On Monday we’re part of a blog carnival, and who doesn’t like a good carnival? Jennifer Burden, our founder from New Jersey, will be writing a post for international childhood vaccine advocates Shot@Life.
On Tuesday, we head to UAE to hear from Manna Hatta Mamma. This mom lives in a melting pot of cultural diversity, where everyone seems to make statements about other groups on the basis of what their cultural background is. She ponders the question of how to erase the divisions between groups.

This week the writers and editors of World Moms Blog are taking a much-deserved break.
There is a lot happening at this time of the year. Those in North America are observing Canada Day and the Fourth of July. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is summertime – and a hot one too! Many schools are out for the summer holidays and people are going away for vacations and long weekends. Our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are bundling up and turning on their heaters as they go through their winter.
For the week of July 2nd, we at World Moms Blog will be taking a time-out to focus on whatever is happening in our necks of the woods. We will be back in full force the week of July 9th. Check back on Saturday, July 7th for the next travel itinerary!

On Monday meet us in the Middle East, where we’ll go to Tel-Aviv, Israel to talk about different thoughts on, as Susie calls it, “bad mothering.” Susie felt conflicted about going on a brief vacation and seeing her grown son in the hospital for an ear infection. Are there times when you felt like a bad mother, but knew that you had to choose to do something for yourself?
On Tuesday, we’re off to Asia, where we meet up with Ms. V, our resident yogi, in South Korea. Her post is titled, “Raising the F Word”, and in it she’s hot on the topic of feminism and teaching it to our daughters and sons. And why being a feminist is so important to her. This is one for the Human Rights column!
On Wednesday, meet us in Capetown, South Africa! Mamma Simona discusses the stereotypes surrounding a “Mama’s Boy” and a “Daddy’s Girl”. Her children have broke the molds! Would you say that your child connects more with you, or your partner?
