Recently, we came across the quote “When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.”

How true. If you’re like us, your story is still unfolding just as it should although some days seem to be written in all caps. With lots of exclamation points.

We are so excited about rebranding and naming our digital magazine, 3W Lifestyle. Trés Lifestyle is no more, but that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on content. We’ve been dreaming about and planning the rebranding of 3W Lifestyle for quite some time now. And as with any new venture, we quickly learned to pilot our plane through some pretty stormy weather. But if you stay the course and never let go of your pen, we found you get to add a lot of color to your story.

Within this issue, you’ll find lots of color (specifically Razorback red) as we got the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a Razorback football coach’s wife. You can read their story beginning on page 34. Moving into a new school year definitely brings an exciting season of life. As moms, it’s one we look forward to each fall. Talk about starting a new chapter!

As we move into our eighth year of business, we found it was time to freshen things up around here too. Our “book” was due for a new cover, so we redesigned our website.

And speaking of new, we’ve got several beautiful additions to our dream team. You can see our charming crew on our Meet the Team page. We’ve enjoyed bringing 3W Lifestyle to fruition so you’ll have to let us know what you think! Email us at inspire@3wmagazine.com.

So, join us in transitioning into fall … and another sweet season of life. Here’s to starting new chapters. Here’s to writing your own book. May you write every word with authenticity and a heart full of gratitude. You can read our story too (told in pictures) on Instagram. 1

24hours withTina Winham

team leader of nuk & president of the junior league of northwest arkansas

5 a.m. Lexy’s adorable puppy wakes me up every morning when I’m not traveling. I’m initially annoyed but how can you not love this cute little face!

5-8 a.m. I wake up, spend an hour or so on email, read most of my news online, eat a quick bowl of oatmeal and spend time with Jeff and Lexy. I typically run on high-speed for the rest of the day, so I enjoy our morning routines. There is no average day for me; there is always a never-ending and always-changing list of things that must be done during the day.

9:30 a.m. Starbucks is the quintessential meeting spot in NWA! Meet and explore fresh business ideas. It’s also a great spot to meet with our nonprofit agencies to discuss how our NUK team can partner to improve our local community.

11:30 a.m. Lunch with my mentor to discuss progress on initiatives and gain further insight. If you don’t have a mentor... get one! And don’t forget to pay if forward and be a mentor!

22

1 p.m. Visit a local Walmart. We are putting a lot of effort into our American made initiative, and it’s exciting to see our products transition and hit the shelves.

3 p.m. Review business strategy, make adjustments and check in with stakeholders.

5:30 p.m. If possible, I try to wrap up the day around this time and have dinner with Jeff and Lexy. I'm a terrible cook but fortunately Jeff is a great cook!

7 p.m. Now that I’m the President of the Junior League of Northwest Arkansas, most of my evenings have been spent in meetings preparing for a great year!

9 p.m. Before I go to bed I've learned a trick and that is to ALWAYS take a quick look at my schedule for the next day! I identify the best way to route my time, how to dress and what has to be accomplished.

11 p.m. Good Night!23

northwest arkansas children’s shelter cooks up food classfor teenagers

cookingmatters

Seven teenage girls learned how to cook, understand nutrition labels and more during the Cooking

Matters for Teens class in June at the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter.

During the school year, the six-week course features a lesson taught one day every other week. However, there is a boot camp setting offered in the summer, which is a class every day for a week, volunteer instructor Vicki Mansker said. Cooking Matters helps families to shop for and cook healthy meals on a budget, as part of Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign, according to cookingmatters.org. Cooking Matters for Teens teaches teenagers how to make healthy food choices, meals and snacks for themselves, their families and their friends, said Linda Phillips, director of development at the children’s shelter. They also learn proper knife techniques, reading ingredient labels and making healthy choices on a limited budget.

Mansker said the first lesson focuses on the suggested portions of fruits and

25

vegetables, proteins, grains and dairy. They learn how to build their plate, whether it is going through a buffet line at the shelter or eating at a restaurant, she added.

The second class is on fruits and vegetables and opening up their palate to try new foods, and the third lesson is about fiber and whole grains. They then take a tour of a grocery store for the fourth lesson, learning about seasonal fruits and vegetables, calculating prices by unit and comparing prices between fresh, frozen and canned items. During the shopping trip, one of the students said her favorite part of the day was learning about how much fat and sugar people put in their bodies if they don’t eat the right foods.

The fifth lesson teaches the teenagers to eat out and make choices in restaurants, determining fat grams and getting nutritional information from the menu. The final class is a makeover meal where they make their favorite meal using healthier choices, but

the children’s shelter has modified this lesson, having the teens team up to

come up with snacks using common ingredients found in a pantry,

Mansker said. The participants leave the class with a cookbook

and a cutting board.

Mansker said the more today’s kids know about foods and their food choices,

“the healthier they are going to become.” She said she hopes something from the course will stick with them, whether it’s reading the labels to find out how much sugar is in something or picking up a cooking technique that they will remember later in life.

“

“My biggest hope is that [these girls] will be able to take care of themselves once they leave the shelter through cooking, through being able to prepare a meal for themselves and probably for whatever family they end up with.

fun!scott family amazeum council of educators

brings ideas to life

“ “M indy Porter wants the Scott Family Amazeum to be more

than just a museum for the community. “We want to be truly built by the community,” said Porter, director of education

at the museum. How can the museum involve the community every step of the way in developing its programs, exhibits, experiences and membership programs? Porter said the donors and funders are obviously big components of this, but how does the museum get the community involved in a truly authentic way that allows community members to contribute to the Amazeum?

One way is the Amazeum Council of Educators. The Amazeum Council of Educators is a group of about 30 administrators and educators from all across Northwest Arkansas, Porter said.

The purpose of the council is to give the museum candid insights into what’s going on in the school districts and to help inform decisions the museum staff makes regarding multiple areas, from teacher-professional development to field trips. The Amazeum is a hands-on museum for children and families, featuring 50,000 square feet of exhibit, meeting and learning spaces, according to the Amazeum website, amazeum.org. The pillars the Amazeum is built on and strives to impact on guests are three C’s: curiosity, creativity and community.

we want to be truly built by the community.

Mindy Porter, director of education at Amazeum, third from left in back, gathers with many of the Amazeum Council of Educators. The members include Bradley Webber, Jenna Gill and Lisa Davis, in front row, and Jonathon Mills, Kathy Prophet, Dr. Virginia Abernathy, Sunny Lane, Kristen Herbert, Beth Pesnell, Dr. Connie Matchell, and Melissa Miller.

30

The council members are from all of the major school districts in Northwest Arkansas, featuring members representing preschool children through high school students, Porter said. Council members include superintendents, principals, assistant principals, teachers and curriculum specialists. There also are various subject areas represented, from elementary teachers who teach all subjects to art teachers.

“It really is a great cross section of the public school system here in Northwest Arkansas having a voice on this council,” Porter said.

Since the museum staff wanted to have representatives from all of the major school districts, they started at the top level with superintendents and principals, asking for recommendations on who they thought would best

represent their district and the best person to serve on the council, Porter said. Then staff members selected people they heard speak at different school board meetings who had passions that aligned with the passion of the Amazeum. Napoleon Dezaldivar, fifth- and sixth-grade art educator at Old High Middle School in Bentonville, said he was invited to the initial Council of Educators meeting last year by one of his district representatives.

“I jumped at the opportunity because I wanted to work with and share ideas with the Amazeum to grow as a teacher and transform my classroom environment,” Dezaldivar said.

The council helps the museum understand the strengths and weaknesses of all the districts and how the Amazeum can come alongside

Council members play in the Grand Ballroom at the Amazeum. 31

leaders know that STEM is important and encourage individual schools and

teachers to pursue this. The council members would like to see a plan happen, and they want to see the Amazeum be a conduit for brainstorming these things, working across districts to really provide meaningful, hands-

on ways of doing STEM education, equipping teachers and providing field trip opportunities for kids to come out and experience that, Porter said.

Tonya Woods, assistant principal at T.G. Smith Elementary School in Springdale, said she is “honored to be a part of a council (that) can collaborate and help formulate ideas to help serve the needs of the public school children who will get to visit the Amazeum.” She looks forward to being on the forefront of planning field trips, discussing curriculum needs

the districts to help the schools with their learning objectives, Porter said. It also helps the museum to form deep, meaningful partnerships with area schools. Porter added that the council members have been the main drivers of getting the museum into certain districts and schools, forming partnerships and relationships, and working on projects, even before the museum opened its doors to the public. With the help of this council, the museum is developing programs, field trips and professional development that will be helpful and true needs that will impact students’ learning, she said.

Porter said one need that sticks out is the need for STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math). At one of the first council meetings, members discussed that STEM education is not an initiative or organized plan district-wide. District

“ “...there are different ways students learn.

Amazeum Council of Educators join hands and touch different areas of the machine to change the colors of the lights.32

and simply deciding what children will take away from this experience. Before she became an administrator, Woods taught middle school science and attended many national and regional National Science Teachers Association Conferences around the country.

“I was always impressed by the cities that had hands-on science museums

and fervently wished we had something of that nature for our students here in Northwest Arkansas. When I found out about Amazeum, I felt I could somehow contribute to this becoming a reality by being a part of this council,” Woods said. “Many of our poverty and ESL learners might never have been able to encounter the educational opportunities afforded through the hands-on experience Amazeum will have

to offer them were it not for the school-based field trips.”Teacher-professional development, especially a solid science base, was identified as another need. This includes looking at inquiry-based teaching methods, Porter added, noting that many schools want to put in tinkering studios and have open-ended exploration. The schools and educators are looking to the Amazeum to guide them with that, she said. For Old High Middle School Principal Jeffrey Wasem, being on the council means “professional growth and understanding there are different ways students learn.”“As educational professionals, it is our responsibility to explore these and invest in engaging and relevant learning tools for teachers and students,” Wasem said. 1For more information, visit www.amazeum.org.

36

If you’re like us, you love watching The Real Housewives on Bravo. So we sat down with the wives of nine Razorback football coaches to find out what life is like outside the locker room. Even as fabulous as they are, these ladies know how to keep things real. From work-life balance to favorite plays on the field and go-to cocktails, we have all the answers here.

37

Q&A’sWhat’s your favorite part about being a Razorback coach’s wife?Amy: Passionate families.Jen: Who doesn’t want to be part of the SEC?

What are your responsibilities as a football coach’s wife?Jen: Many of us are the CEO or CFO of the home, taking care of the day-to-day things that need to get done. I don't think my husband even knows how to operate our washer and dryer. True story. Right now, I’m trying to help him schedule dentist and eye appointments. Some of us also have kiddos, so we’re mom and dad for several months.Karyn: We keep track of a lot of things around the house. In our home, I pay all the bills.Jennifer: My husband hasn’t mowed the grass in seven years probably ... or longer! (Everyone laughs and agrees)Jackie: You have to be a strong woman. Everyone at this table right now can bring it. In fact, we all lean on each other because of the great support system we’ve built. Jane: I’m a freelance writer and I write at night because I have time to focus then. I think that with the work/life balance, we all wear a lot of hats. The mom one is the most important to me, and then being a wife.

Are there certain standards you’re upheld to as a coach’s wife?Jackie: Jen is in the spotlight much more.Jen: I’m not sure about being held to certain standards, but it's important to remain positive at times when people can be negative.

Jane Enos and Amy Smith laugh during a fun conversation

The wives share a toast at Ruth's Chris Steak House

38

Have your kids had any unique opportunities with the football program?Janelle: We get to go to Sunday night family dinners with the team; fly to bowl games; and my boys love attending practice.Karyn: They get to go to first-grade camp when they’re in kindergarten.Jennifer: The bowl experience is huge for the kids.

What’s your game day attire?Jackie: A baseball hat.Belinda: I’m pretty superstitious. I’ve got three bracelets that my husband has given me, and I’ve worn them every game day. And a baseball hat.Amy: If we win, I’ll wear that same outfit the next game. Jen: Something red, of course!

As a coach’s wife, are you expected to know everything about football?Jamie: No, and that’s a good thing! (Everyone laughs and agrees)Jen: I usually learn something new every game. It could be so little, like a rule or what a play looks like in person. There’s not an expectation to know everything, but I do watch the game. It’s not a social hour for me. My focus is on the field.Jennifer: I help my husband grade film either Saturday after the game or Sunday morning after church, which has taught me a lot.

Who’s your favorite current or former Razorback football player?Jamie: Denver Kirkland, Sebastian Tretola and Dan Skipper. Jackie: We love them all.Janelle: My husband, because he played at Arkansas. *Barry Lunney Jr. was the starting quarterback from 1992-95 and also team captain in 1995 when the Razorbacks played in the SEC Championship game for the first time in school history. His grandfather also played football at the University of Arkansas.

Do you have a favorite football play?Belinda: An interception! (Everyone laughs)Jen: Scoop and Score. Pick Six. Any fake or trick play is my favorite ... when executed and it's successful.

What’s your favorite part of living in Northwest Arkansas?Jamie: I love being close to family. We’ve been at 14 schools and this is the first time I’ve been an hour and a half from my family and an hour and a half from Sam’s family.Jane: The weather! After several years in Michigan, it’s awesome. And you just can’t beat the Southern hospitality.Janelle: I love the area because people are so nice here. Jen: I agree with Janelle, everyone is so friendly. It’s the people that really make Northwest Arkansas a great place to live.

For those new to the Razorback football program and Northwest Arkansas, what are you most looking forward to?Jennifer: So far, just the fan base embracing us and being a part of SEC football since we came from Oklahoma State and the Big 12.Jane: I’m just really looking forward to the first game because the spring Red-White game was so exciting.

What is your dream job, real or fictitious?Jane: I would be the editor of Vogue.Karyn: I’d probably go back to selling real estate.Jen: Maybe interior design, but I don’t know …I’d still want to be surrounded by football.

we all lean on each other because of the great support system we've

built.

What is your go-to cocktail, wine or beer?Jackie: I’m a vodka girl.Jen: Ditto. Vodka, water with a twist of lemon.Jamie: Me too, but with cranberry.Belinda: I like Southern Comfort.Amy: A really good Bloody Mary.Karyn: Rum and Coke.Jennifer: If I drink, it’s a rum and pineapple.Janelle: Riesling.Jane: I love a good red wine.

Do you have a game day/week tradition or ritual?Jackie: Mostly for away games, I don’t get together with other people to watch the game.Jennifer: I have to shower before ESPN College Game Day comes on and then I have to watch the whole ESPN College Game Day.Jen: ESPN College Game Day definitely has to be on. For home games, I drive Bret into work the morning before and then drive to the game by myself the next day. I always call my best friend and we usually talk about the upcoming game.

Jane: I get my nails done the day before the game.Amy: At home games, my kids and I go see Dad before the game and then go to our seats. If an away game is going bad, I start folding laundry.Karyn: We go down to the field and give Dad a hug and kiss.Jamie: I honestly don’t think about it or get nervous until I sit in my seat.Belinda: For away games, I usually hide in my closet. (laughing)Janelle: Going on the field prior to the game so the boys can watch the players warm up and run out of the tunnel.

What’s your favorite local restaurant?Jen: Table on the Hill, Greenhouse Grille, Theo's Red Kite Coffee and of course Bliss Cupcakes.Jennifer: Theo’s.Jamie: Chuy’s, Mojitos Mexican Grill and Sonic.

T he ladies were quick to give Jen credit for her generosity and told us how every year she gives each of the wives a gift. She’s given them necklaces

and bracelets with their initials, red handbags, and even taken them on a wives’ trip. Every year Jen and Bret host an appreciation dinner for all the football wives. “She treats us when we go out and travel with the team,” says Jackie. “She’s awesome like that. We all eat together and go shopping. We go in the direction of what the head coach’s wife does.” Jen laughs, “And I go in the direction of what my husband says.” Jackie adds, “Coach Bielema is extremely generous to all of us too. And Jen makes sure we have a day or so when we can all get together for coffee or an early dinner during the season. And we usually don’t even talk about football!”

24hours withAnna Cottrellowner of

lola and tulip louise8 a.m. Wake up, roll over to nightstand and put on some tunes (currently on deck: Mr. Marvin Gaye). Music always helps me ease into the day.

8:15 a.m. Check email and social accounts before even getting vertical — this helps me mentally prepare for the day ahead, before even hopping in the shower and getting dressed.

9:30 a.m. Pick up a coffee from my favorite neighborhood mini coffee shop, Baba Boudan’s. They know my order before I even speak a word (which considering I’m not a morning person is extremely helpful).

10:30 a.m. Phone date with my west coast buying partner Jade to go over incoming orders, employee happenings and get an update from her on our Lola — La Jolla, Calif., locale — aka this girl and I are in constant contact.

11 a.m. Run by the shop to pick up bank deposit and dry cleaning, then head to a financial meeting with our CPA. We try to meet at her office once every other month to review big picture budgets, planning, expenses, inventory and sales performance for all locations (Arkansas, California, shoplola.com).

1 p.m. Time to eat a snack in the car on my way to an in-home personal styling appointment. At Lola, we offer a full-service styling menu to our clients — ranging from creating everyday looks, purging outdated pieces and even packing assistance for travel.

4 p.m. Meet with our photographer to make image selections from the in-house photo shoots we hold every other week — as the company’s creative director, any photo Lola runs has been hand selected by yours truly.

5 p.m. Meetings with my creative team to review e-commerce happenings, up and coming shoots, ad deadlines, press opportunities, social media highlights and brainstorm upcoming in-store events.

6:30 p.m. Time to decompress on the patio with a glass of wine for a minute before cozying up on the couch with my laptop and phone around 8 p.m.

12 a.m. I have always been a night owl. This is definitely when my mind works the fastest. It also is the time I’m not having questions fired off in my direction, so it’s the ideal time to get caught up on my blog (@tuliplouise) or email.

living spaceswith monica diazPrincipal Interior DesignerHSE Decore Interiors LLC

A s we welcome the fall season, I am looking forward to one of my favorite design

events of the year. Twice a year, the Las Vegas Market provides a 5,000-square foot venue for vendors, designers and shoppers alike to see what’s new and on-trend for the upcoming season. The Aug. 2-6 market will be no exception. Since its inception in 2005, the market has become one of the foremost

home furnishing marketplaces in the west. With comprehensive displays featuring furniture, home decor and more, Las Vegas Market is the perfect place to discover new trends. I am looking forward to exploring the market and am excited to share with you my predictions for some of the trends that will be highlighted. 

One of the key features that I will be looking for at the market will be an emphasis on Asian-inspired prints, textiles and ornate features. I was inspired by the incorporation of patterns into the living room (pictured). The repetition of an Asian tree print ties together the room. Complementary prints on the sofa and decorative panels recall beautiful cherry blossom trees, while upholstered chairs tie in the colors of the blossoms with the rest of the room. 

I’m loving the idea of combining neutral woods with clean white paint. The side table shown in the picture features clean lines yet catches the eye with its contrasting colors. This particular side table’s geometric shape conjures up images of pagodas; the designer’s choice to display delicate flowers on the table gives it an almost whimsical feel. Its unique feet make it a truly standout piece, while its neutral color palette makes it easy to incorporate in many different rooms. 

58

Asian cultures are rich with beautiful textiles and ornate metals. I love the inclusion of these touches in our homes. The unique yet complementary prints in this sitting room (pictured) create a luxurious feel. The key to combining prints? Make sure your

prints feature complementary shades within the same color family. These muted blue tones work together perfectly. If your color palette is complementary, it is possible to create pattern combinations that are uniquely your own. Don’t be afraid to combine geometrics with florals!

Looking to add embellishment to your room? Consider adding a pop of gold. The room pictured features gold touches in statues, lamps and door handles. Gold has been an essential part of design for centuries, and I love bringing gold touches into our modern homes. Based in New York, Crystorama is an innovative company designing modern-day lighting to complement your home’s style.

When it comes to furniture design, I will be looking for a strong use of geometric shapes at the market. Geometric patterns provide a modern way to tie together different furniture pieces and bring cohesion to your room. This room features a honeycomb pattern in both table and chest. With their neutral white tones, these pieces remain easy to work into your room, while still providing strong visual interest. I will be looking forward to sharing my experiences and what I’ve learned at market with you! 1

what's new in the bentonville

restaurant scene

1 The first stop was Blu Fresh Fish Marketplace for an early lunch of fish tacos and hushpuppies. It was delicious and the presentation on London newsprint gave an authentic touch. They have

all the fresh seafood you could ever imagine. Literally. We saw fish and lobster swimming in tanks inside the restaurant, but the outdoor patio is the place to sit.

2 From there, we moved to Pedaler's Pub for pizza and drinks. We decided on two tasty pizzas: half the Arkie/half the Pedaler and half the Single Speed/half the Italian. Our mouths were

watering, so most of the pizza was devoured before we could get a picture. The namesake pizza (The Pedaler) was topped with loads of cheese, chicken, spinach and green olives, all served over a tomato base sauce and thin crust. Not to be missed is the Bloody Mary – it was of the better ones we’ve tried. It’s nice and spicy with lots of accoutrements.

Benton County is quickly becoming a hot spot for new local restaurants

and a hip culinary scene. We didn’t want to miss out on all the fun, so our team spent an entire day tasting and sipping our way through Bentonville.

3 Our next location was Ramo d'Olivo Olive Oil, Vinegar & Wine Bar. After enjoying several glasses of wine and eating a spread of Brie, nuts, grapes and bread, we sampled

multiple flavors of olive oil and vinegar. Our favorite olive oils were ones featuring garlic, lemon or jalapeno, and the champagne mimosa vinegar was our top vinegar choice.

4 Oven & Tap was the last stop on our tasty tour. Because this is a farm-to-table restaurant, the menu changes often at this new locale. Named for its custom built wood-

fired oven and tap wall, we definitely recommend making a reservation. Some of the items we tasted that day were “fried mozz,” wood-fired edamame and stuffed bell peppers. Our team also had a glass of Rosé — one of the featured “wines on tap” — before we tried the fruity and refreshing Garden Mule, which consists of vodka, grapefruit, lime, rosemary and Maine Root Ginger Brew.
