BostonandOzarks.com is an online publication devoted to home and living in Northwest Arkansas. My name is James Kevin Connell and I am a transplant to Northwest Arkansas from Dallas, Texas. I am Publisher and Editor-in-Chief at BostonandOzarks.com. After nineteen years here, it is surely, now, my home. If you love every minute here as much as I do, I think you will enjoy what we bring you here in BostonandOzarks.com.

From things for the home and home design, to recipes, outdoor living and lawn & garden, to the arts and local events, we try to give you a comprehensive look at the possibilities for those of us that call Northwest Arkansas home.

We hope you enjoy it.

Are You Growing Catnip or Catmint?

Walton Arts Center presents Dixie's Tupperware Party, February 19-24. Dixie Longate is a Tupperware Lady and plans to throw her first-ever Tupperware Party in Northwest Arkansas. But, they tell us, it's "not your grandmother's Tupperware Party." The focus for Dixie is not on the Tupperware, but on the party! It sounds pretty bawdy, so you should leave the kids at home for this one.

Tickets are $25 to $45 and available HERE.

Going Unsophisticated

Here's a great article from Southern Living.
