Happy Fall, Ya'll!

So today is the first day of fall (my personal favorite season!) and you know what that means......fun fall decor time!!!  

I have a few plans up my sleeve and plan to share them hopefully next weekend.  I still don't have any of my craft supplies, but I am compiling tutorials and purchased supplies so I can "hop to it" when I finally get all my stuff back.  So stick around and as always, 

Happy Nesting!

Me without my glue gun....

...is like my husband without his camera.

I left my glue gun, glue gun supplies, burlap, crafting supplies, etc. all in the Burgh...and I am paying for it!  I had so many projects in mind and planned out to do this fall and now I have to wait until I can get back up to the Burgh to have my precious supplies returned to me.  And that's not til OCTOBER!  I'm dying!  I refuse to buy another glue gun and pay for yards of burlap when I have some sitting in my mom's house waiting for me to bring it home for some fun projects.  So until then, I am a blog-following fool.  I read almost a dozen blogs each day after work looking for fun projects to do for my own home to spruce it up a bit (and to work on transforming my decor scheme; hubby doesn't know what we're about to get into!).  So, I guess I'm just warning you that my blog isn't going to be very eventful the next couple of weeks.  I apologize in advance.  I'll do a post later on some of my plans for decor transformation in the Fensch household!

Happy Nesting!

Post-Wedding Chop!

I did it.  I chopped it all off.  My hair was at the middle of my back.

See how long I let it get!

And now it brushes my shoulders.  I knew I wanted to cut it all off, but wasn't sure about the style.  Well, I went to a new salon (my other hairdresser is past due for bailing...another story for another time) and she did great!  She gave me great pointers for keeping my hair healthy and how to use my new products efficiently.  So excited!

Dinner time: Chicken Broccoli Bake

Add this to your repertoire, ladies and gents!  It's yummy!

*I used 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can use however many you need and adjust the recipe to fit.

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Can of broccoli cheese soup

1/3 cup of milk

Box of stuffing (any flavor; I used turkey flavor to shake it up!)

1 1/2 cups of hot water

2 bags of brown rice
Your choice of vegetable side

Some tasty ingredients!

1.  Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Don't forget to turn on the oven!

2.  Defrost your chicken breasts (if needed) and douse with a little bit of seasoning (I used Monterey Chicken Grill Mates; I use it for EVERYTHING!)

3.  Mix the soup with a 1/3 cup of milk in a bowl.  Set aside.

4.  Mix your stuffing in a pot with 1 1/2 cups of hot water.  Make sure it's nice and hot!

5.  Place breasts in glass dish.  Pour soup mix over breasts.  Then add mixed stuffing on top of that.

All ready to bake it up!

6.  Throw it in the oven for roughly 30-40 minutes and PRESTO!

7.  As your breasts are baking, make your rice.
8.  Serve the breasts over the rice and add your favorite side!  We love our green beans!

Our favorite!

Yummy!

Try it!  Let me know how you like it!

Happy Nesting!

There she blows!

Hurricane Irene decided to schedule a little visit to Baltimore!  Heavy, sideways rains, strong winds, power outages, blown-over trees, flooded homes and streets.  That's just to name a few things she did on her stop here.  Luckily, Mr. F and I were safe with just two short outages and a lot of rain and wind.  He ventured out into all that yuckiness with his "water-proof" coat and swim trunks (weirdo, yeah I know!).  But we woke up to no more rain and still a little windy.  Friends of ours are out of power and a little wetness in basements.  Hopefully, Irene doesn't do too much more damage and keeps it to a minimum.

Happy Nesting!

A new chapter, a new blog...

Some of you may know me as "The Brunette Bride" where I recapped all the happenings of my wedding planning process.  Now that I am married and full of ideas and project plans, I figured I would start a new blog to recap that chapter of my husband's and my life.  We had a great wedding and we plan on having a great marriage.  I don't plan on blogging as often as I did as a bride...mainly due to the fact that I am a wife now and have lots to do. ;)  But look for some great project ideas and anything domestic!

It's nesting time and I am ready!

Happy Nesting!
