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.

Online fraudsters are one of the main reasons why i hate the internet. my mom got hacked recently and they had access to some private information. We had to hire private investigators THEPHONEHACKER99 @ GMAIL COM to help us regain control of her accounts. Lucky for us we were able to recover all that we lost through the help of the hackers.
I am Gavin Sparks, a Sweden born programmer living in Phoenix. After mining 100 btc worth $2.6M early 2021, I decided to sell off my old laptop and had to save all the wallets’ private keys and passwords to a small hard drive known as Iron keys. Unluckily the drive got lost. I tried several times to enter the password with no luck. I had to look for a hacker’s help to revive my wallet. That’s when I came across Recovery Masters, modernized experts in crypto Recovery. After a serious conversation with them my wallet was retrieved back with all my funds intact. I Must recommend them for the good and reliable services.
