Here at Peekaboo, we love telling stories that inspire our community.

We don’t always get to see the full impact that those stories have, but recently, we heard one of the craziest full-circle moments and can’t wait to share it with you.

Last September, we shared this story about James Lampkin, a Walmart exec who decided to risk it all and pursued his lifelong dream of joining the Army National Guard.

A year later, we’re sharing the story of Matthew Stevens, who read James’ story and was so inspired by it that he decided to pursue his own military dream.

Read his story of service, sacrifice, and never giving up on a dream!

Golf season doesn't have to end when school starts back up.

Across Northwest Arkansas, junior golfers have more ways than ever to pick up a club — from first-time lessons with a PGA coach to team leagues, statewide tournaments, and $5 rounds that make it easy for any kid to get on the course. So whether your kid just wants to have fun or is dreaming of their first trophy, there's a program built for where they're at.

We rounded up six opportunities for junior golfers in Northwest Arkansas, wherever they fall on the fairway.

Not long after becoming a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist, Ashley Carson began seeing women who came to her for brow restoration before chemotherapy or after losing their brows to treatment.

The conversations that followed, about surgery, reconstruction, and the scars left behind, stayed with her, and eventually led her to pursue certification in scar revision and restorative 3D areola tattooing.

Now, at ACQUA + Ink, she helps women complete that final chapter of reconstruction, recreating the areola through carefully layered color and dimension, tailored to each woman's skin tone and anatomy.

Her aim is a tattoo so natural it simply feels like it belongs, offering one last step toward normalcy after the medical work is done.
