May's Carnival - Celebrating Moms!

[Sue Patterson]

May Carnival - Ode to Motherhood!

I've always thought that it takes a certain kind of mom to unschool. As I write that, an entire list of traits pops up in my mind. One of the interesting facts about that though, is that it's probably nothing like the list that pops up in your mind. And that's okay. There's room for all of us!


In this May's Unschooling Blog Carnival, some of the moms and dads in our unschooling blogging community share what the "mom" in their world is like.  This Carnival has a few less entries than usual, but I really want to thank everyone who continues to share their blog posts with the rest of us. Sorry, I haven't been pounding the cyberspace, reminding and nudging bloggers out there. I'll need you to help me do that. 


So step right up and let the Unschooling Blog Carnival begin! The theme, "I am THAT Mom" has surfaced on the internet before. We thought that since Mother's Day is just around the corner, we should celebrate the theme again! Here's a glimpse of some of the moms in our unschooling community. Hope you enjoy it!

Keep on Blogging,

Notes About Future Unschooling Blog Carnivals:

Sadly, the Unschooling Blog Carnival's numbers are shrinking instead of expanding. We figured that everyone is out Living Life!  We're pondering how we want to approach this, and so the Carnival is going to be a little Irregular. (surprise, surprise!)

For the June carnival, we want to do a Tribute to Dads, our unsung heroes. While some take very active roles in our unschooling worlds, others are happy on the sidelines. Many work all week, and come home to a loving, yet chaotic, family setting. Let's let them feel appreciated. Send your post about the Dad in your life for June's Unschooling Blog Carnival to:

We will take July off, and return in August with a Carnival full of encouragement for those choosing NOT to go back to school this month. So start blogging about it! :)

I've had fun with the carnival(s). I'll play next month and when it returns in August.

It's an issue with blog carnivals in general. Taking breaks and switching to a longer schedule can help.

 

As a sort of administrative note, if there are other folks running unschooling blog carnivals and want to post links to them here on RUN, that's fine (and you're welcome to contact me if you need help) - the only caveat is the focus on unschooling.
