Television and other unnecessaries

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

I called our local cable/internet/telephone provider today and got our cable cut off. I have hardly turned on the TV all summer and it just didn’t seem worth the extra expense now that my maternity leave is over and I’m left on my own to keep up with my bills and I hardly have any [...]

A Wedding Story

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

The Day Before Clive and I arrived at the cottage on Saturday, the day before the wedding, where we set up as much as we could. The chairs and tables and snow kone machine were delivered on time, and we unloaded several carloads of food and supplies. I was lucky to have massive help from [...]

Three weeks!!

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

A mere three weeks until our big day! I mentioned a few entries ago that people had RSVP’d on very late notice, and now people are informing us that they can’t come. Four people, actually, in the span of about 24 hours have taken back their Yes RSVP and changed it to a No. Both [...]

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 [...]

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 to [...]

When to have the next baby…

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

I’ve been thinking a lot about when I should have the next baby. I have never pictured myself having only one child, never in a million years (and that’s why it was so difficult to think of only ever having one when faced with the reality of isoimmunization), mostly because my siblings are so important [...]

Travelling!!

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

Clive has to go away on business for two weeks in May (then home for a week and then gone for another week). This is his third trip in the seven months he’s worked at this job (first to Toronto and then to Montreal), and this time he’s being sent to Augusta, Georgia. Instead of [...]

He sounds like such a baby

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

Oh man, I miss heat. Today was like +10 so Ash and I were able to just wear our hoodies and not be cold. But it’s not good enough! I want sun and surf and warm ocean water! Clive’s going to GA from May 11-24 on business and we’re going to try to go with [...]

Happy Anniversary!

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

Three years ago today, Clive and I shared our first kiss. On July 27, 2008 we will be married, just like I knew we would be within the first 24 hours of meeting him. These past three years have been the best of my life. Then: Now:



  • 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.
