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.

Hello world, This world is a good place to be when you can easily get what you want but it comes with sacrifices and understanding this makes it even a better world for you, I was going through a rough patch where i was about to loose all i had, i realized it almost late (but it’s better late than never right?), but when premiumhackservices@gmail.com a group of PI stepped in and they helped in getting the necessary information i needed to retain all that was almost lost and even more, Their Whatsapp +14106350697 was a platform we were also in contact during the whole process. The sacrifice i took to get my testimony.

The Wizard James genuinely saved my bacon by helping me retrieve my $237,000 from an online scammer who directed me to Publicip Vip, a cryptocurrency trading platform. The man had given me coaching over Telegram, walking me through the process of creating an account and transferring funds. Within six months, I transferred $237,000 in total to this website with the hopes of making a sizable profit. Even though I complied with all of their requests, I was regrettably unable to withdraw any money. A wonderful internet review led me to Wizard James Recovery, and I chose to collaborate with them. Since everything was resolved and my money was returned in less than seven days, I must say that I am really fortunate. They can be reached by email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com.
