🏡 Hometown & Heartfelt Stops
Places that feel familiar, grounding, and full of memories.
My high school—full of memories, growth, friendships, and the foundation of who I became. Being back here brought a wave of reflection and gratitude for how far life has taken us.
Northside High School
A familiar hometown stop—simple, nostalgic, and a reminder of everyday life growing up. Sometimes it’s the ordinary places that bring back the strongest memories. I remember hanging at the arcade playing games with friends.
Central Mall Fort Smith
We held our 30th high school class reunion gathering here for bowling, drinks, food, and laughter. A perfect mix of fun and nostalgia to close out the trip with friends. The event turned out better than we anticipated and had a huge turnout.

🍽️ Arkansas Eats I Always Miss
Comfort food, local gems, and flavors that feel like home, even my mom's home cook meal.
A fun stop for boba and coffee—perfect for a casual catch-up or mid-day coffee break. I enjoyed the OMT (milk tea with brown sugar, cream, boba, and pudding) and the Matcha-cha (matcha latte with brown sugar, cream, and boba)
Tu Tea Boba & Coffee | Fort Smith AR
Comfort food at its best. Warm, satisfying, and always a go-to when craving something familiar and filling.
Phở King
A favorite for flavorful dishes and consistency—one of those places you’re always happy to come back to.
Green Papaya - FORT SMITH
Sweet treats and baked goods that feel like home. A must-stop for dessert and something special to take with you.
Confectionately Yours
01.08.26: A fun coffee stop my daughter and I tried together—quick, casual, and perfect for a little mother-daughter break in between my meetings. Simple drinks, easy vibes, and one of those small moments that ended up meaning more than expected.
