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 TRUSTED MY HUSBAND WITH MY LIFE BUT SADLY HE CHEATED ON ME 💔💔
I could’ve sworn my husband wasn’t cheating. But out of curiosity, i decided to see what go in his phone. I contacted MACIOFONESPYRIX @ gmail com, to help me out, which he did and also got me few years past deleted messages. Well to be honest I am sad. But I will have to confront him with my proof and hopefully we can work it out together. Also i recommend MACIOFONESPYRIX @ gmail com.
Almost every day, there are different news of scams all over the world. Here’s just a piece of advice I can give, we should be careful of all these so-called cryptocurrency & investment companies and beware of Forex trading. I was once a victim who almost lost everything I worked for in my life. Luckily, 1 was rescued by MACIOFONESPYRIX@ GMAIL COM , an organization that helps track and recover stolen BTC or any type of cryptocurrency. Please be careful out there and contact them immediately to get back your lost funds. For more info contact them through their website
My initial purchase of a program from Mspy didn’t function as expected on the intended phone. However, when I reached out to Mspy’s support team, they quickly came to my aid. Their representative was not only amiable but also highly skilled. To my delight, I received a refund within the same week and experienced no issues when opting for a different product. Mspy’s support service was truly commendable.
I’ve had this monitoring service for 3weeks now, and it definitely serves its purpose as one of my tools for effective employee monitoring in my business. It allowed me to keep track of the messages and files that were sent and received on our company’s devices. It actually increased productivity because the installation of a monitoring software from MACIOFONESPYRIX@ GMAIL. COM encouraged our employees to focus on work during work hours… If you need to track and target messages, calls, location, history and all social media they are perfect for your job
The best hacker I can confidently recommend here is MACIOFONESPYRIX@GMAIL COM just yesterday I was here to get help on gaining access remotely into my spouse’s phone, then I read a rev directing me to work with them and with just my targets phone number they were able to get me into the phone remotely. Now I have full access into the phone as well as access to all social media accounts. I advise you reach out to them in any hacking related problem.
