As much as I love Arkansas, sometimes it’s good to get out of the state and see how “the other side” lives. For my birthday weekend back in September, Ryan and I took a trip down to Dallas, Texas, mainly to watch the Razorbacks destroy Texas A&M, but also to spend some time getting acquainted…
Life isn’t always the kindest, is it? We get sucked into a routine of staying busy and running around that we rarely pause to appreciate the amazing things we have in our lives. Homes are something I feel many people take for granted as being a simple practicality. It’s where we live, raise our families…
I think we all know by now how much I love going to Hot Springs. No matter how many times I pop down there for a weekend, I always find something new to absolutely blow me away. The food spots in Hot Springs are always out of this world with special twists that tie into…
I’m sure every state says that their fair is the best, but we all know the other 49 states are lying. Arkansas, hands-down, has the best state fair, and it’s less than a month away. Some of my greatest memories are from going to the Arkansas State Fair, and I am ecstatic that, after a…
I could go on and on about all the things that make Arkansas unique — we really are a one-of-a-kind state.

The Little Rock Touchdown Club meets once a…
I will never get over how special we are to have Red Oak Steakhouse at Saracen Casino Resort right in our backyard. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve popped down to Pine Bluff for some exquisite food, and I fall more in love with every new dish I try. If you haven’t been…
There are two things I’m obsessed with: traveling and Al Capone. There’s one place in the state that I can have both at the same time, and that’s in Hot Springs. I learn something new about the city and its history every time I visit, so naturally, I make trips down there whenever I get…
As much as I enjoy traveling and trying new food spots, I don’t think I will ever find anything I love more than the local restaurants we have in Arkansas. There are too many favorites to count, but you know you’ve found something special when the staff remembers your order. A restaurant I probably frequent…
Photos by Jamison Mosley If you haven’t checked out AY About You’s August 2021 magazine issue yet, what are you waiting for? This issue is full of our favorite four-legged friends: dogs! Not to be biased, but the cutest dog can be found on the front cover (psst, it’s my best friend, Charlie Brown…
If there is one thing that we can all agree on, it’s that the summer, and even it’s alter-ego winter, makes us thankful for having shelter to keep us out of the weather. More importantly, I am thankful for having a roof that can keep out obliterating sun and these random heat showers Arkansas keeps…
