Hey guys! Back again with a little PUPPY LOVE! Rudie has been going to the dog park every morning since the weather has improved. He loves it, because he gets to play, I love it, because it tires him out. He can be a little monster sometimes - he just has so much energy!

It has been a rainy Sunday here in Toronto, but in the few moments of sunshine that streamed through our windows this afternoon, Rudie snuggled up in his favourite chair to soak up some rays.

I was working on my laptop and looked over to find Rudie looking like this (photo to the right). His face is all smooshed up and snuggled into his paws.. I actually squealed and giggled, because it was so cute. I just wanted to hug him.

Of course minutes after this photo was taken he tried to eat my macaroni + cheese, barked at the neighbours walking in the hall, and stole my sock. That's just my little angel / monster / schnookum pie.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! You are so important to the little (and big) kids that you brought into this world. Thanks for all that you do.

Thanks to my mom for being such a strong, beautiful, intelligent and all-around fantastic lady. You are a wonderful role model, and am so proud to call you my mom.

My mom inspires my work - all the time! I did a photography project called, Memories of My Mother's, where I dug through her archive of photographs and recreated them. I've also done a bunch of family illustrations using the photographs as reference.

I'm so glad my mom worked to keep an organized family archive. I think it's something really special, and am so lucky to have tangible reminders of the past. Just another one of those things that she does... So thanks mom - you're the best.
