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!

I couldn’t remember what I had planned to make for dinner tonight. I thought about it briefly while I was at work, but by the time I got home, I still had no idea what I had meant to make or what I was going to do. I just went grocery shopping yesterday, so I

Several weeks ago, I jumped on board a challenge to memorize the entire book of James in the Bible, throughout the course of the year. This week’s memorization wraps up chapter one. I have it down pretty well, though I’ll still stumble a bit through a couple parts. I thought about recording myself on video,

Last year, we discovered the BrewSki festival at Boyne Highlands — which happens to be right around the corner from our family cabin in Harbor Springs, Michigan. We went up north this past weekend so that we could attend BrewSki and had a good time with my brother and his wife, along with a couple

And this little piggy went “ow, ow, ow”all the way home… This winter, I’ve noticed a new phenomenon that is occurring in conjunction with my Raynaud’s attacks. You can read about my discovery of Raynaud’s Disease and The Mystery of the White Finger here. It seems that over the past couple of years, it has

Cats make good pets; peeves do not. It has come to my attention recently that I have a few pet peeves when it comes to some of the phraseology used in regards to rheumatoid disease. Of course, there is the obvious ever-present “a” word, and I am still hoping that more people will begin to

Last year in my women’s bible study, we did an in-depth study of the book of Luke. I absolutely loved it and felt very challenged by the teachings of Jesus. I touched on this a bit in my post on Discipleship, but I really felt God challenging me to understand and take to heart the

I’m behind on posting my recent recipes and cooking adventures, so I’m going to post some of what I’ve been cooking over the past couple months all together here. I’ve tried a few new things and made up a few of my own recipes. Chicken Parmesan & Roasted Vegetables click here for recipe Veggies were

I read my friend Kelly’s blog post today and thought: wow, I feel the exact same way! Life has been a blur for the past 5 months, mostly because I’ve been super busy with lots of good stuff: work (I love my job), traveling, holidays, project after exciting project with the RPF, teaching Sunday school,

Okay, so this isn’t actually a stop on our brew tour, but it’s something I have to share. Last year, Tom attempted to brew his own beer for the first time. He enjoyed the process and actually ended up making three different batches. I think the first batch may be all gone now, but he

A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves headed toward Eastown and decided it would be a good chance to check out Brewery Vivant. A former funeral home and chapel, the building is certainly unique for a brewery. They offer some unique Belgian inspired beers and the company is committed to sustainability, purchasing many of
