Day 1 - July 23rd 2020 Well, the decision was finally made to take a little 'pre babester trip'. We talked about doing some sort of trip off and on, back and forth for awhile but I couldn’t make up my mind... On one hand it sounded appealing and like something we should indeed do [...]

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 😊
Summery Salsa & Shrimp Couscous
When it comes to meals for myself, I like fairly easy recipes and something that can be eaten again as leftovers... and as for not wanting to add to the baby bod poundage, healthy is a 'bonus'-bonus right now 😂 I also really like shrimp. That’s why this recipe hits THE spot 👌🏻 It's fairly [...]
A Tropical Welcome!
Well, an occasion occurred this week, which I wasn’t ever really considering as a future event in my life... our baby shower! In Canada, it is more customary to have a shower AFTER the baby arrives but due to me being someone who does much better with time to prepare, wanting to be able to [...]
Upcycled Accent Storage
Back in February while Mike was away visiting his family in Holland, I finally decided to take the time and tackle the makeover of this piece we salvaged from the items in the Mac house makeover 🤓 Firstly it got a good scrubbing with some TSP cleaner. Next it was taken apart and I [...]
Hello Third Trimester ~ Bumpdate
Wednesday, June 17th - Well, it’s crazy to think that in 12 weeks (give or take) we will have a real life, extra little human in our home 😬🤭 The first 12 weeks went pretty quickly, so if these ones go that fast... I had better get my butt in gear and get a fair [...]
Beachy Wall Decor – My Creativity During Covid
Many moons ago, I’d made this decorative wall hanging/decor for our bathroom wall, using a piece of beach wood, air plants and string. After successfully killing all of the air plants over the span of a year or so, the wood has hung empty for much, much too long 😅 Though I loved how [...]
