Clive and I went out for Thai food tonight, came home and [I] drank some ice wine (aka nectar of the gods) and then opened all of our presents from one another. Clive is now the proud owner of everything he needs to build wooden fishing lures (MY GOD, there are a lot [...]

Clive and I have what seems like a billion gifts for one another under our tree- I absolutely spoiled him this year, WAY more than I should have, and I was still shopping up until yesterday- not because he needed more stuff- but because I couldn’t stop myself because he’s SO easy to shop for. [...]
The holiday season comes with lots of mixed memories. I can remember, like all of you I’m sure, being a young kid who couldn’t sleep due to the excitement of Christmas coming the next morning. Being able to open up one gift on Christmas Eve seemed to wet my appetite for more, therefore making it [...]
Next year I’m not going to bring out presents before xmas eve, because Clive is DRIVING ME CRAZY! “Let’s open our presents tonight!” he says. “Do you want to open your presents tonight?” “How about if we open all our presents on xmas eve?” “It’s the 12 days of xmas! Why don’t we [...]
When I was in elementary school, the kids had two rites of passages to be popular:
1. You had to be involved in sports. The A team (better players) were the most popular. The B team (medium players) were second in line. The C team was your last hope. It was for people who were had [...]
Clive and I spent every weeknight this week working on our masks for Clive’s work mascarade-themed xmas party, and we didn’t end up getting a photo of ourselves with our own cameras! Hopefully our friends who were extremely camera-happy last night will share theirs. There are a few more pictures over on Clive’s [...]
It snowed 32 inches yesterday! 32! It’s the worst snowstorm in 30 years!
(Click the above sentence for a video or two of the snow.)
Today I seriously reconsidered my dream to move to the Arctic in 2007. I do not enjoy the winter.
Instead of saying “it’s hot” regarding temperature of food or rooms, I say “spicy tomato”. For example, “It’s a spicy tomato in our living room!” Sometimes I even say it with an exaggerated Italian accent. “It’sa spic-ee-a tomatoo-oo in here!”
I have NO idea where this came from or why I say it, but it’s [...]

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.
