09/28/21 I can’t really recollect what happened this day… will you all be able to make it? Not knowing the details of a day of my life?! 🤪 As far as I can recall, I was actually not feeling fantastic, aching and having some very bad headaches throughout the day. So between unpacking, laundry, Lake [...]

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 😊
Mission: Accomplished
I slacked in keeping up the day to day journaling whilst on the trip, due to usually just wanting to go right to sleep, whenever bedtime finally came around 😅 And typically being too busy during the days, to post. But in doing so, I now have no posts written up in advance and have to rely [...]
Savouring – The Snuggles, The Food, The Family Time
09/26/21 Lake and I had church from the couch on this specific Sunday. He slept in until 10:30 and was back down for a large nap only an hour and a half later, after only having laid on the floor, or me, during his awake time between. Refusing any food or drink, aside from coffee [...]
Untimely Unwellness
09/25/21 Saturday morning began with a family breakfast ☺️🍞🥐🧀🥓 Afterwords, Mike went to the barber, Tim, our nephew going with for some guy time 😎 They returned with churros 🤪 During their time away, Lake was entertained by aunty and uncle, and I got to relax. Writing and being served coffee 😉 Judith and I went for a 6 km [...]
Young At Heart…If Not In Our Senses
09/24/21 Oma Inge took Lake for a bike ride, so that I could have a child free morning to get myself and our things together, as we were once again bound for Germany for the weekend. Before heading there though, we were stopping in at a cousin's home. And before getting to the cousin's home, [...]
Grands, Greek And Good Times
09/23/21 A pretty sunrise and macarons for breakfast, meant that the day began on a good note 😉 We made arrangements to go and visit with Lake’s great Oma and Opa at their home during that afternoon, where Mike and I were served some hot chocolate and Lake was given a cookie to gnaw on for a [...]
