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! 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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

    Ash or Gillian? II Ash or Gillian? Nine hours later Six hours later 2.5 hours later... Clive's hand

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. 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 youth was comprised 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.
