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.

HOW I LOST MY ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS INVESTING IN BITCOIN AND CRYPTO INVESTMENT
I was lured into crypto investment by a broker I met on Instagram, who convinced me of the huge opportunity and profit I could make from investing and buying cryptos, I was naive with little to no knowledge about crypto and how it all works. I ended up losing all my life savings and everything to my name after investing more than a million into this scheme. I was bankrupt and paying back loans I had took to invest, until a business associate of mine told me about MorphoHack Cybersecurity service that can help me recover my investment funds and secure my account as well, At first I was a bit doubtful but I gave it a try and contacted them, Morphohack was very patient with me and was very professional in assisting me recover my investment funds, I was able to get back all the money I had invested into this scheme with my profits along with it. I’m highly grateful for their service and recommend them to anyone who lost their assets to fake investment schemes. They can be reached via the following;
