We kick off this week in Canada on Monday, where Toronto mom Kirsten Doyle is wondering about how to approach one of the uglier aspects of parenting: keeping our kids safe from predators. How much do we tell them, and how do we answer questions we may not be quite prepared for?
On Tuesday, we head to India, where The Alchemist has a social good post for us. She talks about her ongoing journey of spiritualism and her quest for enlightenment through an organization that has some surprising similarities with World Moms Blog.
On Wednesday, we’re off to the Philippines to hear from Mrs. P. Cuyugan. She talks about the challenges of raising a child, working, and going to school, and describes how she’s managed to get by with a little help from her mother.
On Thursday we will be in Brazil with Eco Ziva, who is talking about prejudice. She tells us about the cultural implications of raising girls as compared with boys, and talks about how she is trying to teach her kids about tolerance.
On Friday we have a guest post! Chantal Hayes from North Carolina talks about her grief after a pregnancy loss, and how she is just not ready to move on.
On Saturday, check out the Saturday Sidebar with Purnima, where the World Moms give their thoughts on an important topic, and chime in with your answers to this week’s question!
Follow our twitter stream on Monday night (@WorldMomsBlog) because Jennifer Burden will be at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC then at the Strut: “Moms on a Mission” show representing World Moms Blog!

On Monday we will check in with Dee Harlow, who has her hands full as she prepares to move herself and her family all the way to Laos. She tells us how she copes with the stress of trying to get everything together.
On Tuesday, we head to Kenya, where Mama Mzungu talks about how she hired someone to help out in her home. Initially very uncomfortable with the cultural and historic connotations of hiring such a person, she has now mostly made peace with it.
On Wednesday, we will be in California with Polish Mom Photographer, who is baffled by all the fuss surrounding the topic of breastfeeding. Why are women put under so much pressure to breastfeed, and then told not to do it in public? These are some of the questions she ponders.

We’re starting this week in a beautiful corner of the world. On Monday we will be in Cape Town, South Africa with Mama Simona. As a former nanny with some impressive qualifications, she was perfectly equipped to have a smooth-sailing birth experience. Or was she?
On Tuesday, we head to India for another birth story, this time from Fire Crystals! She gives us an eye-opening account of how her hospital treats the birth experience and the new mothers who have just gone through it.
On Wednesday, we will be in Washington with Tara B., who lives far away from the family she grew up with. She tells us about how she took her two-year-old to a place she likes to go when she’s missing her family and needs to find a sense of peace.
