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.

Recovering from a Cryptocurrency Scam: My Personal Experience
As a single mother seeking to improve my family’s financial situation, I was approached by a company called BTCM Company on Facebook, promoting a Bitcoin investment opportunity with promises of high returns. The offer appeared legitimate, and after being persuaded by their representatives, I invested $330,000, believing it would secure a better future for my children.
However, after two months, I discovered that I couldn’t withdraw any of my funds. It was then that I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated and well-organized scam. Desperate to recover my money, I reached out to several so-called “experts” and “hackers,” but they turned out to be scammers as well.
Just when I had lost all hope, I came across Icon Assets Recovery through a local community recommendation. Their team was professional, trustworthy, and worked tirelessly to recover my funds within just a week.
I am incredibly grateful for their prompt and effective assistance. If you’ve fallen victim to online scams, I highly recommend Icon Assets Recovery. Their expertise and integrity set them apart in an industry overwhelmed by fraud.

In today’s digital age, navigating the crypto space isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about survival. With rising threats lurking in every corner of the blockchain, one mistake can turn your entire portfolio into dust. I never imagined I’d be caught in such a storm—until it happened.
Not long ago, I attempted to transfer approximately $167,000 from my on-chain wallet to my blockchain account. But what was supposed to be a routine transaction quickly became a nightmare. In a split second, everything vanished. My entire balance—gone. No trace. No warning.
I froze. My heart raced. For a moment, time stopped. I had never experienced anything so terrifying. But instead of spiraling into despair, I chose to fight. I began digging—researching every possible cause, every potential solution. That’s when I came across a name that would change everything: CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY.
From the moment I contacted them, I knew I was in the right hands. Their response was swift, sharp, and deeply professional. What impressed me most was how they combined advanced forensic tools, ethical hacking strategies, and real-time blockchain tracking to trace my stolen funds. What felt impossible to me was just another mission to them.
They didn’t just recover my assets—they restored my peace of mind.
If you’re facing a similar ordeal, don’t wait. Reach out to them. In a space where trust is rare and hope fades fast, CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY is a name that truly delivers.
