Market stall + Baby - My voice = Fun, as it turns out!
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
So today I literally juggled my baby and my business.
For some inexplicable reason, Salvador chose to LIE IN today for once and not wake up at 5.30am (I would insert the tears-streaming-down-face emoji here if I knew how to). So I lay in bed after my alarm went off trying to figure out which plan of action would create the least noise to not wake him because when he wakes up he wants a breastfeed and that takes 20 MINUTES (he's always been a relaxed drinker) and then I'd have to manage him and packing the car/showering/would I have time to shower anyway? Why wouldn't I just hand him over to my husband? Am I overthinking all this? OF COURSE I was overthinking everything and it all resulted in me unshowered and a bit late, but Salvador ultimately fed. I mean, really.
Anyway, my wonder husband took over the childcare, arranging to arrive at the market in time for the customers as I HAVE LOST MY VOICE (yes, I know, can you imagine a version of me not speaking all the time??!) I arrived at Fresh Market and found I was next to Lisa of Lady Bay Botanicals and Annie of HegARTie whale fame. When I turned my back in search of a tap to fill my water weights (that weigh down the market tent), they started putting up my marquee! Such lovely people.
Stall ready, husband and baby turn up and of course Salvador wants to be held by me the whole time so I'm basically screaming (which is coming out a loud whisper) over the babble of my baby who won't be held by anyone else and I can't put on the ground because it's too wet.
Do you know, I loved it! I loved chatting to people even with my pubescent boy voice and I love showing off my beautiful baby. I love playing with him! Have to admit though, all the chucking him around did make him vomit a little bit. Whoops.
Bronson was there the whole time ready to whisk him off when he needed a nap.
Around 11.30am, murmurs started rippling amongst the stall-holders of incoming torrential weather. We saw it coming, felt the first drops, packed up faster than ever before and headed over to the Main Beach Kiosk for a delicious lunch while baby Sal continued sleeping.
It was a very successful market for me and a great day as I framed up for the next one (this coming Sunday 17th March), did some writing (I have a freelance writing job) and wrote this blog post. Tomorrow morning, back to the easel...Bronson has a couple of days off work and Sal will enjoy some daddy daycare.
I guess the point of this blog is to remind you that I have beautiful prints to sell! Please check back to the shop part of the website and have a look around. As always, any feedback on my blog or website is much appreciated! Ta for now.
P.S. Here's one of my beautiful customers with her husband's birthday present. Thanks Georgie!
I was heartbroken and furious when I lost every dime I had spent in this scam involving cryptocurrencies.
I didn’t think I would ever get my money back until my friend told me about OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS, a bitcoin recovery company. Because OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS has previously helped victims of bitcoin scams recover their money, I was quite persuaded and called them straight immediately. I was shocked to see that my cryptocurrency assets had been recovered by OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS. I really thank them for their help and recommend them for the recovery of all of your cryptocurrency assets. Their contact information is as follows:

One of the best decisions I ever made was to contract JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE INC, to help me resolve my challenges with a foreign investment company. Long story short, the team successfully traced and recovered my initial capital investment but unfortunately, the profits I believed to be mine were just a numbers game thus the reason why a payout wasn’t happening. All in all, I am very grateful to this team, their profound support saved me from destruction. Involving a superior enforcement is what changed everything, the team revealed the scammers whole game plan upon consultation and I was never going to get paid no matter how much i invested. They made my problems theirs and handled my case diligently. I honestly can’t believe the honesty and integrity I experienced in dealing with this company and its team of excellent hackers. There was no sales pitch, just straight up advice on what they do and kept constant contact with me as they continue to fight to recover my funds. Staff wise; every single staff I spoke with were very professional, friendly, respectful, honest in explaining stuff to you. They restored my financial dignity and status. I with a heartbeat will recommend to anyone who has issues in their respective financial ventures and now experiencing some unforeseen difficulties in regaining possession of their funds to contract this great recovery company “ JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE “ on Email : JETHACKS 7 AT GMAIL DOT COM or on Telegram via their official account user @ JETHACKSS, You will not regret it. It will be the best decision you will make in life. Restore your financial dignity and status one more time. Give yourself a second chance regardless of how bad or difficult you think your case might be, JETHACKS Team got your back, trust me.
