A Job Well Done

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

Last week I was told that the company I’ve been working for since late-August would like to move me to a different department and hire me on as their employee (instead of continuing on through the placement agency I initally got the job through). This was very good news! It’s a good thing to [...]

Red Flags

I grew up with a vegetarian hippie mother (who still ate fish) and an extreme meat-eater step father. This resulted in a very interesting diet.

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.
