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.

My Story of Losing $275k in Bitcoin and How I Got It Back
I’m one of the fortunate individuals who ventured into the cryptocurrency market with hopes of building a nest egg for retirement.

I lost everything, including funds borrowed from friends in my investment quest. Just when I thought all was lost, I discovered the cryptocurrency recovery experts at JetWebHackers. They successfully helped me recover my funds within 72 hours, and I was even able to track down the scammers.

I was one of the individuals who lost their crypto assets when Coin Market was hacked. At first, I was confused about what had happened, I couldn’t find anything wrong with my wallet. It wasn’t until I contacted Morphohack, a crypto recovery team introduced to me by my cousin who works at the Reserve Bank of Australia, that the issue became clear.
Morphohack investigated my case and discovered that I had unknowingly connected my wallet to Coin Market. When the site was hacked, the attackers were able to access my wallet through that connection. As a result, I lost approximately $761,000.
I’m sharing this to raise awareness about the Coin Market hack and to let others know that recovery is possible. If you were affected, Morphohack may be able to help you recover your lost crypto assets. Reach them at Morphohack@cyberservices. com
