2007: A Review

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Ten months of pregnancy and gave birth. Oh, if only it was that simple… here are some of those highlights:

Threw up over a piece of hair in a puddle
Watched my weight increase and increase to the highest number it’s ever been
Had stitches
Lost 30 [...]

What are your rules?

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

Clive’s at work and we’re MSNing, and he’s asking me if I want to watch a movie tonight, and suggests an action or a comedy. I have VERY little patience for movies lately, it was a big side effect of being pregnant and now having a child. Clive’s probably watched 150 movies in the past [...]

Ash’s Favorite Song

Posted by: typealice In: Baby| Videos

I didn’t know that three month olds could have favorite songs, but apparently they can. Whenever “One Two Three Four” ends, Ash cries. I play the song five times in a row, and usually dance around with him, but today I taped him sitting in his swing chair to demonstrate his fondness of this song [...]

Dear Ashden: Month Three

Posted by: typealice In: Baby| Monthly Newsletters

Dear Ash,
Today you turn three months old! A couple of days after you were born someone said to me, “The first 3 months will feel like some strange sleep deprived acid trip, but they’ll be gone before you know it and you’ll be pining for the newborn days,” and nothing, NOTHING, could be more true. [...]

Sugar: A Confession

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

I hold a very strong addition, one that I don’t remember my life without. Sugar. It’s literally a life-long addiction, and the things it has made me do are some of my earliest memories:

-When I was in grade four, I stole fruit snacks out of my friends lunches because I wasn’t allowed to eat them- [...]

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.
