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!

Fiesta shower!

This weekend, Keith and I helped host a very fun couples shower in Little Rock honoring my dear friend Jessica and her fiance, Brandon. The theme was fiesta and we had such a great time! Here are the pics:

The party was at our friend Allison's parent's house. They have a great pool patio area perfect for our shindig. The weather was awesome, too!

I downloaded a party package from Paper and Cake and customized the banner flags with their names. It was a great deal and came with lots of goodies like cupcake toppers, treat bags, invitations, etc. I only used a few of the templates, but now I have the file for future fiesta parties! If you're planning any kind of party, I recommend you check out their website.

Our drink table complete with fruit punch, margaritas from scratch, sangria and beer. Lots of choices!

The hosts with the bride-to-be! From left: Allison, Jessica, Kristi and I get sassy with party hats and mustaches. I cut the 'staches out of felt and hot-glued them to dowels. They were a big hit!
