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.

  • Gratitude for Good Friday

    Thank you, Jesus, for your ultimate sacrifice and giving us the gift of eternal life in you! An amazing gift that no one could offer and follow through on…only Jesus.
