Little Lizard Friend

Posted by: typealice In: BVI|Daily

Little Lizard Friend Today I watched a lizard try to catch mosquitos for hours upon hours on our windowsill. I went outside and he allowed me to get very close to him with my camera. He sure was cute.

Airmiles

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Gillian|Travelling

I’ve never collected airmiles on anything other than gasoline, despite how many flights I’ve taken in the past seven years. I tallied (almost) all of them up yesterday morning. I think I’ve missed a couple to/from Halifax/Ontario, but here’s the majority of them, anyway. When I write them all down, i just stare at this [...]

The Simpsons

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Gillian|Links

Those who know me, know that I am not a fan of The Simpsons. I will watch it only if I’m living in Mexico with no television, forced to download all shows and I live with two males who have downloaded it, and I have nothing else to do. I watched more Simpsons when I [...]

CBC

When I was growing up I was subjected to a lot of hard and classic rock. Pink Floyd, Meatloaf, Bon Jovi, CCR, Dire Straits: when I hear any of these bands, I flashback to the log house I grew up in, and I sometimes (if I let myself) end up feeling ten years old again. [...]

Funniest, Ever

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Fishing|I <3 Clive

This picture was taken this summer on one of our fishing trips. It cracks me up. We’d been trying to get the timing right to have a neat “diving off the wharf” picture, and this is one of our outtakes. I don’t remember the reason why we didn’t actually jump, but Clive’s facial expression and [...]

Nova Scotia

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Family|Travelling

In a week I’m going to Nova Scotia to visit my family. It’s not a trip that Clive and I can afford, but I’m going to go anyway. I’m really excited. Of all the places I’ve been in the world, no where has felt like home like Nova Scotia does. I love it there. I [...]

About

I'm Gillian, a world-traveller turned natural parent. I believe in primal parenting; breastfeeding, baby wearing, cosleeping, cloth diapering, elimination communication, vegetarianism and all things natural. I have very strong parenting views. There's nothing better in my life than my days with my kid. Also: sushi and sweet white wine, skinny jeans and black tshirts, torrents and sugar.

My sustainable accessories company Pip Robins keeps me busy in the evenings.
