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!

Home for the Holidays

I'm so excited! Our house is decorated for Christmas! It is so warm and cozy; the lights really make it festive. I love it this way!
























































On Friday, mom and I did some shopping around for a few basics to get me started. Luckily, I already had a huge ornament collection that I had been working on for the past few years. I have to thank my grandmother for getting me started!! She helps me add to it on every special occasion.

































Anyway, so we got to work and had it all done before we knew it! I am so proud and feel so blessed to have my first tree with my new husband. I can't wait for Christmas Day!


































Thanks, mom, for all of your bow-making expertise. You are so talented. I couldn't have done it without you!

Your tree and all of your Christmas decorations are gorgeous. You and your mom are a good team! I need your mom to come spruce up my tree. We've had our tree up since Thanksgiving. I like to look at it, as I relax on the couch recovering from my turkey coma. Miss you guys!!

I'm glad my mother isn't the only one who is obsessed with bows... come by my office tomorrow and I'll show your her bow on my little glass box she made!
