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.

Recovering stolen cryptocurrency is difficult, but not impossible. I actually went through this earlier this year, and I’ll share exactly what worked for me because I know how overwhelming it feels.
After I realized I had been scammed, I spent days reading posts on Quora and Reddit. Most comments said recovery isn’t realistic, and many of the “contact this person on WhatsApp/Telegram” replies looked suspicious. What finally helped was focusing on legitimate blockchain forensic analysis instead of random “hackers.”
The specialist I contacted used scanner-based blockchain tracking tools to trace the movement of my funds from the scam address through multiple wallets. They explained every step, showed the transaction paths, and prepared a detailed report that could be submitted to the exchange where the funds eventually landed.
It wasn’t instant, and it wasn’t magic. It was simply a professional investigation based on how the blockchain works. With that documentation, the exchange was able to freeze the relevant account, verify the activity, and—after their internal review—release the recovered funds back to me.
My biggest advice to anyone who has been scammed:
• Avoid anyone promising “instant recovery” or asking to be contacted privately off Quora.
• Look for analysts or recovery teams who explain their process, show transaction tracking, and use proper tools.
• Be patient—real recovery depends on evidence and cooperation with platforms, not shortcuts.
I’m sharing this because I wish someone had explained it clearly when I was panicking. Proper blockchain tracing made my recovery possible, and it might help others in the same situation.
