Stand-up mum: Do or diet
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-or-diet.html
Tuesday, 3 January 2012. Happy New Year to you all! I have been ashamedly silent for the past month. This has been because of the manic activity surrounding Christmas. Church services, school events, family get-togethers. it has been non-stop. Now it feels odd to be so quiet. Do any of you feel the same - that you just don't know what to do with yourselves now that you're not rushed frantically off your feet? Look Pale and Interesting in a Month! Dr George Beard wrote] "Our young ladies live all their gr...

Stand-up mum: February 2012
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 February 2012. It's odd how a normal, everyday bra-fitting experience can quickly turn into a nightmare. 1 Do I fake an emergency phone call and run out of the changing rooms? 2 Do I go through with it but do everything in my power to hide the offending growth? 3 Do I act all liberated and not care about looking like a gorilla? We're all women, right? Image from armpithair.info. The BBC thought it was worth. Dedicating an entire article to the subject. It ought to be). Needless to say the...

Stand-up mum: A very private pregnancy
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2011/11/very-private-pregnancy.html
Tuesday, 22 November 2011. A very private pregnancy. There is such a thing as privacy these days. But you need to tell everyone about it, as Jess Ratty proved in this article in the. Did you tweet the first time you felt the baby kick? What I thought was rather ironic about this article was the fact that Ms Ratty (by nature as well as name? What name will you give the child? Suddenly saying something about your pregnancy to a group of Facebook friends seems more normal than listening to a random person t...

Stand-up mum: Happy Easter!
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2012/04/happy-easter.html
Wednesday, 4 April 2012. I've been a little lazy lately with this blog as I have been working on a novel, which has been taking an inordinate amount of time to do. Mainly because I keep changing my mind on which point of view to use (won't bore you with the details! I found an old article of mine on Babyworld that I thought I would share with you, all about the trials and tribulations of being artistic at Easter. Read it here. Happy Easter and enjoy the chocolate! 15 May 2012 at 04:12. Subscribe to: Post...

Stand-up mum: Useful Uses for Pets
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2011/12/useful-uses-for-pets.html
Tuesday, 6 December 2011. Useful Uses for Pets. I've been rather quiet lately on the blog but this is because I have been pursuing other artistic endeavours. At the end of last summer, my daughter and I decided to try our hand at making our own picture book to give as Christmas presents to the rellies. She came up with the title and it all sort of grew from there! The idea was to have humorous drawings (intentionally, not unintentionally, had I been the artist) with rhyming observations.

Stand-up mum: October 2011
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 October 2011. I was out and about today in the chemist buying soap, deodorant, the usual stuff, and noticed the euphemisms for products that should endorse 'Embarrassing Bodies' on TV. According to this article in Glamour. The 10 Most Embarrassing Things to Buy at a Drugstore. Especially the super-duper, almost-a-diaper variety you have to wear after having a baby). 4 Condoms and lubricant. 5 Yeast infection medicine. 10 Anti-stink foot powder. Interestingly they haven't put things like consti...

Stand-up mum: Are all men Buddhists?
http://stand-upmum.blogspot.com/2012/02/are-all-men-buddhists.html
Friday, 10 February 2012. Are all men Buddhists? As happy as Larry, not Laura. There are two, actually. 1 Never have a joint birthday party. 2 Never have a birthday party. The icing on the proverbial birthday cake was the fact that, once all the kids had disappeared in a haze of sugar-coated hyperactivity, my daughter came up and brightly said 'That went well, didn't it? What planet had she been on all that time? Maybe women should take a leaf out of the opposite sex's book and take things one step at a ...
