The guest room/bathroom was our last ‘room’ to be completed, unfortunately so, since we had a fair number of guests before it was even remotely occupational and now due to 2020's travel issues we've had none 🙈🤪 Here you see it in some of its former grandeur... From left to right -  What is now the [...]

Hello humans 😊
This is where you learn about me I suppose, though anyone reading this right now most likely knows all the boring details ;)
I am Jessica Rose Peters-Hagenouw.
(Always thought I'd be able to pronounce my married name but hey, life doesn't go as we plan.)
June 11, 1995, tis the day Robert and Bonnie Peters received the most adorable, amazing, wonderful, surprise 3rd child they could have dreamed of.
Speaking of being the third child, I have an older brother and an older sister.
Both of whom are married and have wee little families of their own, making 'Aunty Jess' another name I go by.
I grew up and have lived all of my years up till November 2015 in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Making summers that are extremely short and winters that never end, vast open spaces, northern lights, unthinkable amounts of mosquitoes, lakes, forests and people waving to you on the grid road all different things that mean = Home.
But Home is not where I'll be for some time.
My husband is a Dutchman, living in Europe.
Therefore I too have been living in Europe for the last few months.
The reason I started this little blog/journal/writing thing, is to document a bit of my "whole new world," for those at home who wont be awake at 3:00 am wanting to hear about how I couldn't find flour at the grocery store.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek into my little life 😊
Prepared For Landing – A Nursery Reveal
1 week and 4 days until Baby H's due date and his room is now officially completed! And none to soon I think 🤪 Since our house only has the option of two bedrooms upstairs or one in the basement, it was a simple choice of where the newest addition will be dwelling. Upstairs... in [...]
The Last Hurrah…
Day 5 - July 27th, 2020 Mike had told me to sleep in and rest up and I figured that wouldn’t happen, as 6/6:30 had been my usual wake up time. I did wake up around 5:30 and told myself I MUST sleep... which I then did, until 9 🤪🙈 Which was maybe a [...]
Seeking Out Sources Of Delight
Day 4 - July 26th, 2020 We slept in a little bit and decided to forgo the whole ‘breakfast out’ experience, as we had enough snacks to get us going until we needed lunch on our journey from Jasper to Canmore. The first stop along the route was at Athabasca falls. The tumultuous water came [...]
Campside Camaraderie
Day 3 - July 25th, 2020 The campers hadn’t planned on having an early morning so neither did we, sitting down at our chosen breakfast place around 10:00 am. That wasn’t really by choice though, as we had entered and left three other spots before finally settling on our perch at 'Sunhouse Cafe'... we learnt from [...]
Gaining – Both Weight & Elevation
Day 2 - July 24th, 2020 It was a fresh morning with some light sprinklings of rain as we left our Airbnb room and headed off to find breakfast. We decided to take up our old habit of sharing one order of food, not even for the sake of prices but more so we can [...]
