Coffee With
Coffee with... is a new feature of Notes From My Nest, and it's all about community. Each week we'll put the spotlight on another mom blogger! You'll get a chance to drop in at her place for a visit and learn a little about her and her corner of the blogosphere.
If you are interested in having your "mom blog" featured in Coffee with... (it's absolutely free!!!), please comment to this post and introduce yourself! Tell me a little about yourself and your blog. Your comment will not be published, but will come to me via email.
Each week, I'll select a new "mom blog" for the feature from the comments that I receive. When your blog is selected, you will be notified by email. Be sure to leave your url and a valid email address in the body of your comment because I do not have time to look at everyone's blogger profiles to find their contact info. Again, your comment will not be published! I look forward to meeting you!
Warmest wishes, from my nest to yours...

Today's Thoughts...
As a stay-at-home mom, it's easy to lose perspective, forgetting that my greatest area of ministry is to my own family...these cherished ones living under my roof.
Praying for my husband as he heads out the door for the office...
Heating another bottle...
Changing another diaper...
Washing another load of laundry...
In her book, Having A Mary Heart In A Martha World, Joanna Weaver writes, "Jesus didn't have a luxurious corner office on Jerusalem's east side with a brass doorplate that said 'Messiah'. He didn't have a multi-acre campus to base His ministry. He just ministered as He went along. On His way. He went out of His way. In all kinds of ways." [Joanna Weaver, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World (Colorado Springs, Colorado: Waterbrook Press, 2000), 92.]

Create your own board game with this tutorial from Cut Out + Keep.
Ten years after the birth of her son, Vickie Erlandsen welcomed a baby girl to her family - a surprise that drastically changed life as she knew it. A banker for 20 years, Vickie decided to take a year away from her job to relish the time with this new little one. She enjoyed all of the darling little things that once again filled her home and was inspired to create her own line of baby products. Today, each item from Dillyhearts is lovingly handcrafted in Vickie's home studio and many are on display in Seattle's finest baby boutiques.
