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!

I'm feelin' patriotic...

I feel a party coming on.... Hello 4th of July!!



We've made the wonderful decision to stay in town this year and we're having some friends over to celebrate. We'll do some grillin' out and shoot some fireworks. After all, we can do that out here in tha countreee.

Everything red and blue is catching my eye right now..
I'm not sure what we'll be eating, but don't these look appetizing and festive?


Berry Cakes with Cinnamon Whipped Cream


A classic, beautiful flag cake


Martha Stewart's adorable flag cupcakes

She has an entire gallery of red, white and blue desserts, view it here.


Hello, gorgeous. I have cupcake envy.


Another fab Martha creation- Red, White, and Blue Parfaits. Cute- but I don't plan to go to that much trouble!


Now, I am LOVING these!! They look pretty easy...
Either way, my dessert will involve blueberries and strawberries, two of my favorite things!!

I've already set out all of my red, white and blue things...


Mom sent me home with a bag full of patriotic loot. She did an event at work for Memorial Day and had all these leftover goodies! I can't wait to decorate with it and celebrate Independence Day!!



I'll be sure to take lots of pics and show you how it turns out :)

Lovin' the July 4th decor! One of my favorite holidays! Sam and I are going to the lake with some friends and I am baking some patriotic Triple Berry cupcakes (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)!
