HOLLA!
Here’s a link to a website that I was asked to post. And because I love this person so dearly, I complied.

Meet Alpha, the Betta fish

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

A couple of weeks ago when Clive and I were taking a walk we came across a pile of stuff with a chalk outline around it marked “FREE STUFF”. We came out with a lamp (without a lampshade) and a large fish bowl. Last weekend when we were coming home from the wedding, we thought [...]

GoodLife

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

We joined GoodLife a couple of weeks ago, but because of our opposite schedules we can’t often go together. I wanted to join GoodLife primarily because they had televisions to watch while working out. There’s nothing I dislike more when excersising than seeing the clock slowly tick by, or trying to read a magazine with [...]

Job! TV! Job! TV!

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

I love Project Runway so much that I can’t help but pause the show several times and do something else so that it’ll last longer. I can’t watch the show the nonstop the whole way though because I’m so sad when it’s over. I feel the same way about good seasons of Survivor (read: not [...]

See Ya, Caribbean!

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Videos

Here’s the last installment of my BVI videos. It turned out to be all new footage, and there’s about a minute of footage of our kitten, from a very wee baby into a full fledged cat. Clive chopping a coconut (I left out the video we have of me doing it because, frankly, it’s [...]

Cats and the BVI

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Videos

I tend to not miss the BVI at all, as I didn’t really like it there anyway, but recently when I’ve been trying to fall asleep, snippits of my life there tend to run through my head. When I’m able to forget all the things that I didn’t like (the cost of living, the extreme [...]

This is a Long and Boring Entry

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

Life in London is good. Clive and I are fully settled into our apartment, with much help from Clive’s sister and mother. Because neither of us had ANYTHING as far as household items go, we had to start from scratch. It’s expensive as hell. I can think of a lot better things to do with [...]

Kevin Smith and then some…

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Links

About a month ago I found Kevin Smith’s blog. I spent a couple of hours one day reading about Jason Mewes’ (aka Jay of Jay and Silent Bob) UTTERLY FACINATING multi-part heroin addition struggle ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]), but today, oh today, I [...]

We have no AC

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

Even after living in Africa, Mexico and the Caribbean, I have never EVER experienced heat like this. We heard on the radio that the temperature was between 51 and 49 (about 130F) today. It’s 9:30pm and I wouldn’t doubt that it’s still 35. Unpacking was fun (gooooodbyeeee Mississauga!!!!) but the sweat POURED off of us. [...]

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.
