch of times. We discuss some of the best backdrops here in Amarillo to have photos taken. I am surely not a professional photographer by any means but I did take my daughters Senior Pictures and more recently her Maternity Photos.

It's about that time of year when graduation ceremonies, well-wishes and job-hunting begin. Fountain pens and diamond earrings are wonderful and traditional graduation gifts but sometimes something practical can truly be the best option. So send off the graduate in your life with something they'll not only cherish and love because it came from you but they'll actually use on a regular basis!

It is crazy how fast this year is going by. I feel we have this conversation every year. It's not something just in our heads. Or maybe it is. I'm not even sure. I just know that we will kick off the month of May on Saturday.

Skip the yearbook ad and honor your 2021 graduating Senior with a giant banner displayed in downtown Amarillo's Center City!

It's actually a pretty interesting program.

The news immediately made me think back to earlier this year when everything went virtual or drive through.

They encourage everyone to find a spot along the route to watch, but do want remind everyone to maintain social distancing while enjoying the parade.

There are, of course, some guidelines everyone will need to follow.

It made me take a second to reflect on just how much the pandemic has changed things.
