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!

This weekend was a bachelorette celebration in honor of Jessica's upcoming wedding! If you can't already tell, I'm a professional wedding-and-bachelorette-party-attender. That's what happens when you have tons of wonderful friends getting married!

For some relaxing fun in the sun, our big gang headed to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for the festivities. We had such a great time! Here are the pics:

Hilarious pic of the bride and her precious pregnant sister, Kandace. Jessica is notorious for doing something crazy right before you snap a picture.

On Saturday, we hit the lake!! It was so great to get out and cruise. It was blazing hot, so thank goodness for rafts and water!
Oh, and I was the captain of the boat for the day.
Funny.

Time to make dinner! This was the first charcoal experience for most of us. It turned out great, luckily! Thanks for handling this part, Lauren and Whit.

Jess got some gorgeous, sweet things. I can't reveal them on the blog, but this is a lovely robe-type number that made us all jealous.

And we rounded out the weekend with an amazing breakfast at the historic Pancake Shop in downtown Hot Springs. It was soooooooo yummy. I had a banana pancake that was the best pancake I've ever had, hands down.

Congrats, Jessica! We CAN'T WAIT 'til October!!
