Modern Midwives

There is something sacred about life’s beginnings: the first breath, the first cry, the first time a mother locks eyes with the life she has carried. In those moments, time stands still. The world narrows into something both fragile and powerful. … As Mother’s Day approaches, we are reminded that every mother’s story begins somewhere, often with the compassionate presence of someone walking beside her. For some in our community, that presence is a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM).

Sacred Space

Located just outside the Highland Park historic district, this 1928 Tudor-style home stands as a quiet piece of Texarkana history, refined over time yet grounded in its original character. With nearly a century of stories behind it, the home has evolved with intention, blending tradition with a lifestyle that feels current and personal. … In December 1955, the home was dedicated as the rectory for St. James Episcopal Church, a gift from Gay Montague Moore in memory of her husband, Colonel Charles Beatty Moore, a West Point graduate who served in the United States Army.

Publisher's Letter

My oldest son, John Henry, just finished his freshman year on the Texas High varsity golf team. I had the opportunity to watch every bit of it, and I learned quickly that I did not know as much as I thought I did. Team golf is a different kind of pressure. Every shot belongs to more than just you, and you can feel that. … As a spectator, I had a few habits to break. You cannot talk to them, and you have to stay one shot ahead of the group. At district and regional tournaments, you cannot hand them a drink, a snack, or say a word.

Life on the Spectrum

The first signs were quiet. In fact, only a mother’s intuition could hear them. Long before there was a diagnosis, before therapy sessions and evaluations and unfamiliar medical terms, Jasmine Wilson simply noticed that her daughter experienced the world differently. … While other babies reached for cuddles or rocked peacefully to sleep, Kylee pulled away from touch. When her tiny hands should have been grasping Cheerios from a tray, hers struggled to coordinate the movement. Balance seemed uncertain, and sounds and textures overwhelmed her.

The Sarine Way

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. —Psalm 127:1 … For the Sarine family, that verse is not decorative sentiment—it is the story of how their home came to be. Nearly a decade ago, the Sarines had plans to build in an entirely different neighborhood. Those plans were set aside, and in time, they came to see that pause as a gift. “We originally planned to build a totally different house plan in a different neighborhood almost 10 years earlier, but the Lord had us put a pause on that home,” Emily Sarine reflects.

Sun-Drenched Style … Vacation style is less about following trends and more about embracing a mindset. It is the wardrobe equivalent of exhaling. Light fabrics, relaxed silhouettes, and bright, tropical colors replace the structure of everyday life, creating looks that feel effortless and carefree.

Some things have a way of bringing everyone to the same place at the same time. For this region, the Four States Fair and Rodeo is one of those things. It does not matter how packed the calendar is or how many other obligations are competing for the weekend. When the fair comes to town, families show up. It has always been that way, and I hope it always will be. … My own fair memories start in Cass County, sneaking in every possible ride at the Atlanta Forest Festival before my parents came back to pick me up. And I do mean pick me up, because that is how it worked back then.

Cabin Culture

Tucked along the quiet edge of Grassy Lake in Fulton, Arkansas, this hunting cabin reimagines what a retreat can be. Rustic at heart yet refined in execution, the home balances lodge warmth with bold, modern lines that feel intentional and inviting. … Exposed wood beams stretch across soaring ceilings, while sculptural lighting and sleek black-framed doors blur the line between indoors and the surrounding timber. A live-edge island by East Texas Grain & Knot anchors the kitchen, paired with rich cabinetry and matte black accents.

This Is Madness

I don’t know what the month of March evokes in your head. Maybe corned beef? Windy days? Lent? Three things come to my mind when March approaches: squeaks, whistles, and buzzers. … Soon enough the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament, otherwise known as March Madness, will tip off, and for the next three weeks all we’ll hear will be squeaks, whistles, and those hideous buzzers. For me, the squeaks are the worst. I never notice them when I’m actually in attendance at a basketball game, but on television they sound out loud and clear, not to mention continually.
