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 in love....

Wow! I came across this website the other day, Hostess with the Mostess, and I'm hooked! I feel like it embodies all the things I love about being a hostess. Look at their great blog, too. Check out this idea...for a dessert party:

and this idea...Penguin themed!

and this! Adorable cupcakes...


Here's another presh blog: Lollipop

Now, I do have a pretty wicked awesome job that suits my personality very well and I see myself in the ad business for a long time. But, in another life (or later in this one), I would LOVE to just play and plan parties for people.
I ADORE stationary, papers and invitations. These are my favorite paper web sites:
Polka Dot Design
Impress in Print
Fine Stationery
Paper Style
Announcing It
Minted
Expressionery
Tiny Prints
Photo Affections

Yes, I have a web bookmark folder called "Stationary!"

When Keith and I have our "forever house" and (hopefully) the extra dough to throw parties and entertain for fun, I will LOOK for reasons to use invitations as cute as all these:

























Oh, I could go on and on and on! I look at these and think of how fun it would be to do a party with that theme. I'm a total dork! No wonder I'm teased at work for being some sort-of Martha Stewart wannabe.

Ok, I'm off to bed. I could get lost on these websites for hours....
