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.

  • Just after I had lost 1.3BTC to a scam investment platform, I started searching for a legitimate crypto recovery agent that could help me recover my funds from the hands of the scammers. During this process, I was scammed of about $8K by fake agents who claimed to be legitimate. I just gave up and lost all hope of ever recovering my lost bitcoin. However, thanks to a blog comment I read on Forbes that recommended a trusted recovery agency called RecoveryHacker101, I immediately contacted them and provided all the transaction records, and they told me they had started the investigation and recovery. It took about 2 weeks, and all my coins were sent back to my wallet. The best thing is that this recovery agency doesn’t ask for an upfront fee; they take payment from the funds recovered. I really appreciate their work and I recommend them to anyone in need of a crypto recovery agent. You can contact them via e-mail at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).
