Bledsoe-Williams Wedding by Blaire Bledsoe Williams | February 21

“Wren and I have gone through life’s biggest moments together. From turning 16 and getting our driver’s licenses to cheering each other on at all of our high school sporting events, going to the senior prom together, and walking across the stage together as Arkansas High School graduates. We both went to the University of Central Arkansas together, made so many fun memories, and met great friends from all over the United States. The Power of Believing in Someone by Chase Brewster | March 7 “Years of trying to inspire everyone around me have led me to believe that if one article, or one interview, can impact even just one person, then it is worth sharing. I hope that my story is inspiring to someone and will help motivate them to chase their dreams.” Local or Lose it by Jasmine Bruce | November 7 “The next time you’re looking for something special, refer back here to discover an array of local gems Texarkana offers for all our fashionistas. You might be surprised by the treasures you’ll find and the impact you’ll make on your beloved city. Remember the saying, ‘Use it or lose it?’ When it comes to shopping, support local businesses or risk losing them!” Out of the Mouths of Babes by Lesli Flowers | May 2 “I greatly advocate reading what you love, no matter your age. Magazines? Newspapers? Comics? Literary Novels? Subtitles? Fine by me. Reading is reading, so let’s get rid of the egocentric stigma. It thrills my soul that my three children have found books that interest them.” College Advice by Delia Tuttlebee | August 15 “Remember that you have to be a friend to make a friend. You should seek to know others, even when feeling desperate to be known. You should prepare to find the good, even if you wish you were elsewhere. You should keep visiting churches. You should cry and struggle and pray. And within it all, you should anticipate that there will be new, unique people who will mean more to you than you can imagine. You should know that you still mean a lot to the people you leave.” Bougie Grubs Hibachi Bowl by Angela Evans | April 11 This recipe is one of our personal favorites.
