About

Hello!

My name is Dana Edwards. I’m a mom of two kids (22-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son) and I’ve been married for 29 years! And yes, I believe I deserve a trip to Italy next year to celebrate. (In case a certain someone is reading this.)

Then there’s this other one about a girl who teams up with a retired Marine general and a lady with Alzheimer’s to solve a bank robbery. I know. I know.

You can read about others here.

I’m hoping these stories will find a publisher so kids can tell me what they think about them.

My hope is that the blog will be a place to  share the lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn). But most importantly, I hope it will provide a small respite from the challenges of life – yours and mine. Every now and then, I’ll share a Parenting Pearl, a Marriage Mint, a Life Lesson, and a recipe or cooking tip that just might help improve your day.

My goal is to post once a week or once a month or once a …
