Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

If I could give out marks I would give an A+ for creativety and a high five for the littlë helper..:)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post Jenn!
Thanks Marloes! I don't know when I have had more fun working on a little something for the blog!
ReplyDeleteAndrew and I were discussing the fact that we should share the way we make pancakes here, and then I thought about recording the moment(s) as we went along...
You see the results of that little brainstorm session.
When Don came downstairs Saturday morning (and we were in the midst of mixing and photographing) Andrew told him "we're making pancakes, and then we're gonna blog about it"
hahahahaha!
Oh jen- that was so much fun. You're really a great photographer, and your son is a star.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone who can eat pancakes all day, either. Really. No one in our house can. No, really.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely terrific - the recipe, the helper, the whole thing! Can I come help next time? I promise not to sit on the counter.
Oh, Jenn, I can't TELL you how much I loved this. Loved, loved, loved this!!! This is the cutest video EVER. And btw... those are MY DS's fave pancakes, too... we make them many, many Sundays. And wanna know something weird? Here's his fave topping combo - smoked salmon and confectioner's sugar. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat was well worth the wait. Graisen and I watched it and he is very impressed with Andrews cooking. The boys can make their own eggs but nothing as cute as that!
ReplyDeleteWHAT ARE YOU? WONDER WOMAN!!
ReplyDeleteAlright Linda Carter, 'fess up cuz it isn't fair that you start working, all these changes and NOW YOUR ARE MAKING AND POSTING VIDEOS! ABOUT COOKING?!
I do so little with my life....
This is excellent. Thanks for making me smile so big!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jenn. This was great! I loved the video, especially your helper. Fabulous!
ReplyDeletebrilliant! excellent helper, though I suspect that he had an ulterior motive :)
ReplyDeleteYou know the Dutch way of making pancakes looks fairly similar to the Aussie way.
ReplyDeleteYou've made me hungry.
Oh my goodness, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I've now watched it several times, because last night when I was first watching, it wouldn't let me comment. Anyway, he is frickin' brackin' darling... as is his mommy. What a clever idea! And suddenly... I'm hungry. Great. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely adorable. I'm sure our kids all think we're crazy - um lady could you put the camera down?? I love the part when he's eating and looking at you like "am I supposed to be doing something or what? okay I'll just eat."
ReplyDeleteI think my 10yo could eat pancakes all day everyday.
Oh my, he's the cutest!
ReplyDeleteI love pancakes but don't think I could eat them all day. I'm more of a biscuit kind of gal.
And 500 grams of flour? *faint* This American can't understand. Does. Not. Compute.
I tagged you for a meme on my blog. If you have time and would like to do it, I hope you do. :) Oh, and did you get my email I sent you after I mailed your order?
wow, he looks just like Em and Ian--combined....sort of Twillight Zone in the Gene Pool for me....
ReplyDeleteWow! That was ABSOLUTELY adorable!! What a fun piece of work!!
