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!

Any kind of scam especially when its on a crypto platform, most transactions like these are always final especially when the companies pull an exit but trust me, recovery is definitely possible if you have the right information to consult the right specialists. After losing a personal investment of over $76,000 to a popular forex company that pulled an exit scam, I sought for answers for the sake of my own sanity and fortunately got a hold on financial reimbursement recovery company based in US who are a group of asset recovery specialists with tested and trusted procedures to recover lost funds within a very short period of time 100%, and with their help, I was able to recover all my investments.

I was heartbroken when my husband left me and moved to New Zealand to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart. My life was filled with sorrows and pains because my husband was the only man I have ever been with. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until I met a friend that directed me to Dr Osemu who helped me to bring back my husband after his reconciliation ritual. We are both living happily now and things have greatly improved in our marriage. This man is powerful and he can help you. Here is his contact.

I locked myself out of my Bitcoin wallet containing $1 million after mistyping a new password during a rushed attempt to make it more secure. Hours of failed attempts left me panicked as I realized my financial future was hanging by a thread. Desperate, I contacted Digital Resolution Services. Nervous and embarrassed, I explained my mistake, but their team was calm, professional, and understanding. They reassured me, explained their process, and immediately got to work.
The next few days felt like an eternity, but then came the call I had been praying for—they had successfully unlocked my wallet, and my $1 million was safe. Relief and gratitude overwhelmed me.
This experience taught me the importance of managing passwords carefully. I now double-check every password, store them securely, and use tools to avoid such mistakes in the future. Digital Resolution Services was professional, skilled, and effective, and I’m deeply grateful for their help.
