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.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I talked to you a month ago.I never imagined you would be able to retrieve my USDT assets from the scammers this quickly. I was super skeptical at first since it was the first time I heard of someone much less a company being in a position to trace and recover digital assets lost to fraudulent transactions. Having been rejected for a withdrawal request, I approached their support desk and their representative for help but to my disappointment they were demanding some kind of settlements every time before I could withdraw my money. A colleague suggested looking for " Digital assets recovery solutions " on the Internet and hence I did. After sorting through about a dozen different info’s on firm’s and recovery agents, I was beginning to lose hope then I eventually stumbled upon your Web Bailiff Contractor RECOVERY CENTRE info and enjoyed reading the reviews I found.
