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.

Even if people have different opinions about hackers, I have dealt with a few of them, so I think Wizard James Recovery Company is great. Email used for communication is (wizardjamesrecovery@mail.com). I invested all of my assets in bitcoin because I wanted to accumulate a sizable portfolio that would weather economic downturns and financial crises when I retired. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as planned. In mid-October, when Bitcoin was worth $72,233, I made my first investment using BINARY OTP and was able to obtain about 4 bitcoins. However, attempts to withdraw some of my assets proved fruitless as the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $82,000. Suspicions were raised by the company’s persistence on charging a charge to activate the withdrawal capability. Initially interacting with a variety of hackers, none were genuine; their intentions were to drain the remaining funds rather than provide support. But after coming across a cryptocurrency forum about Wizard James Recovery Company on my third try, things took a turn. After taking over the work of retrieving my money, Wizard James Recovery Company accomplished it in 96 hours. Wizard James Recovery Company is a great resource for anyone who may have been a victim of a recent cryptocurrency fraud. According to my own experience, their outstanding services are evident, but engaging with them directly is the only way to truly appreciate them.
Wonderful Information, I had credit scores of 450 (TransUnion) 540 (Equifax) in March. I applied for a mortgage loan in April and was not approved because of my low FICO scores. I had seen some wonderful recommendations of a good Credit Agency on the internet about Jerrylink Credit Group. So I contacted him and He help me delete eviction, negative collection items on my credit report, He increase my credit score about 820 excellent score within a few days. I was approved within a week for my mortgage loan and He also help me pay off my credit card debts within few weeks. Contact : jerrylinkgroup@gmail.com
