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!

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of the things we did and things that happened in 2012. I feel like it was a whirlwind of a year, but here’s a brief memoir of what I can remember from the activities done, people visited and

Today, we made our first stop in our West Michigan Brew Tour. It was already getting late on a Friday evening, so we decided to go someplace close to home. The Mitten Brewing Co. is a small place off of Leonard St. in Grand Rapids, with a baseball (mitt) theme. It was pretty crowded, but

As things have turned out this year, I’m probably not going to be making as many Christmas treats and goodies as I usually do. Nevertheless, I’ve found a few fun and crafty things to do. Before I share this year’s adventures, however, I need to take a moment to honor some crafts of the past.
