Not all, but a great number of countries celebrate Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June. In honor of Father’s Day, we asked our World Moms…

“My dad used to restore old gumball machines and he would let me sit at his work bench and help. He would give me little jobs and let me use his tools and paints to make my own ‘creations’.
I realize now that he helped encourage my creativity and provided an escape for me when things with my mother were rough.
My dad is still around, but lives 400 miles away- I still miss doing ‘projects’ with him.”

This week’s Friday Question comes from World Moms Blog writer Maggie Ellison. She asked our writers,
“What is one of your favorite childhood memories?”
Read on to see what some of our World Moms had to say…
Dr. Lanham of Arizona, USA writes:
“My favorite childhood memory is sitting with my grandfather on my grandparent’s front porch in Indiana while it rained. We would have a soda, sit in the swing and watch the rain fill up the lake across the street. I’ll never forget it!”

We have an international week lined up for you – we will be traveling to a different country each day!
On Monday, we start in Illinois to learn all about our new writer, Polish Prairie Mom. Read about how this Polish-born Mom ended up in the United States and the special reasons she has for wanting to write about her heritage.
On Tuesday,we go south of the US border to Mexico, where Dee Harlow writes a thought-provoking post about early memories, how they can affect us, and how they can ultimately shape the way in which we raise our own children.
On Wednesday, we’re off across the ocean to New Zealand. Karyn Van Der Swet has some great insights into that great parenting debate: should we expose our kids to electronic entertainment or not, and to what extent does this depend on the child?
And on Thursday, we head off to Norway to hear from transplanted French Mom Ambre French. Ambre enjoys the best of both worlds, as she lives in Oslo and travels regularly to her native Paris, and she says she has no comment about recently joining the ranks of working moms.
