The Reason Why I’m a Little Sad

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Gillian|Travelling

We found an apartment to rent in London. We spent all day Thursday driving around and writing down numbers of houses that we’d like to rent; Thursday night we went through the newspaper and booked appointments for all day Friday. We saw about ten different places, and settled on a small one bedroom apartment in [...]

Somehow I bought five pairs of shoes in four weeks

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Gillian

I took a picture of all (okay, not all of them, I’m missing at least one pair in this picture) of my shoes the other day after I cleaned up, and realized, “JESUS, where did they all come from?” I somehow purchased five pairs of shoes in the past month. Two pairs of skate shoes, [...]

Behold the Tomato

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Travelling

Leamington sucked. It was just another small town with absoutely nothing special about it. On the way back, however, I fell in love with London, Ontario. We’ll probably move there instead. Hopefully within the next week! The city reminds me a lot of Halifax, and though I hadn’t wanted to live in a city (especially [...]

Off we go!

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

Tomorrow is a big long road trip down to Leamington! We’re going to check it out to see if we want to live there. I’m definitely going to seek out the large tomato tourist information booth. I love road trips with Clive because he’s such a good driver who doesn’t mind doing all the driving. [...]

St. Maarten Video

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

I went to St. Maarten before leaving the Caribbean, and made a video shortly thereafter, but haven’t put it online until now. I can’t promise it’s an exciting video, but I worked on it for a couple of hours and it’d be a shame to never let people see it. It’s mostly a bunch of [...]

Leamington?

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

I spent the weekend with my best friend. We walked around downtown Toronto yesterday for seven hours critiquing people’s clothing. I was oblivious to fashion trends for the past year due to the fact that I was living in the Caribbean where there is NO style. These jean shorts, mid-calf length tights, ruffles and wide [...]

Technology on a Dime

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

I went to Ikea for the first time in my life today. Clive and I have nearly the exact same taste in home furnishings! Then we went to Best Buy and I bought a 250 gig Maxtor hard drive (that I will be using as an external drive) for $96 including tax. They matched a [...]

Blueberry Grunt

Posted by: typealice In: Cooking|Daily

One of the best things about being back in Canada are the cheap groceries. A pint of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries or a quart of strawberries were $10.00 each in the BVI, and here they’re $1-3.00. Last night I bought the ingredients to make Blueberry Grunt. It’s a East Coast of Canada kind of recipe, [...]

  • Stefanie: Hello, I have been a follower of yours since the BME days… and have always found your blog fascinating. This came across my blog today, and I though

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.
