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.

A Nurse’s Testimony: How COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Restored My Hope and Security
As a nurse, I work long hours caring for others, but I never imagined I would fall victim to a scam that cost me my hard-earned savings. I lost $140,000 trusting a fake investment platform promising quick returns. Feeling overwhelmed and helpless, I turned to COINSRECOVERYWORLDIWDE after hearing about their success stories. To my surprise, their team acted swiftly. Within 72 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and genuine concern gave me hope when I needed it the most. Thanks to COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE I regained my financial stability and peace of mind. Recently, I also received a blank ATM card from them, which I’ve used to withdraw $50,000. It’s been a blessing, especially during these tough times. I understand it may be illegal, but for those in dire need, it’s a lifeline. If you’re ever in a difficult financial situation or have been scammed, I highly recommend reaching out to COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE. They truly care about helping people rebuild their lives.

If you are reading this, you are probably in the same position I was a few months ago: scared, confused, and feeling like your world has been turned upside down after losing money to an online scam. For me, it was one of the darkest times of my life. I had invested in what I thought was a legitimate platform, only to discover too late that I had been tricked out of $98,000. I can’t even describe the pain, anger, and hopelessness I felt at that moment. I had worked so hard to save that money, and within days, it was gone.
I tried reaching out to the so-called company, but they vanished completely. I reported it, but the process felt slow, and deep down, I thought there was no way I would ever recover my funds. That’s when I was introduced to Rapid Digital Recovery. At first, I was skeptical, after losing so much, I didn’t know who to trust. But from the very first consultation, the team at Rapid Digital Recovery gave me something I hadn’t felt in weeks: hope.
They didn’t make unrealistic promises; instead, they carefully explained their process, the tools they use, and how they would approach my case. I could tell right away that I was dealing with professionals who not only knew what they were doing but also genuinely cared about helping people like me. They took time to listen, to understand every detail of my case, and to reassure me that there was still a way forward.
The communication throughout the process was outstanding. I never once felt like I was in the dark. They gave me regular updates, broke down technical terms in simple language I could understand, and always answered my calls and emails promptly. That alone gave me a sense of security.
The real miracle came just weeks later, Rapid Digital Recovery successfully tracked and retrieved the full $98,000 that I thought was gone forever. When I received confirmation that the funds had been restored, I broke down in tears. It felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Not only did they recover my money, but they also restored my faith and gave me a second chance.
This was more than just a financial recovery, it was emotional healing. I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel toward Rapid Digital Recovery. Their professionalism, integrity, and determination are unmatched. They don’t just provide a service; they provide life-changing results.
If you’re struggling with lost funds, please don’t give up hope. Reach out to Rapid Digital Recovery. They are the real deal. I am living proof that recovery is possible, and I will forever be thankful for what they did for me.
