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.

The best feeling someone can have is to get back what was stolen from you through dubious means. I highly recommend the service of Intel Fox Recovery to everyone especially if have lost your bitcoin as a result of investing in binary options, trading platforms, hacked wallet accounts, other bitcoin related scams or any form of online scam out there, then know you are not alone. I lost over $150,000 in my bitcoin wallet to these fakes. I came across good reviews about professional hackers; Intel Fox Recovery and I decided to try them since I had promised myself not to work with any hackers after many rips off from them. I’m truly grateful to Intel Fox Recovery for helping me recover my money. I recommend you to contact him on intelfoxrecovery@mail.com to help you recover your money.
I just want to share my experience and testimony here. I was married for 9years to my wife and all of a sudden, another man came into the picture. she started hailing me and she was abusive but I still loved her with all my heart and wanted him at all cost…then he filed for divorce..my whole life was turning apart and I didn’t know what to do. She moved out of the house and abandoned the kids. So someone told me about trying spiritual means to get my wife back and introduced me to a spell caster…so I decided to try it reluctantly although I didn’t believe in all those things… then when he did the special prayers and spell, after ,48 hours, my wife came back and was pleading. she had realized her mistakes i just couldn’t believe it, anyway we are back together now and we are happy..in case anyone needs this man, the person can also call or WhatsApp him number:(+2348156942172.)

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.
My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:
