My mother came to my house today and my sister came over and we made rhubarb relish and rhubarb jam. My kitchen was a disaster! But mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, rhubarb relish! And even more mmmmmmmmmmmm, rhubarb jam!
Ambera and I are going to do more canning this summer. I haven’t done any since 2004. It’s something I [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time in front of the television in the past few days making these crepe paper flowers for our centrepieces. I think they’re turning out beautifully, and I’m really excited to see the final product. I plan on fully assembling them in a couple of weeks when I [...]
Dear Ash,
You’re 3/4 of a year old! This month has been great. You’ve slept better than you ever have before, you took your first plane ride (or six) and you did phenomenally, and you cut FOUR teeth in the last half of the month. But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself…
We took a trip to [...]
When Clive and I decided on a cottage wedding, we basically signed up for barbecue and all the fixin’s as our menu. Outside of breakfast food, barbecue is my favorite thing to eat. I LOVE veggie dogs with all the toppings (ketchup, mustard, green relish, rhubarb relish and cheeze whiz). I love shish kabob’d vegetables [...]

My sister and I have been doing Kathy Freston’s (as seen on Oprah) 21-day cleanse since last Monday.
It’s going surprisingly well. Outside of an accidental cheat (I didn’t read the packaging closely enough), I haven’t broken down at all and actually haven’t come close, either. I don’t really feel any different, but I [...]

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.
