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.

  • After falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam, I was devastated and unsure if I would ever recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across assetresolute, and they truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, their team was extremely responsive and took the time to understand the full scope of my situation. They explained their recovery process clearly, giving me confidence that I was in capable hands.

    One thing that stood out to me was their professionalism and transparency. Unlike other services that make vague promises, assetresolute was upfront about the challenges but assured me they had the tools and expertise to recover my funds. Within two weeks, I received the good news that they had successfully recovered a substantial portion of my lost crypto.

    The level of communication throughout the process was excellent. I received regular updates, and they were always available to answer my questions. They even offered helpful tips on how to avoid future scams and safeguard my digital assets.

    I can’t thank assetresolute enough for their help and dedication. If you’re in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact them at assetresolute@gmail.com. Their service is reliable, and they truly know what they’re doing when it comes to crypto recovery!
