My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.
Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I’m so happy you are here. I’m an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature’s beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child’s heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you’ll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you’ll find some interesting posts to read!
The shed on Dart’s fingers and toes was inseparable from his new skin, which you could tell by him constantly tugging at it with his mouth and nothing coming off. Elliot peeled them off, sometimes resorting to holding him down so he doesn’t pinch the tiny limbs. Dart was understandably mad and scared, so he did what a gecko could do to show his displeasure: pee on Elliot’s hand. But he ultimately pulled off all the shed. If it stays on for too long, it could restrict blood flow to his fingers and toes and cause them to fall off.
There’s so much to learn about these little creatures. I wonder why Dart had a hard time with this shed. Do you know if this is a common occurence. Having a helper around sure did help!

Dr. Elliot! He scared the pee out of Darling Dart for very good reasons!! 🤣😂🤣
Oh my – good thing Dart was not alone when this happened. I’m glad Elliot’s feeling better and could help Dart.
