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.

WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR; USDT, BITCOIN SCAM RECOVERY AGENCY
In bitcoin investment schemes, scammers contact investors claiming to be seasoned “investment managers.” As part of the scheme, the so-called investment managers claim to have made millions investing in cryptocurrency and promise their victims that they will make money with investments. Soon after making deposits, victims are asked for more payment which they eventually are unable to withdraw or communicate with the investment managers. It is extremely difficult for police to recover funds once they have been transferred to these fake investment companies, therefore, crypto recovery services like Web Bailiff Contractors come in handy. Essentially, Web Bailiff began as a low key operation targeting fake exchange platforms that scam innocent naive investors. They would track down their identity and return the deposits to the victims anonymously. Recently, they created a channel through which victims can approach them to present their individual cases. If you have encountered such investment platforms or know a victim, contact them through email web @ bailiffcontractor . net,Whatsapp: +1(360)8198556)
It is extremely upsetting to lose Bitcoin (BTC) to a fraudulent online investment platform, move your cryptocurrency to the wrong wallet, or forget your wallet’s password. After falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam, I was fortunate enough to read an article on Redeemed Hacker Pro. His reviews were really good and reliable. Redeemed Hacker Pro assists fraud victims in recovering their losses as a certified specialist in digital currencies. My wallet and all of my Bitcoins were magically retrieved by Redeemed Hacker Pro in less than 48 working hours.
