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 never thought I would fall victim to a crypto scam until I was convinced of a crypto investment scam that saw me lose all my entire assets worth $487,000 to a crypto investment manager who convinced me I could earn more from my investment. I thought it was all gone for good but I kept looking for ways to get back my stolen crypto assets and finally came across Ethical Hack Recovery, a crypto recovery/spying company that has been very successful in the recovery of crypto for many other victims of crypto scams and people who lost access to their crypto. I’m truly grateful for their help as I was able to recover my stolen crypto assets and get my life back together. I highly recommend their services they carry out all kinds of hacking jobs contact them and thank me later

Are you trying to conceive, worry no more. It all happens as a miracle with the help of Dr Ilekhojie who my friend introduced me to when i was in pains, suffering from several miscarriages issues trying to conceive, he examined me by asking me some few questions on how to know what is causing my infertility and then told me what to do, of which i purchased his pregnancy herbal herbs he sent to me through delivery service. To my greatest surprise i got pregnant in less than 40 days of using the herbal herbs, as instructed by him. Dr Ilekhiojie has finally made me a mom after so many years of trying with wasted efforts. For any woman also finding it difficult trying to conceive try and get his herbs no matter how difficult.

HOW TO HIRE A HACKER TO RECOVER STOLEN BITCOIN. CONSULT A CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT FASTFUND RECOVERY.
What a great success working with the best hacking team out there to recover my lost investment in Bitcoin. Earlier last month, I was involved with this online investment scheme that a friend introduced me to, but little did we know that the company was all a scam and never really existed. However, they were offering huge returns on profits, and that triggered my interest the more. The first few weeks were cool. I got paid out a couple of times. All of a sudden, I couldn’t withdraw my funds again, and this time, I am heavily invested in the company. I tried everything I could. Still, all was to no avail and that’s when I knew I needed an extra help here, made a couple of research on how to recover my funds back and I ended up working with “ FASTFUND RECOVERY “ this team were just very good at what they are doing .. with their help I was able to get back all of my initial investment and profits also. They are the best team that someone who is in the same condition that I was needs right now, and make sure you do just that either through their official email: Fastfundrecovery8 (@)gmail com or on Whatsapp 18075007554. website: https://fastfundrecovery8.wixsite.com/fastfundsrecovery …
