Mother's Day and shopping go hand in hand. Heck, if you can go out and spend time with mom and do something fun for her it is even better. A fun-filled day is just what mom ordered. It is just what she wants.

Christmas traditions are important parts of family life and one fun family tradition is Christmas in the Gardens.

There's jazz, high noon, and there's even music in the garden.

Halloween is this weekend so there are a lot of fun events planned. You probably have the kids all lined out. There are Trunk or Treats, Fall Festivals, oh and of course trick or treating on Sunday.

Everything is pumpkin this time of year. Starbucks has their Pumpkin Latte's. Clean Juice has their pumpkin spices latte and The Pumpkin One smoothie. Oh and don't forget Pumpkin Pie Blizzards at Dairy Queen. That is to just name a few.

Before we let the month of June fade away there is another opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy some much needed fun in your life. I know the weather has been a bit toasty here in the Texas Panhandle but that is ok they are prepared for this.

As the weather is getting better and better the only thing we want to do is get outside. Here we are in May and finally the last couple of days finally we are seeing spring type weather. The weekend is here and we also want things to fill up our calendar.

If you have been missing the idea of getting out and enjoying fall events around the Texas panhandle, there is one event that you must check out.

For only $5 enjoy over 300,000 Christmas lights stung around beautiful plants and props to create a truly remarkable experience.

A Christmas tradition in Amarillo is going to see the beautiful lights in the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. The Gardens are decorated with over 400,000 lights. It's a beautiful sight to see, but changes are coming this year.

I love the saying in Alice in Wonderland where it says, "were all mad here". It's a mad world and its time to have fun celebrating the madness with an evening full of fun at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens.

Fall is a fun time in Amarillo. Football, the fair, the cooler weather and pumpkins. Pumpkins are the mascot of fall and the time is now to celebrate the pumpkin. The Amarillo Botanical Garden has the perfect way to celebrate fall and the pumpkin at PumpkinFest.
