Are You My Book Twin?

… I read a book last week that felt so personal to me. The words and phrases were so similar to what I've written in past book reviews that I worried mine could be misconstrued as plagiarism. In I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel (of Modern Mrs. Darcy), she writes at length about our reading lives and the joy of finding a book twin (someone who enjoys all the same books as you).

Let Your Light Shine

In Ms. Jessica’s class, we are learning what it means to “let your light shine.” We learned that Jesus calls us to let our light shine before others. In Matthew 5, he says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” We learned that when we follow Jesus, obeying his word and sharing his love with others, we are letting our light shine.

Diabetes: My Story

If I’m being honest, I didn’t know November was National Diabetes Awareness Month until Texarkana Magazine asked me to write about our experience with the disease. To my family and me, Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a part of our everyday life, so we don’t think about one particular month to be aware of it. We’re always aware of it. … Prior to March 14, 2022, I wasn’t always aware of T1D. I saw Ali Deal post a few times about her experience with her son, but I never thought her experience would apply to my child.

Our Place Changed Our Lives

November is a time of gratitude, a month where we pause to appreciate some of the most important unsung heroes among us—family caregivers. Most of these devoted individuals quietly shoulder emotional, physical, and financial burdens to ensure the well-being of their loved ones enduring a health journey. Two caregivers, Jean Phillips and Harriet Hopkins, share the blessing of finding the Alzheimer's Alliance Tri-State Area and Our Place Day Respite Center and how it changed their lives.

Home for the Holidays (kind of)

My siblings like to say my parents really started spoiling me after they left for college. I’m still not convinced I didn’t get the worse end of the whole birth order deal. James, Sophia, and I (in that order) are spaced out perfectly. With a little less than two years between each of us, we’ve spent most of our collective lives in the same collective stage–with the same neighborhood friends, involved in the same sports leagues or teams, and a part of the same youth group.

Instinct of the Heart

“There is no instinct like that of the heart.” —Lord Byron … Sometimes, you just have an instinct…a hard-to-describe, out-of-the-blue feeling that can get the ball rolling to lead your life down a path previously unseen. … We were blessed beyond measure with three precious sons. However, there was this feeling that someone was missing from our family. Adoption had crossed our minds in the past, but my husband and I were really unsure how to get started.

Local or Lose It

Working at Riffraff Boutique in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was definitely one of the highlights of my college years! I was a shopgirl and model there for four years and had the time of my life. Not only did I indulge my shopping addiction, but I also developed the ability to connect with all sorts of people. Working at a small-town boutique taught me so much about the industry, but most importantly, it showed me how important it is to shop locally! … Texarkana has transformed immensely since my high school days for the better!

A History in Halloween

Halloween, as we know it today, is a delightful blend of ancient traditions and more recent cultural influences. Its history is a fascinating journey through time, filled with spooky tales, colorful customs, and a dash of magic. … The origins of Halloween can be traced back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France.
