Lately…

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

T minus one month less a day until our wedding! I have been feeling very, very relaxed lately because I’ve got most of the things done that need to be done. In a couple of weeks I’ll be getting a haircut, dying my hair and baking a couple of batches of cookies that can be [...]

Rhubarb

Posted by: typealice In: Baby|Family|Gillian

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!

Crepe Paper Flowers

Posted by: typealice In: Wedding

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 take a [...]

Wedding Food

I LOVE veggie dogs with all the toppings (ketchup, mustard, green relish, rhubarb relish and cheeze whiz). I love shish kabob’d vegetables [...]

The Cleanse: Day Nine

Posted by: typealice In: Daily|Family|Gillian

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 have [...]



  • Asheo: 3rd birthday is coming up really soon! So a few days early... Happy Birthday Ash!
  • April: I feel the blog revolt as well. I am not comfortable saying some of the things I would like to say with strangers, and I don't feel I'm able to mask
  • Stefanie: Hello, I have been a follower of yours since the BME days… and have always found your blog fascinating. This came across my blog today, and I though

About

I'm Gillian, a world-traveller turned natural parent. I believe in primal parenting; breastfeeding, baby wearing, cosleeping, cloth diapering, elimination communication, vegetarianism and all things natural. I have very strong parenting views. There's nothing better in my life than my days with my kid. Also: sushi and sweet white wine, skinny jeans and black tshirts, torrents and sugar.

My sustainable accessories company Pip Robins keeps me busy in the evenings.
