Wedding Ups and Downs

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian| Wedding

We’ve decided to do maple syrup favors for the wedding. Thanks to everyone with their suggestions. It’s the easiest thing to do, and cost effective at $1.95/bottle and they even offer FREE custom labeling for wedding orders of over 24 bottles. They’re a local company too, so it’s a wonderful option.
In case you’re [...]

I’m Shriiiinkiiinng

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian

For someone who claims that TOSing me isn’t personal she sure is going to extreme measures to take it to the next level. First, she SKIPS TOSing me and goes straight to deleting my page. Second, she erases me from the BME Wiki. I give my articles until this time next week to be erased. [...]

In other news, our wedding is in two months minus one day. Very exciting! I am still waiting for my wedding dress and newly engraved wedding bands to arrive in the mail. I [...]

IAM gone, it seems

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian

In case anyone is wondering where my IAM page went, it was deleted without my permission by Rachel. I can only assume it was because I called out her lie in my diary forum.
I cannot believe this horrid and spiteful person is a business owner. Good job! Truly a role model for all [...]

We’re Home

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

We arrived back in Nova Scotia at midnight on Saturday/Sunday. It was a pretty painless trip back until we boarded the plane in Boston to get back into Canada. We taxied out to the runway and then stopped. The pilot came on and told us that there was a mechanical problem and we’d have [...]

Waffle

Posted by: typealice In: Restaurant Curse

It was raining on our last day in GA, so Clive and I decided to take the short walk to the Denny’s just down the street from our hotel for dinner. I ordered a waffle. Bah, their waffle machines were broken, could I order something else please? Okay, french toast instead. Yum. French toast. [...]

Curse of the Restaurants

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian| Restaurant Curse

I have a curse. It’s my Restaurant Curse, one which makes me have something go wrong about 9 out of 10 times I go out to eat. It started in 1998 when I was living in a small town where there were only a couple of restaurants to choose from. My best friend worked there [...]

Ash has learned a new trick! It only took a couple of weeks for him to learn how to clap.

Leaving BME

Posted by: typealice In: Gillian| Links

I’ve left my “home” on the internet recently. For eight years I’ve been a part of IAM/BME and it’s been an enormous part of my life. More enormous than I’m willing to admit, actually. It’s been my source of entertainment and support, my employer for the majority of 2005 and it has been [...]



  • Allahkat: Yeah, really. How DARE you be funny and make jokes! SOMEONE COULD HAVE BELIEVED YOU AND TRIED TO COPY YOU OMFG. :P
  • typealice: I also hope you're being sarcastic- especially as an IAM member (one of the few who can actually read the comments forum and see for yourself ALL of t
  • Siobhan: Robyn: Are you being sarcastic? Why would you be bothered it was an April fool's joke, which was a yearly tradition at BME.

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.
