Hello, I warmly welcome you to my online space!

I'm Ana, a deep-thinking Introverted Mom, to a sweet brilliant girl, and a Creative Architect on a mission!

Here are 10 fun facts about me:

1. Multicultural and Multilingual: I'm a latin mom living in Canada. I speak Spanish, work in French, and play and learn in English.

2. Interior Design: I love exploring architecture magazines and Pinterest, soaking in photos of spaces that promote calm and well-being. It's my go-to hobby for inspiration and relaxation!

3. Free Play: I strongly advocate for free play in safe spaces. It's incredibly beneficial for all children, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, as it plays a crucial role in their cognitive and emotional development.

4. Brain Curiosity: I’m fascinated by how kids' brains work! Check out this awesome TED talk, about how playtime and bonding in the early years shape a child’s development, transforming their future in profound ways.

5. HSP (Highly Sensitive Person): I found out I’m an HSP after becoming a mom, and suddenly, so much fell into place! Curious to know more?

6. Homeschooler: Homeschooling has been such an exciting adventure and a game-changer for our family. Learn more here!

7. Passionate Singing: Even though I don't have the best voice (my family can attest), I love singing the most challenging songs. Yes, those like "I Will Always Love You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "Someone Like You"! I always sing with all my heart, even if it turns into a family musical comedy at home.

8. Inspirational Travels: I’ve explored over 15 countries, and each adventure has been a treasure trove of inspiration, revealing new cultures and fresh perspectives!

9. Passion for Functional Design: As an architect with over 20 years of experience, I witness how a space can profoundly influence our emotional well-being.

10. Commitment to Neurodiverse Children: My mission is to help neurodiverse families turn their homes into vibrant havens of creativity and peace.

When we create these nurturing environments, connections between parents and kids deepen, making learning a breeze and life a little sweeter 🙂

* You might be wondering why I chose the name Dulce de Leche Mom for my webpage. Well, it's a combination of two things close to my heart:

• Firstly, it's a heartwarming tribute to my childhood, where my mom's homemade Dulce de Leche filled our home with love and sweetness. These memories bring me immense joy and gratitude!

• Secondly, it reflects my bilingual life, a heritage I cherish and celebrate!
