I’ve posted about my love for coffee before and the wonderful feeling of sitting with a hot latte in the morning on a chilly fall or winter day. The Breakfast Project asked me to come up with a few of my favorite blogs I enjoy reading while warming up to a nice latte (or mocha in my case!)

- – - – - -

Team Sullivan: I have posted about Janel before and recently nominated her for a ‘Women Who Shine’ competition to win $10,000. Her blog was one of the first I came across when we began our adoption journey. Her thoughts on adoption and faith really encourage and inspire me and everyone else who reads her blog.

Delighted Momma: Lindsay seems like someone I would be friends in real life. Her blog is very relatable and she always posts delicious recipes, fun diy projects and easy beauty tips.

Kisses from Katie: As a teenager, Katie told her parents she wanted to move to Uganda. For the past several years she has given up all of the typical teenage desires to help the children and people of Uganda. She now is the mother to thirteen orphaned girls and has written a book about her experience: Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption.

Jen Hatmaker: Jen is an author, speaker and adoptive mom. Her blog is one of those you read not only for enjoyment, but to learn. Her post about the excessiveness of Christmas is one of my favorites and truly gets you thinking.

So check out these wonderful blogs over a nice latte and join us for a #LatteLove TWITTER PARTY!

A few days ago I shared about the new Oxygen series, I’m Having Their Baby, and the day has finally arrived. Watch the show tonight at 11/10c featuring the emotional stories of several birthmothers giving up their babies for adoption. This is a side of adoption that is not often told and will give us a glimpse of the inner turmoil that these young women face in making the decision to choose adoption for their babies.

Each episode features two Mothers who have chosen the option of adoption. You not only get to get to know the Moms, but you get to watch the adoption process, the live birth of their child and all of the emotions that come with their decision.

As you may know this topic is very dear to my heart because my family and I are bringing a child into our family through adoption. Your comments, replies, and shares in this giveaway discussing the I’m Having Their Baby docu-series will enter you in a $100 gift card giveaway, but will also hopefully help me be the blog with the most fabulous viewers who spark the most discussion and shares about the show. So not only do you get the chance to win a $100 Visa gift card, but I get the chance to add  $1,000 to our adoption fund (but only with your help!)

• Tune in tonight at 11/10c for the premiere, but let’s get the discussion started in a few hours with an OxygenLive chat beginning at 11pm EST!
