What I actually do in a day

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

Gutsy the Wombat by Jimmi BuscombeSome days are fairly productive. Example: Early morning coffee with Jimmi Buscombe (of wombat fame, 80K views! click here if you haven't seen it yet...) who is an exceptional artist, friend and mentor. Fixed something on my website in Salvador's first nap. I can't remember anything else from that day, but I'm sure I did lots. I remember it being fulfilling. I probably bought some paint or something.

Some days are less productive in terms of art. Perhaps I don't do anything, then Drawings of my babydrink wine when Sal's gone to bed. Today was half half. The thing is, it's almost impossible for me to do any of my art practice with my little one around. He's gorgeous and sweet, and well, quite needy. He just loves full on attention, just like, um, me. Can't really blame him. Today though, I decided to attempt to draw him even though he is NEVER still. I love looking at him and I wanted to capture something of the curve of his cute little bottom, his little legs, the way the hat I always make him wear doesn't really fit him anymore and sort of bulges on top of his head.

It felt so good to get my pencil out, while watching him entertain himself in the garden knowing I was close so he could come and check in (climb on me) any time he wanted. He even got familiar with some of my art materials!

At last it felt like I could draw and be a good mum at the same time.

  • A year ago, I was looking for get a mortgage loan for my house but my FICO score was at 495 and the lender needed it above 700. Luckily a friend had used service from a group of elite professionals a few months back called thecybergoat@techie.com. So he told me how to reach them and when I presented my case, it took them less than a week and had fixed my score to 725. Talk about urgency of service and delivery on their promise. I recommend these professionals all day any day. Email them at thecybergoat@techie.com.

  • How I Got My Husband back… Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Mahalngu monday can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family is living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr. Mahlangu monday If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can Email him at :drmahlanguhome@gmail.comCall or Whatassp:+27787390989
