AT THE WATER’S EDGE:
LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
Journey with Me
Hi there! My name is Dana. I created this space as a place to share the things I learn along this journey I call life. I am a Jesus follower, wife, twin mom and dog mom. I work in marketing/sales analytics and I’m a sort of Jane of All Trades, interested in all things nature, gardening, cooking, crafting, traveling, exploring and learning new things. This blog is a conglomeration of my interests, hobbies, life and life lessons. Thanks for stopping by!

Tom and I have always loved camping. One of the things that first drew me to Tom was his love for adventure and the outdoors, and one of the things I appreciate most about our relationship is being able to share those sorts of experiences together.

It just so happened that the same weekend we planned a baby shower for my sister-in-law, there was a Belgian Beer Festival going on at Ashley’s — a favorite hangout of my brother’s. He was able to participate in the festivities all week, but Tom and I were at least able to join in for

The next stop on our brew tour was HopCat. I think I had actually only been to HopCat once before, and it had been a very long time. I think Tom’s been a number of times, but we hadn’t been there since we began our “Brew Tour”. We had said months ago that we needed to

After an unexcusably long hiatus, it’s time to get back to the Brew Blog! We took some time off of our brewery tour as the weather got nice last year, but we’ve knocked off several new places this winter that I have not gotten around to posting yet. First places first, we’ll start with the

After going out with Tom for drinks and appetizers a few weeks back — and the appetizer plate not coming as specified on the menu — I had been wanting to make my own appetizer platter as a fun and different dinner. I wanted to do a set of spreads that I could put over

My brother and his wife are due to have their first baby at the end of March. They are expecting a baby boy, who will be our first nephew on my side of the family. I can’t wait to meet him. My brother decided on an awesome theme for the baby’s nursery: Super Mario Bros.
