On Being a Mother and an Artist
Share
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.

My name is Amanda Dawson, and I want to share my story of how I lost and miraculously recovered—a huge sum of money in cryptocurrency. It all started when I decided to invest $85,000 worth of USDT into what I believed was a promising high-yield investment program. The platform had glowing testimonials, a professional-looking website, and even a financial advisor who convinced me that my money would double in just three months. I transferred my USDT, confident that I had made a smart move. But weeks later, when I tried to withdraw my profits, the website suddenly went offline. The advisor stopped responding, and my heart sank. I had been scammed. For months, I struggled with regret and anger. I reached out to law enforcement, but crypto scams are notoriously hard to trace. I almost gave up hope until a friend mentioned Washington Recovery Pro, a firm specializing in recovering lost cryptocurrency. I contacted them. Their team was professional and transparent—they explained their process and didn’t make false promises. They analyzed my case, tracked the blockchain transactions, and used their expertise in cyber forensics to trace the stolen funds. After weeks of investigation, they identified the scammers’ wallets and worked with legal authorities to freeze and recover the assets. To my amazement, Washington Recovery Pro successfully retrieved my $85,000 USDT and returned it to my wallet. I couldn’t believe it I had gotten my life savings back! Thanks to Washington Recovery Pro, I learned a hard lesson about crypto investments but also discovered that not all hope is lost when scams happen. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, don’t lose hope. Reach out to Washington Recovery Pro they might just be your lifeline to recovery…
