It was only a matter of time before this #drowningindomesticity project made its way to my more conventional art practice. #finallyputtingthesefuckingstickerstogooduse

Pile o puppies off the living room floor. Everything I post here is shot during my attempts at keeping up with the kids. Keeping up with the house. Keeping up with the mess.

I just cleaned off a 19" X 85" counter. These are all the Kleenex I found in the small space. And can I tell you how no one can ever find a tissue? Life with runny noses.

Breaking down boxes and unpacking Christmas toys and I'm so grateful Santa brought these because some dolls might sustain serious injuries as I chuck them across the room in an attempt to make room for more toys. #art #contemporaryart #parenting #consumerism #toomuchstuff #motherhood #americangirl

It's suddenly so cold. I pulled out my serious warm winter coat and it weighed a ton. I emptied the pockets and found this. A random pizza menu. Small sketches from my son who doesn't like to draw on anything larger than a couple of inches. Eye drops. A bunch of picture hangers. A seashell. Underpants I bought myself on the way to the emergency room in the event they made me strip down to my underwear. Crazy I know. Movie tickets and receipts. Tissues. 2 hair clips. A long receipt. $5.03 in change. Planning on traveling a bit lighter through 2016. #happynewyear #art #contemporaryart #motherhood #thingsinmypocket

Mrs Piazza my home ec teacher would fail me. My mammam would make me get the seam ripper and start again. My grandma would see it for me with no patterns and make it looks ten times better in a quarter of the time. And yet here I am sewing. #art #contemporaryart #sewing #craft #family

The great toy clean out in preparation for Santa's arrival. He only leaves toys if there is "room". The artillery gathered in just one bin from my 5 year olds room. Oscillating between boys will be boys and how exactly does this influence him. #art #contemporaryart #parenting #motherhood #weapons #guns #toys

Swept from a 2' square area at my feet. I haven't posted for nearly a week because the reality is when you're really drowning, lost in the depths, you're not photographing or sharing or even reflecting. You are flailing, until you're not. Life is beautiful. AND sometimes challenging. Parenting is hard. Holidays can be overwhelming. Shit piles up. Sometimes so high it's hard to see the sky and remember the beauty. Develop a practice that slows the flailing and reminds you of the beauty. #art #contemporaryart #parenting #motherhood

Weekend project. We made a felt doll. As much as this domestic life and all of its daily doldrum and repetitive commitments can overwhelm me I love my family fiercely. And it can still suck just the same. #motherhood #parenting #art #contemporaryart

Time to go put on my favorite apron and rustle up some breakfast. Pumpkin waffles are the request. #parenting #motherhood #domesticgoddesswannabe #art #contemporaryart #apron #breakfast

Calgon. Take me away, even if it is in a freakishly short, plastic tub and I'm surrounded by toys. #motherhood #parenting #domesticgoddessdropout #art #contemporaryart

Dyed pasta for a school project because that's evidently what you do when you're drowning in domesticity, dye pasta. #motherhood #parenting #domesticgoddess #art #contemporaryart
