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 I RECOVERED MY LOST BTC
With the internet playing an increasingly deeper and deeper role in our lives, so do hackers. Most folks only see the dark side of what they do, but few do know you can also hire a hacker for yourself, and take advantage of their skills for your own life. For a fact, bitcoin is true and is the future of world currencies. I have been using it until I lost 7 BTC in the hands of unregulated brokers. While pacing back and forth, I searched for some fiat currency recovery companies online and read customers recommendations and reviews. After doing some diligent researches, I found the services of IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY EXPERTS worthwhile. With their sophisticated and robust technological firewalls, my case was investigated and IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY EXPERTS was able to recover my stolen cryptos in less than 72 hours. I would like to pass on a huge appreciation to the most proficient team at IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY for their persistence and support through this frustrating time. Their efficiency and commitment to customers is truly unmatched. I appreciate them for their help. And I wish to recommend them to everyone out there caught up in systemic scams. Please contact IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY EXPERTS for timely recovery.
