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.

It took two months, but I was finally able to recover my lost funds. Earlier this year, I found myself caught up in a situation that began innocently enough but quickly spiraled into a financial nightmare. WhatsApp info:+12723 328 343
I had been chatting with a military doctor stationed in South Korea via a hookup site. We connected over a few weeks of casual conversation, and during that time, she introduced me to cryptocurrency. She claimed to have made a significant amount of money through it, offering me an opportunity to get in on the action. At the time, I was going through a rough patch financially, still reeling from a chaotic divorce. I was desperate to rebuild my finances, and her convincing words and success stories piqued my interest. She spoke of massive gains, the kind that promised to turn my situation around. She assured me that I could invest safely and earn substantial returns in a short amount of time. It was tempting, especially considering the money I had from my divorce settlement. In a moment of weakness and hope, I invested $83,000 USD into the crypto venture she recommended. As the weeks passed, my initial excitement turned to confusion and frustration. Every time I tried to withdraw my earnings, I was met with excuses and delays. The so-called “investment platform” kept asking for more money to release my funds. It didn’t take long before I realized that I had been swindled.

Unfortunately, I had invested in a platform that was out to steal from me, I lost around $275,000 to this platform excluding the promised profits.
