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.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via +1 807 907 2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
HOW TO HIRE A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE WITH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
My name is Robert Alfred, and I’m from Australia. I’m posting my experience with the hope that it will be helpful to others who’ve been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I became the victim of a false crypto investment scam linked with a broker company. I’d invested heavily at the time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a golden opportunity. I was unfortunately scammed of $120,000 AUD and the broker blocked me from accessing my digital wallet and funds. It was a terrible experience that gave me a lot of sleepless nights. Cryptocurrency scams are increasingly common today and typically include fraudulent trading websites, phishing, and fake investment proposals. I was desperate, and a friend from the crypto community suggested Web Bailiff Contractor Service, which had a reputation for assisting victims in recovering stolen or lost funds. I did my research, read some positive reviews, and contacted Web Bailiff Contractor. I gave them all the information required—wallet addresses, transaction history, and chat logs. Their professional team got back to me immediately and started the investigation. Using sophisticated blockchain tracking methods, they traced the stolen Dogecoin, located the scammer’s wallet, and worked together with the appropriate authorities to freeze the funds before they were transferred. Miraculously, within a 24-hour period, Web Bailiff Contractor was able to recover the majority of my stolen crypto holdings. I was ecstatic with relief and so thankful. Their professionalism, transparency, and regular updates throughout the process provided me with hope when I was in a very dark place. If you have been a victim of a crypto scam, then I highly suggest them with absolute confidence reaching out

Even when I dated my wife for years, cohabited with her and vetted her thoroughly and ensured her family accepted me to part of them, the fact that ferminity is mallaeble came to play out in my marriage. She had some close friends who were single and most are still single till date. They had a huge influence on my wife and that alone always made us had issues. Eventually she left me and i had to seek help from SPIRITUAL UYI knowing he is capable of restoring the love and happiness we shared and to also get her back to me. I complied with everything SPIRITUAL UYI told me and my wife came back home with regrets of paying attention to fake friends and we are happy together again now.

HIRE A PHONE HACKER-WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I never once suspected my husband, and our marriage had been founded upon a lifetime of respect, history, and a life that we could be proud of having created together. Recently, however, I couldn’t ignore the nagging suspicion that something was wrong. My husband became guarded—his phone wasn’t more than an inch from his hand, and he was being strangely secretive regarding his privacy. It was last Wednesday that I could not help but get the feeling that something was amiss. I am not the jealous type, but the indicators were too difficult to overlook. Something in my gut cried out that there was more to it. Some research online later, I discovered an application meant to trace one’s phone developed by a cyber security firm known as Web Bailiff Contractor. To make it simple for any interested entity within the app, simply email them at webbailiff@contractor.net. It was nothing to be proud of, but my instinct said it was the only way to get to the truth. I paid for the services, purchased the spy app that connected his phone to mine and the app started bringing up messages, call logs, and social media activities. I remember my heart sinking as I scrolled through conversation after conversation with a woman named Rachel. They were flirtatious, with inside jokes, and made plans to meet up. I felt a rush of betrayal as my worst suspicions were confirmed. I haven’t yet mustered the courage to confront him because I’m still in shock. So I’m still spying on him.
