After a sabbatical (well, not really a sabbatical at all, since typically those are paid amounts of time off, which I did not get) I am back to attempt writing here once again! 😀 That's all, you can go on your way now. No, really that is petty much all I have to say on [...]

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 😊
Airing Out Our Dirty Laundry
Here I was thinking I’d told all there was to tell about our own homes Reno’s but somehow I failed to mention that our basement got (almost completely) redone?? 🙈 Well, it did and it’s about time you knew 😏 If I wrote about the entire basement in one post, it would get lengthy so [...]
A Pop Of Color, Whereupon To Perch
Some spare bar stools were purchased from you guessed it, the Facebook market place 🤪👍🏻 Though officially our kitchen island only fits four, we’ve had one extra person/mini person sit on each end during visits, so we needed the extra bum rests😜 This specific makeover took an oddly long span of time for me [...]
Sanded Down Storage Solution
Hi! It's time for another before and after... which seem to easily be my favourite type of thing to post about 🤪 I’d spotted this on the Facebook buy and sell page and loved the front panels and felt like they had the dark ish tropical kind of vibe I’m aiming for in our [...]
$70 Sofa & Love Seat Makeover
And finally, some details about the mini couch makeover the sister and I undertook! 😁 We often send each other postings of goodies that are for sale in the local areas, ooing and awing and just as quickly saying 'no' and forgetting about them 🤪 This time, that was not the case. The moon phase [...]
Llandudno Beach Photoshoot
Time to share the photos of our romantic, evening photo shoot at Llandudno beach 🤪 Turn away if you’re prone to cringing at displays of affection! ‘Jessica closes her own blog’ 🤪 Before our trip to South Africa, I had searched out a photographer to possibly get some photos of Mich and I taken while [...]
