Welcome to My Blog!

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”
― Dalai Lama XIV

Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce myself and give you a little insight into how this blog was born. My name is Gwendy. I live in Plantation, Florida with my husband of almost 2 years and my 2 amazing rescue dogs Machete and Mazzy. We are expecting our first child together in June. I also have an amazing 16 year old son from a previous relationship. I am transitioning from full time work as a partner to my husband's small business to a full time stay at home wife and mother...and I couldn't be any more excited! I've decided that adding some transparency to my daily challenges and family life would be nice to share with others. Perhaps through my stories I can help someone else feel hopeful, inspired and amused. I also feel it will give me purpose; by sharing and retrospection I will be able to further grow on this wonderful journey of life. So, you'll find all kinds of posts here ranging from my prenatal journaling, DIY projects (I love creating new things), photography, poetry, spiritual topics, and all things mommy and family life! Basically, anything that's "home grown". So, kick off your shoes, grab your favorite mug and sip away as you catch a glimpse of a simple, Spanish, home grown spirit life.
