We’ve made a lot of progress this week, so here is the second part of our house tour! Our bedroom. I was going to clean off all the books on our nightstands, but I decided to show what our room really looks like most days. Thanks to my mom, our valences are finally up! Normally […]

Well, Bethany just had a great blog post about her favorite household products, and the housewife in me is happy to respond! Here are my favorites: 1. My Pampered Chef stones–I started out with this bar pan and discovered that things don’t burn on a stone, even if they’re left in the oven for an extra […]

It happened to me again…at a wedding this weekend, a lovely young lady approached Derek and said, “Is this your wife? Hi! I’ve seen so much of you and your darling son on facebook!” I lost the thread of her catch-up conversation with Derek, noticing instead her perfectly highlighted hair, her beautiful bridesmaid dress (this […]

Per Janet’s request, pictures of our accent wall at our old South Bend apartment. Before After Doesn’t this look so much better?! We haven’t really had a chance to do much new decorating since we’ve been in this house, but we like the paint well enough to let it go. I did originally have great […]

Spring has come to the Muller home. All of our flower beds are exploding with blossoms! Since it is supposed to rain and hail today, I thought I’d go cut a vase of our very own daffodils before they get ruined. Don’t they look cheery?!
