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!

Pretzels for forgiveness

Ahh, the joys of marriage. Keith and I are pretty good about not having big fights. But, we do bicker back and forth. Who doesn't?

Today I cleaned the whole house top to bottom and did all the laundry. Mountains worth.
Keith mostly watched TV.
This irritated me.

It's like just because I was tired of sitting around and I felt like cleaning, I expected him to want to do the same. Yeah, right. I think I pretty much gave him a hard time all day long. He's a great helper and does clean and do laundry, too. But, I was frustrated that I was doing it alone. Ok, so maybe he helped a little. Silly goose.

He finally went out to hunt or fish or do something with his brother.

While he was gone, I finished working on the house, made some pre-valentine's pretzels, set the table for dinner, made him an appetizer and left a note on the door....

Sometimes it's hard to realize that you were the one with an attitude problem. It's worth it to ask for forgiveness :)
