Since we celebrated World Moms Blog’s 1st Blogiversary this week, Jen Burden, our founder, asked,
“What has been your favorite moment so far on World Moms Blog?”
The Alchemist of India writes:
“I got my first paid writers’ job after my employer read my first post at World Moms Blog. It was India: In the eyeglasses of the beholder.
I have come a long way from there. I got two editing offers after someone checked out my posts at WMB and another site (Awesome Cuisine). These have been some “Awww, is it me?” moments. The power of affirmations, like Jen mentioned in the Blogiversary post.
I have especially liked Dr. Jeanelle’s post on taking time out for oneself as a mom, and about the emotions when the child leaves the nest. That is one great post and mothers have to always be cautious about their individual identity. I always had that in mind and her post reinstated the same.” (more…)

The thermocol apple tree with thermocol apples and thermocol branches pinned up
As Kirsten wrote in her travel itinerary last Sunday, I do have a tale to tell you, rather my son does.
It is the story of the boy and the apple tree. It’s a very popular story in India and was recently read by my son’s teacher during one of the Parent Teacher meetings.
Let me get on to the beginning of the story. I was called to school one day and informed that my son was selected to represent the school for a story telling competition. (more…)
by World Moms Blog | Sep 25, 2011 | India, Polish Mom Photographer, The Alchemist, USA, World Moms Blog Itinerary
On Monday start the week in California, where we will hear from Polish Mom Photographer. This mom ponders the fact that her former milk-guzzling child is now refusing some major sources of dairy, and she touches on the age-old picky eater problems faced by moms everywhere.
On Tuesday, we head to Pennsylvania to hear from a new writer, Twinmom112. She writes a poignant post about growing up with an alcoholic mother, and how she tries to prevent her childhood memories from clouding her own experiences as a mother.
On Wednesday, we cross the Atlantic to visit with the Alchemist in India. This mom of an adorable little boy is an engineering guru – and yes, you can still be a guru even if you no longer actually practice the profession. She is also a writer, and always has interesting tales to tell.
And on Thursday we are back in the United States, with Galit Breen in Minnesota. Galit is a former world traveler, she is a wife, mom, dog owner and writer. She has gorgeous kids who do adorable things. And whenever you read one of her articles, you are guaranteed to be informed and entertained.
On Friday Eva Fannon leads us in the Friday Question. Be sure to check it out and chime in with your answers!
In writer interviews this week, on Tuesday we will hear from Diana @ Hormonal Imbalances from Texas.
Next week we can look forward to posts every day from Monday to Friday. Our weekly questions will be moved to a new column called the Saturday Sidebar.

This week’s Friday Question comes from World Moms Blog writer Maggie Ellison. She asked our writers,
“In your opinion, or role as a parent, is spanking children an acceptable form of discipline?”
Here’s what some of our World Moms had to say…
Salma of Ontario, Canada writes:
“I have spanked my children, and it wasn’t the best option. I found that it is best to deal with each child based on his personality.
The times when I did spank it was out of fear (kids run into traffic etc). I realized that it was my fear that led me to REACT.
From my experience, spanking doesn’t empower children, so I don’t think it’s a good form of discipline.” (more…)

This week’s Friday Question comes from World Moms Blog writer Tara B. in Washington State…
She asked our writers,
“When, if ever, will you give you child a cell phone of their own?”
Check out what some of our World Moms had to say…
Kirsten Doyle of Ontario, Canada writes:
“It’s funny that this comes up as the question! Just a few days ago, I discovered that one of my son’s friends has her own cell phone. The kid is SIX, and this just seems wrong and bizarre to me.
My kids are still at the age where they are under adult supervision at all times. With someone watching them all the time, there is no need for them to have a cell phone. When the time comes for them to spend any time unsupervised, I will reevaluate this.” (more…)
