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!
In my career as a virtual reality developer based in Illinois, I’ve always been diligent and careful with my investments. However, I recently fell victim to a sophisticated forex scam run by a company called Bitmax FX, which resulted in a loss of $128,000. Faced with relentless withdrawal fees and mounting frustration, I turned to Cyber Tech CryptoCyberNet@gmail .com. Their expertise proved invaluable, and they successfully recovered my funds in a remarkably efficient manner. The ordeal began when Bitmax FX lured me into their seemingly legitimate forex trading platform. The initial experience was enticing; their professional appearance and promising returns gave me confidence. The scammers behind Bitmax FX used convincing tactics, encouraging me to invest more money under the guise of securing high returns and safe investments. As time went on, I started encountering significant problems with withdrawals. Each attempt to access my funds was met with escalating fees and a series of excuses that delayed or blocked my transactions. It soon became clear that Bitmax FX was a fraud, designed to exploit and deceive rather than provide genuine trading opportunities. Realizing that I had been scammed was both disheartening and overwhelming. In my search for a solution, I discovered cryptocyberNet . Their reputation for assisting scam victims was highly recommended, so I decided to enlist their help. The process with CryptocyberNet was smooth and professional from the start. They promptly gathered all relevant information and documented Bitmax FX’s fraudulent practices. Their team demonstrated a deep understanding of financial scams and worked diligently to trace my funds and communicate with the necessary financial institutions. One of the most reassuring aspects of working with cryptocyberNet was their transparency and regular communication. They kept me informed throughout the recovery process and provided clear explanations of each step. This approach greatly reduced the stress and uncertainty I was experiencing. Thanks to CryptocyberNet dedicated efforts, my $128,000 was successfully recovered in a relatively short period. The relief I felt was immense, and I was deeply appreciative of their effective support. Their work restored my financial situation and alleviated the emotional strain caused by the scam. If you find yourself in a similar predicament with a fraudulent scheme like Bitmax FX, I highly recommend contacting CryptocyberNet . Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment make them an excellent resource for recovering funds lost to financial fraud. My experience with them was overwhelmingly positive, and I am confident that they can provide substantial help to others facing similar challenges.CryptocyberNet@gmail .com
