On Being a Mother and an Artist

On Being a Mother and an Artist

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 would have lost all my assets if Thomas Henlich hadn’t stepped in. I opened a case with them when the Ledger Nano X I’ve been using for ages crashed. This happened when I decided to update the Ledger’s firmware and try to move a specific UXTO via coin control and I got an error on the frontend. While at it, the Ledger services were overloaded due to network issues and a retry was my only option later. Just when I got right back at it, I realize all my BTC were rooted to unknown addresses. The mistake I made was, I didn’t specify the UTXO chain prior to network overload and I got burnt severely. I was crestfallen by this mistake for days. While going back and forth, I came across several reviews and recommendations on Google and Yelp and I decided to contact Thomas Henlich and we hit it off immediately. During the diagnostic and reclaim phase, they traced my assets to several CEX wallets and all assets were retrieved after 2 business days eventually. I’m thankful to this prolific team not only for recovering my assets but also for the professionalism they displayed in my desperate times. ICC team were incredibly impressive, professionally tech savvy enough to avert my loss and they kept me updated throughout the process. For timely recovery of lost passwords and seed phrases, hacked wallets and lost funds with fake financial brokers, chatting with Thomas Henlich is the right solution. I highly recommend Thomas Henlich as a recovery company.

I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 98,700 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 425,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all costs, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online searching for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum where a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency funds with the help of Thomas Henlich Wizard. So I filed a report on his email support at e-mail ( thomashenlichwizard@gmail.com ) and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds within a few days. you can also contact them if you require their assistance through their emails, whatsapps,(thomashenlichwizard@gmail.com or /Text,call or Whatsapp: +61 44 9914 702 )

I never imagined I would ever write a testimony like this, but after experiencing the devastating loss of my hard‑earned cryptocurrency, I felt compelled to share my story so others don’t lose hope. A few months ago, I was scammed by what I thought was a legitimate online crypto broker. I had invested a substantial amount of funds and, when I attempted to withdraw, I was repeatedly blocked, ignored, and ultimately defrauded. The emotional and financial blow was immense — I felt betrayed and lost confidence in digital finance. That’s when I was introduced to Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech. From the very first contact, their team stood out for their professionalism, deep technical knowledge, and reassuring communication. What struck me most was how swiftly they assessed my situation and began working on my case. Within 24 hours, they had traced the fraudulent transactions and successfully recovered the lost funds and returned them to my account, something I had all but given up on. Throughout the process, they kept me informed at every step, explaining complex blockchain details in a way I could understand, and helping me feel secure after such a traumatic experience. Their commitment not only restored my financial security but also helped rebuild my trust in the crypto ecosystem. Because of them, I regained both my assets and my peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Wizard Hilton Cyber Tech to anyone who has suffered a crypto scam or loss. Their expertise and results truly made a huge difference in my life; Email : wizardhiltoncybertech ( @ ) gmail (. ) com
