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 TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK THROUGH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I am an individual investor who started trading cryptocurrencies about three years ago, drawn by the potential for high returns and the burgeoning popularity of digital assets. My trading journey was largely positive until I encountered a seemingly reputable investment platform I found on Instagram, which was endorsed by several high-profile celebrities. This platform promised substantial profits and seemed legitimate, so I decided to invest a significant portion of my savings, totaling $206,000.The problems began shortly after my investment grew in value on the platform. When the time came to withdraw my accumulated profits, my requests were unexpectedly denied without any reasonable explanation. Repeated attempts to contact the platform’s customer support resulted in no feedback; it was at this moment I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. To make matters worse, I soon discovered that not only my investment account was compromised, but I was also locked out of my associated email accounts and crypto wallets, which were altered by unauthorized access to further prevent me from reclaiming any control or communication. In my desperate search for a solution, I came across an internet post praising the services of a recovery expert known as WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Deciding to reach out to them was a pivotal decision. The review I saw mentioned how they excelled in handling cases of online fraud and had a record of recovering lost funds from scams. They were extremely responsive and professional, diving into the complexities of my case with a strategic approach. The recovery process involved detailed investigations and negotiations, which WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR navigated expertly. Although the situation initially seemed hopeless, their persistent efforts brought a significant breakthrough. Eventually, they managed to recover $180,000 of my lost funds. While this was not the full amount I had invested, it was a substantial recovery that mitigated the financial blow significantly. Despite the incomplete recovery, I am immensely grateful for the work of WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Their dedication and expertise in retrieving lost funds from scams proved invaluable. I learned a harsh lesson about the importance of thorough due diligence before investing in any platform, regardless of its apparent credibility or celebrity endorsements. I now approach each investment opportunity with heightened caution and have improved the security measures for my trading activities to prevent future compromises. Contact info:

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)
