sing like wildflowers
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!
3 responses to ““Jesus” stuffie found at Hallmark store”
Hmm – I’ve not been in a Hallmark store in forever. Now you can get greeting cards at the grocery store and I really only send e-cards anyway. My mom and I would go in there several times a year to buy cards, Christmas ornaments for our miniature tree and jigsaw puzzles … never saw a Jesus stuffie before though.
Same here! I haven’t been to one in over 10 years. I had no idea that physical stores were still open. I used to love going into one and seeing all the cute things they had. They had Christmas ornaments already. I’ve never seen a Jesus stuffie this large. I need one!
My mom and I bought a miniature Hallmark tree and every year we would go and buy a few more mini-ornaments for it. They were very tiny. But they also had their various new dated ornaments. We used to get a new nature ornament by Dutch artist Marjolein Bastin every year, not for the tree, but to hang on ornament hangers. They had an ornament preview party every July – they called it “Christmas in July” – the Hallmark employees would dress like elves and pass out cookies and punch and the store was decorated like they do at Christmas. I got a lot of my Boyd’s bears (stuffed and resin) during our trips to Hallmark. They had a great collection there!
