We have an exciting start to the week on Monday, as we go to Mexico to hear from first-time writer and Mom of twins Dee Harlow. Dee talks about a topic that really helps put life in perspective.
On Tuesday, we’re back in the United States with Eva Fannon, the Washington working Mom whose busy lifestyle has taught her that sometimes, you just cannot plan things the way you want.
On Wednesday, we fly to India to hear from The Alchemist, the Mom who has worn many hats, including one as an Engineer!
And on Thursday, we’re in New Jersey with Kally Mocho, the part-time social worker who has a passion for helping people less fortunate than herself.
On Friday, Eva Fannon leads our Friday Question. Don’t forget to check in and join in the conversation with our World Moms Blog writers!
We are thrilled to welcome two new writers, Inspire to Dream from Australia and DC Blogmama from Washington D.C. Look out for their writer profiles, which will be posted soon.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to our writer Sunny Springer, who is anxiously awaiting information about the safety of friends and family in her home country of Japan. We hope to hear good news soon.

This week we asked our writers…
“How far do you live from where you were born?”
Here are some of our writers’ responses …
Maggie Ellison of South Carolina, USA writes:
“I was born in the southern part of the US, but was raised in the northern part, over 800 miles away. Now, I am back in the south and just 275 miles away from my birth place.” (more…)

Today’s Friday Question marks our 100th post on World Moms Blog!
This week’s question came from one of our writers – Kally Mocho. She asked,
“As a mom, what one item can you not live without?”
Here are some indispensable items some of our moms cannot do without…
Eva Fannon of Washington State, USA writes:
“It would have to be diaper wipes. Even after my oldest was out of diapers (and the youngest wasn’t even born yet), we still kept buying them because they make cleaning dirty faces and hands so much easier! I always keep an extra pack in the car.” (more…)

This week’s question came from Tara B. She asked our writers,
“What is your guilty pleasure after a tough day of mommyhood?”
Here’s what some of our moms had to say…
Kirsten Jessiman of Canada writes:
“Once the kids are in bed and all of my nightly tasks are done, I like to grab a glass of wine and indulge in a bit of Facebook time wasting.”
Veronica Samuels of New Jersey, USA writes:
“A cup of tea, something naughty to eat (such as ice cream) and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on T.V. (The show is a comical slant on the U.S. news and politics.) Ahhhh, adult time!!!” (more…)

There was a time in my parenting life when I thought everything was perfect: my dear darling son (henceforth DDS) was perfect; I was perfect; our whole life was a living proof of joie de vivre. And then, disaster struck.
Well, I should not say that really. It was during the holidays and DDS was diagnosed with astigmatism. We got him his eye glasses on Dec 24th and from the day of his diagnosis until now has been a very difficult time in my life as a mother.
When faced with the fact that he will be wearing glasses permanently, I initially was crushed, devastated; I felt lost, confused and upset. I felt guilty with myself and angry at the whole world. (more…)
