Mom Framework
Most of the times I generate analogies by digging into my work and home practices. But sometimes it’s the analogies that find me, and it’s so much more fun!

Simple Mom
Motherhood. A very complex, multidimensional experience. Keeping things simple is every Mom’s uncovered superpower, and the only truly viable strategy!
Lessons Learned
A year into Motherhood isn’t very long, but the experience is so educating you can hardly find another to compare it with. Here’s to Lessons Learned!
Efficient Bites
You can never realize how crucial the ability to cook is, until you find yourself with a toddler and not know how to prepare his meal!
Becoming
Woke up exhausted the other day. All sweaty and terrified, having spent the night dreaming of a long hurdle race I was in. So random. Or was it?

Food for Thought
Every single moment I get to spend with my 10-month old son, generates a handful of yummy opportunities for learning and development. For the both of us; but mostly for…

There is no I in Parent
I showed this space to an esteemed professor of mine back from my MBA days looking for feedback. “Nice work!” he said “Don’t forget the Dads!”

Got Plans?
As soon as my OB-GYN and I had the test results in place to confirm my pregnancy, we started talking milestones.
Project Mamager
