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!

Shopping for glasses can be hard. And expensive. I have a very weak prescription and glasses that I mostly just use for driving. Oh, and stargazing — it’s amazing how different the sky looks when you can see clearly! So many more stars and so much sharper! Anyways, I’ve also had a couple of pairs
