TEXAS, USA: The Attitude of Gratitude

PHILIPPINES: Pregnant with possibilities
Hello, world moms everywhere! Wow, it's been quite a blogcation, hasn't it? In other parts of the world, it's been a long and lazy summer, but for us here in the Philippines, it's been a wet, sometimes troublesome monsoon season. Earlier in July, one of the worst...
SOUTH AFRICA: What Is Truth?
Truth is most often used to mean; "being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal." Sadly though, it's not as simple as that, because all human beings have unconscious "filters" which lead to bias. Let me use a silly...
WORLD VOICE: Ferguson is Closer Than We Think

NEW ZEALAND: Silver Linings
Almost three years ago, we had the option of buying a big house in town or an apartment sized house on a small block of land. With three boys who had outgrown the space we had in town, we moved to the countryside. It’s been a great move and I feel very at home here....

NETHERLANDS: Milestones
I remember the day I gave birth to my firstborn very well. After a long exhausting delivery, a baby boy was placed in my arms. I remember feeling overwhelmed, I remember shaking from exhaustion. But my fatigue and pain faded to the background, the moment I held him...
FLORIDA, USA: A Pie for Ms. Jackson
Do you remember those movies in which a new family moves into a neighborhood, and one of the neighbors brings them a pie as a welcoming gesture? Maybe you have been the recipient of such a gift, or maybe the giver. Maybe, you have done neither and additionally do not...
INDONESIA: The Terrific Twos
I thought I had been lucky enough to avoid them, I thought we would breeze through, I thought it didn’t run in the family, after all, my older son never had a tantrum. Oh boy, was I wrong. In the past few weeks my 2 year old, Joshua, has revealed a side of him I had...

JAPAN: Chow Time!
I read on the internet a lot about how America is trying to change their school lunch program and make it healthier. And I read a lot about how some people are not happy about this. They complain that kids won't eat what they don't like, food gets wasted, etc. All of...

BELGIUM: Bah Bon
I've yet to meet a mom who is not monitoring her kid's eating habits. Some might even be obsessed over it, others just make sure their kids eat enough or don't overeat. Food can be filled with cultural, health or moral values and seems an important subject in most...
