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!

Back to School Party

Keith is back in school. Have I told you that yet?
Yep, he's been back since July 6, and he's been working on patients :) He loves it!

He's also always working on something or talking on the phone: school stuff, his time-consuming class president duties, other endeavors... the guy works hard!! I'm so proud of him. I took that picture of him a week or so again when he was emailing about school stuff around midnight. And I wanted him to quit and come to bed. He never complains about any of it. Amazing to me!


Anyway, the freshmen (D1) class didn't start until this past week so all of the back-to-school parties are just now starting. I always love dental school events. There are so many great people in his class and I love being around them! We've made some wonderful friends.

Last night was party #1 at TJ Mulligans. We headed out after our wonderful dinner at home.

I thought this sign behind the bar was cute. Somebody asked the bartender if he would add "Jones" to it. He refused.

Keith and Miles have bromance. Caitlyn and I laugh about it.

I tell her she's my little pocket person. Full of sunshine!

And this is my favorite D1 student! Ashley Jones and I have been friends since childhood, growing up on the lake together. I'm so glad she's here and I know she'll do great in school. Welcome to Memphis, friend!!! No relation on the Jones, although we like to think of ourselves as sisters :)


Good luck this year, doctors. I'm looking forward to more back-to-school celebrations!
