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 am a big fan of snacks. Especially salty ones. Especially salty ones that I can claim as somewhat healthy. So I was very excited at the opportunity to review this Yum Yum Healthy Snacks Box. It arrived in a white box with a cute logo on the top: Inside, the box was filled with

I thought focusing on this verse this week would be appropriate since we are celebrating our dog Happy’s third birthday. I think it’s interesting how one’s attitude and actions toward animals is indicative of his actions towards people — but this proverb turns it around from the way I usually think of it. You often

At the back of my perennial garden is a special garden space that really belongs to Tom. This is where his hops grow — with the bines growing up twine that reaches to the roof of our garage where they can then expand out sideways. Hops grow fast. Really fast. The shoots come out of
