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 CAN I GET MY BITCOIN BACK AND SECURE MY WALLET? / OPIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS, A CEYBER RECOVERY MASTER
Putting money into cryptocurrencies is a wise move. When I first started investing in cryptocurrencies, I made an investment in a fictitious trading organization that stole $7 BTC and over 170,600 Dogecoin from me. It was a terrible moment for me; I really needed a recovery specialist to help me get my money back, and OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS saved the day. From the beginning to the conclusion, he was helpful in getting my money back from the fraudulent firm and getting me on a reliable trading platform where I made a lot of money. Please make use of the services, I beg you.
