Wanted:

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Wedding

Wanted: A girl friend who wants to talk about weddings for five hours per day (but only when I feel up to it). Must be creative and crafty and stingy. Must have great ideas to have a fun and inexpensive wedding. It would help if said girl has been to some recent weddings and knows [...]

Gym

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Wedding

So Clive and I have been going to the gym for the past month. I LOVE going to the gym. Seriously, it makes me feel so good. Clive’s been doing a lot of weight training in order to gain back some of the weight he’s lost since moving here (and basically becoming a vegetarian). He’s [...]

Fishing Fury!

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Fishing

Well, I got into my writing-mode a while back and wrote an article for my fiance and his best friend’s website, Fishing Fury.
The website was down for a few weeks because Jon donated it to help out with BME, but the site is back, and back with vengence!
The article may not be subject matter that [...]

Hard times

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Gillian| Travelling

I’m having a really hard week. Tuesday hasn’t even ended yet, I’m fully aware.
I have moved around (at least) every eight months since January 1997 at age 17. I tend to stay in one spot for four to six months. The shortest time I’ve stayed somewhere after moving there was when I moved to Florida [...]

As per your request!

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

I spent some time taking pictures this weekend of almost everything that you requested to see pictures of, and here they are!
My house, as I guess I’ve failed to mention before, is a bachelor apartment. Clive and I live semi-comfortably in one small room. We have absolutely no privacy, and for that reason I hope [...]

View from my home on a rainy day

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

I stole this idea from someone on BME:
Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you`re remotely interested in.
It can be anything from the house I live in to my favourite pair of shoes.
Leave your requests in the comment forum below and I’ll post the ones you asked for in [...]

Cock Fights!

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Gillian| Videos

Here’s the third edition of my video-BVI series. This one features a cock fight (over a piece of my pastery), tropical flowers, the beach where Clive and I want to get married, our cat and a bunch of other stuff.
I love the song by Hans Zimmer. It’s from the movie “True Romance” which is one [...]

Reality TV

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

How mad was I when Chloe won Project Runway? HOLY-MAD. WTF? I’d been rooting for Santino the entire way through, but towards the end had hoped that Daniel would win. I think Debra Messing is a fucking idiot for liking her 80s prom dress style collection. And that basically goes for anyone who liked her [...]

iPod Link

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

First, let me say thank you to everyone who’s been worrying about Clive and his health. I didn’t really follow up on what his condition is (and I still wont), or how he’s we’re coping.
He’s doing okay. The medication seems to be working, slowly and surely, and our stress level is going down. Today he [...]

Lizard!!

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

Clive and I went shopping yesterday and had this conversation with a tactless woman:
“How long have you been together?”
“A year.
“You look like brother and sister, you know. Until I heard the way you were speaking to him I thought you were siblings.”
“Um, no. We’re engaged.”
Isn’t it RUDE for people to tell us they think that [...]

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.
