On Being a Mother and an Artist
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
Once upon a time I had a cute little studio/box room in our house. When our little baby came along, I kept it for a while, but when it was time for baby to have his own room I was shipped out to the garage to paint between the beer fridge and lawn mower (sob). Seriously though, I have tried so hard to keep going with my painting - even buying a nice big playpen to put next to my easel (see below!) because obviously baby was going to be absolutely fine playing next to me while I painted, not needing me at all...
It's really, really tricky to juggle motherhood and art. To be honest, the last thing I felt like doing in the sleep deprived first ten months (yes, ten!!) was putting paint to canvas. Even getting dressed felt like an effort. The best times I found to draw were when he was sleeping...but he has only just started sleeping in his cot (at 13 months). Before that I pushed the pram back and forth with one hand and drew with the other.
This blog is going to be about how I juggle my beloved little being and the relentless pull to create.

Trust, love and honesty are the three keys to a successful relationship. Any relationship in which these three elements are missing would only stay for a while, that is why you need to know deeply the acts and attitude of who you claim to love to ensure the love isn’t one sided affair. I was ravaged and entangled with my ex-husband cause he was the best being I ever known until he started acting strange and that gave me a suspicion. At first, the love was in the air before the war started. He keeps late nights, always clinging to his phone and devices, show non-chap at attitude at home and never wanting to do are home routine which was unusual of him. I sought for a marriage counsellor’s advice which he was present and was asked what was going on he didn’t yield positively to the questions asked that got me more suspicious but went back to his newly embraced acts. I spoke to a colleague who introduced me to this great IT personnel which you must have heard about (THEPHONEHACKER99 @ GMAIL.COM) who helped him through his divorce case when he was having similar issues with his ex-wife.

HOW I GOT BACK MY BITCOIN FUNDS WITH THE HELP OF 1 WIZARD HACKES
My name is Julia Brooke and I’m from West Virginia, USA. A few months after my retirement, I was introduced to cryptocurrency trading and investment by a group that contacted me online. Unknowingly to me, I was being catfished. I lost almost all my retirement savings to these men.
I had given up and was depressed until a friend of mine told me about 1 WIZARD HACKES, a cryptocurrency recovery company with 100% success stories. I didn’t hesitate to contact this company and I provided them with all the information including my wallet address, It took 1 WIZARD HACKES 48 hours to recover my money. I’m truly grateful for their service and I recommend their service to everyone willing to recover their cryptocurrency funds.

Online fraudsters are one of the main reasons why i hate the internet. my mom got hacked recently and they had access to some private information. We had to hire private investigators THEPHONEHACKER99 @ GMAIL COM to help us regain control of her accounts. Lucky for us we were able to recover all that we lost through the help of the hackers.
