Natural Father is growing from the seed of natural parenting and attachment parenting and unschooling, and is fed with the joy of fatherhood, simple living, and positivity. We support local food production, starting with our own gardens. We are also regulars at the farmers market and our local food co-op, buying in bulk for the best prices. The dream of the homestead is still alive and our self-sufficient zero-energy input green home is being planned. Our permaculture oasis is a sustainable small-scale village.
Single-speed bicycles, drumming, and DIY anything can really make us grin.

A while back I started a series (okay, I say series, but this is only the second one) tagged Clark Kent's Icebox . On these posts I display some of the kids' artwork on a refrigerator they same way you would at home when your children bring home pictures you want to show off. The difference with Clark's Icebox being that the refrigerator is a "virtual" fridge (you'll see, bare with me). Now that school's started, there's practically a limitless supply of items to be hung so I'll probably do this a little more (then I can call it a series for real). I ... Read Full Story

We had our oldest son in the hospital and he was circumcised at birth, partly because we didn't know any better, and partly because I wanted him to "be like me" ("it's normal, everyone does it"). I decided that I would accompany him and be with him during the process because I needed to know what it entailed, and I wasn't going to send him to a room with the doc by himself. After witnessing his birth and holding his tiny body to my chest, being filled with love and awe at this miracle, I couldn't let him be taken behind closed doors to ... Read Full Story

Argentina calls it their national drink. Uruguayans, Brazilians and Paraguayans consume large amounts of it. North Americans and Europeans are picking up on it. What the heck is it? Yerba mate consists of the leaves and small stems of a type of holly that grows in Argentina and surrounding countries. The proper name is ilex paraguariensis , and it is the traditional drink of the Guarani Indians. Its leaves contain xanthine , an alkyloid in the same family as caffeine and theobromine. Some will say that " mateine ", as they style it, is not caffeine, but mateine is just a synonym for caffeine ... Read Full Story

From the New York Times: A world-renowned Harvard child psychiatrist whose work has helped fuel an explosion in the use of powerful antipsychotic medicines in children earned at least $1.6 million in consulting fees from drug makers from 2000 to 2007 but for years did not report much of this income to university officials, according to information given Congressional investigators. This guy and his cronies are in the pockets of the corporate drug dealers, and use fear and "studies" (read: "carefully crafted presentations of select data taken out of context that supports someone's agenda and makes a profit") to drug children in the name ...

Don't let this be you! Having a homebirth without a midwife is a radically empowering experience, whether by choice or by accident. Unassisted childbirth is the term, although that implies that you usually need assistance in giving birth. I prefer the term free birth, and can heartily recommend it for anyone that wants a safe, cheap, DIY homebirth. Many people choose hospital or birth centers to have their children, and fear plays a big part in making that decision. The medical establishment, the media, the insurance industry and our modern culture of "experts" all contribute to the fear factor in natural homebirth. For a ... Read Full Story
