A recounting of our recent attempt at a 'fun family day'... not something we attempt to do very often, as our family time generally just circles around and focuses on food consumption đ It was too long to explain on an instagram story and as it was Lake's first 'vacation' I felt it would best be to be documented here.

Hello humans đ
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 đ

Just A Little Note To Say…
Whenâs the last time you wrote somebody a letter? Or a note? Do handwritten notes make you smile? Warm your heart and find a safe place to live on as a keepsake? Maybe youâre born to love getting handwritten notes and letters. Maybe you can be shaped into liking them. I think that I am [...]
Follow Up Feelings
It was requested that when time allowed, I write a follow up to the post I wrote about my thoughts and feelings pre Lake being born. You can find that post here -Â Aren't You Excited ?! A Slightly Different Perspective On Pregnancy Truly, I donât have much to write about it, as the transition went [...]
Starbucks Copycat Peach Green Tea W/Coconut Milk
Copycat Starbucks Peach Green Tea W/Coconut Milk Years ago now (how sad is it that I have to say YEARS) Starbucks had a lime refresher and it was the epitome of a perfect refreshing summer beverage, especially when you got it made with coconut milk đ€€đ„„âïž Now traumatically enough... Starbucks got rid of that, one of [...]
The Bare Necessities – For Hospital, Home & Babe
In my singular experience, Iâve learnt a few little things that possibly made the process of bringing a baby into the world/our lives, slightly easier in my opinion âșïž Iâll share those with you here, incase you find yourself, or perhaps know of a friend, in the baby boat. For The Hospital - Everyone [...]
