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!
MY CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERIENCE 2024
WARNING: Scammers BEWARE!

I’m a born skeptic, and did not trust that anyone could actually trace and recuperate funds lost to scammers and their Ponzi schemes. I begged and pleaded with Capitalix group to honor the terms of our initial agreement and release my funds to me, But they refused. They like to say that you have settle a fee every time I attempt to withdraw my funds, but I think they do that because they don’t want to payout the funds but they use different lies to keep extorting more funds from me exploiting on my desperation and possibly wear me out in the long run. Once I got JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE involved, things happened fast. It was night and day from what the Capitalix group put me through when I tried to deal with them myself. Get the pros involved, it’s worth the risk. These guys are the best. Our lacking in this area of specialty makes it impossible for you to then fight fraudulent investment cases like this because even if you’re right, but you refuse to pay something, they hang your assets and ruin your financial future. And no one cares “why” it’s ruined, they just want to hear your story and then look to lay blame’s on you for trying to improve your life. So, what do you do? You keep paying the scammers even if you disagree with the charges so that they could release your funds but that’s the irony there because you will never get paid only getting yourself more destroyed. I had been dealing with this issue for almost a year until I eventually admitted the truth to myself that i had been scammed, and then report my case to the JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE So they can intervene and help me repossess my assets before it was too late. The recovery process was launched and swiftly concluded within 72 hours, my funds went from pending to available inside my Coinbase wallet. Total turnaround. What took me a year of work and still had no resolution JETHACKS fixed in 72 hours. I’ve been kicking myself for not contacting someone for help earlier, but I just didn’t believe it could be done. But they did , reach out to them today on any of their available support channels to get help,
