Little Lizard Friend

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Book Club

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

Clive and I have a pseudo book club. He and I read the same books; so far I’ve read (he’s read almost all of these as well) in the past five weeks:
Find Her, Keep Her, Anne Marie Winston (SUCKED HORRIBLY)
The Gift of Fear, Gavin DeBecker (Informative)
1/3 of Broken Wings, VC Andrews (Horrible, again)
Fear Nothing, Dean [...]

CBC

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Family| Gillian

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.
I [...]

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. [...]

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
