Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Hog Tailgate

Well, I sure have been a slacker on the blogging this week! Isn't this just such a busy time of year? So much to do, so little time :)

This past weekend, as part of our Thanksgiving break, we got to see our beloved Arkansas Razorbacks play the LSU Tigers in Little Rock. It was a fantastic football game! But, one of the best parts was the tailgate we put together beforehand. Check it out:

It was very cute, if I do say so myself. I made that tablecloth out of green felt, hot-glued some sewing tape and some numbers on and voila! But I did not do all of this tailgate work by myself:

My dear friend, Lauren Strother and I did it together, along with the help of our great men. Hey, somebody had to get out there early in the am, wait in line for a spot, and set it all up! Thanks boys!

It was super fun. I predict that we'll do it again and again!

This pig is normally on top of my fridge, but he liked a change of scenery :)

We even had a TV out there! We had quite the little set up.

It also happened to be our friend Joanna's birthday, so we also had balloons and a cute pennant banner that Lauren made. Those balloons were handy when telling people how to find us!

Ahhh!! Alexis was there from NYC! Yes, she up and left and went to the big city. Who can blame her? It's only always been her dream forever. I can't wait to visit you there, friend.

SO sad I missed coming by! Jo texted me and I will have to say, that was by far my weakest tailgating ever. Only 2 hours before the game- pathetic! I'll be in Memphis soon though! Can't wait for the Christmas card!!
