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.

I got lured to coinwpro trading platform where my funds got stuck about £205k with the intent to earn 25percent interest on my investment on each trade I thought it was a good trading platform not knowing they were sneaky and manipulating to take away all my funds. After weeks of being sad I found the best fund recovery pundit at RECOVERYBUREAUC @ GMAIL, C0M whom I hired and spoke to their support team about my situation. They requested for some certain information and they swing into actions immediately. To my surprise within 12 hours they were able to trace and track my stolen funds then subsequently they recover each and every penny of my money back to me without hassle or hidden charges.
