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 such [...]

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!

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 [...]

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 he [...]

  • Asheo: 3rd birthday is coming up really soon! So a few days early... Happy Birthday Ash!
  • April: I feel the blog revolt as well. I am not comfortable saying some of the things I would like to say with strangers, and I don't feel I'm able to mask

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.
