I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left. 
Are Unschoolers Birth Friendly?
I’ve read and reread Mrs. Hannigan’s digestion of going to the Rethinking Education conference. I’m still really bummed that we weren’t able to go again this year thanks to expenses. So I’m waiting with baited breath for her to share all the details so I can pretend to have been there.
As I was reading and whining to myself I noticed that she mentioned the Life Is Good conference in Vancouver WA. And my heart skipped a beat. That’s just right over the line from Portland, and since Dearest is still searching like a mad man for a good job in that area we might have a shot. The cost is cheaper, which is awesome, and if we’re living in the areas we might not need a hotel. So there I was bouncing up and down in my seat. until I saw the dates.
May 21-24.
Um, yeah. That when I’m due. Crap. Maybe if I’m a couple weeks early I’ll be up to trying it, or maybe I’ll go late by a couple weeks. But most likely I’ll be right on the money just because my body likes to spite me. Though, thinking about it, that might not be such a horrible deal. I mean looking at the area and that it’s mostly unschoolers attending I’m pretty sure there will be at least a doula or two in the crowd. Maybe even a midwife. How cool would that be for an unschooling experience?
“Hey! Round up the kids and get to room 214! Summer’s in labor and we don’t want to miss the educational moments!”
Yes, I dislike a circus of doctors and nurses surounding me while in labor but I’m fine with a room full of home schooled kids learning about the process of birth. Feel free to click away now.
LOL. It’s the unschooling version of health education class! Excellent! And much more exciting and interactive than the lectures those school kids get.
You’re too funny.
I think you would LOVE Portland, and us West Coast bloggers are pretty cool, too!

Unschoolers are SO birth friendly!
Quite a few midwives involved in that bunch, as a matter of fact– one you know quite well.
First off I was unschooled (well I had a math textbook) and second Amy (Crunchy Domestic Goddess) sent me over here because I was looking for eco bloggers in Oklahoma and she said you are one. Do you mind if I ask where in Oklahoma?
