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.

Good day everyone, I’m Oliver Martins from Netherlands, my husband and I own a joint business, about two months ago we invested some part of our money into a cryptocurrency investment platform and made a total of $178,000 payment through bitcoins to this cryptocurrency platform not aware that it was all a scam, they kept asking us to make more payments into their platform and that was when we realized we have lost our investment. It was such a difficult time for us but while I was surfing the internet, I saw someone share a post about Jamesmckaywizard Recovery, a reputable company that recovers stolen and lost funds and any kind of hacking jobs. I didn’t hesitate to contact them and after providing all the information they needed to work with Mr. JAMES was able to recover our money in less than 48 hours.

We are recommending them to everyone out there who have been defrauded too by these fake cryptocurrency investment platform.

FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER – THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE
After landing my first job I was proud to receive my performance bonus and excited to take my first step into investing. I wanted to use that money wisely. When a friend shared a link to a trading app that looked polished and professional I didn’t hesitate. The platform had a sleek interface glowing reviews and even what appeared to be celebrity endorsements. It felt safe and credible. I downloaded the app signed up and bought 2 BTC through their system. At first everything ran smoothly. The dashboard showed promising returns, the support team responded quickly and everything seemed legitimate. I felt confident that I had made a smart decision. But when I tried to withdraw my funds things quickly changed. I was told I needed to deposit more money to verify my identity and unlock the withdrawal process. The requests kept escalating. Then just like that the app disappeared. The website was offline emails bounced back and the support chat was gone. My heart sank. I realized I had been scammed and my savings were gone. I was devastated and embarrassed. I didn’t know who to trust or where to go. That’s when my boyfriend found FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER online and encouraged me to contact them. FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER listened to my story without judgment and assured me that I wasn’t alone. They quickly identified the scam, traced the app’s backend to a server associated with other fraud operations, and filed urgent takedown notices. Within days they managed to recover my full 2 BTC. I could hardly believe it. I had prepared myself to accept the loss, but they gave me back not just my money they gave me hope and peace of mind. In Crypto space there are people out there who genuinely want to help. If you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, don’t give up. FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER helped me reclaim what I thought was lost forever. Thanks to them I’ve been given a second chance to rebuild my future this time much wiser. Thank you FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER.
