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!

Wine Friday: Milbrant Vineyards Traditions Cabernet Sauvignon

Happy Friday! This has been another whirlwind week, so I'm excited for a weekend with very little plans. Keith, on the other hand, is taking part of his state dental boards on Saturday morning. So, wish him a bit of luck, although I don't think he needs it :)

It's time for Wine Friday! Here's a cab I opened on Tuesday night this week. Usually I get into the vino closer to Thursday, but some stress relief was needed sooner than expected! I quite enjoyed this variety.
