Two Thousand and Five

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

2005 started with the feeling of not being able to breath. Figuratively. I hated where my life was. Where it was, and where it was going. I was with a boyfriend who I’d argue with and who would semi-frequently leave bruises on my body. I never thought that I’d allow myself to be in [...]

New Years :(

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

Clive and I have no plans for New Years! We don’t have a car, friends, or money. We need suggestions for fun things to do at home when there’s just two people.
We’ve already thought of sex, so you can leave out that suggestion!

Those who know me (and there aren’t very many) know that it’s hard for me to settle in one place for a long period of time. Tomorrow marks FOUR months since Clive and I left Toronto to come to the BVI. We came here with the idea that we’d stay until April; now the [...]

Clive and I are exchanging gifts and having xmas dinner tonight because we’re going to Anegada tomorrow morning. We’ll be staying there until Monday evening, and I can’t wait to get out of here for a little while.
I am a genius, by the way. I had the idea to barter my web design [...]

Judy’s Chocolate Fancies

Posted by: typealice In: Cooking| Daily

Here’s the recipe everyone’s been waiting for! And yes, it’s easily vegan-izable. Just use margarine that doesn’t have whey, use soy milk, egg subsitute and hopefully you can find some graham crumbs that are vegan as well…
In double boiler mix:
1/2 c butter
1 egg
3 Tbsp cocoa
1/4 c sugar
When everything’s melted and mixed, add:
2c graham [...]

There’s a sandwich contest that Clive and I are entering this week at a local deli. First prize is ten free sandwiches! Clive and I brainstormed today to create our sandwich creations in order to participate. Clive’s idea is chicken and bacon and bar-b-q sauce and tomato and lettuce. The kicker is the name [...]

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.
