Floral Dreams 

March 31, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 36 Comments

Spring is here and I can’t step away from florals! Florals are bright and cheery and always put me in a good mood.  It is true when they say that what you wear can influence how you feel! This dress is sadly sold out, but Shop Pink Blush has an endless variety of similar options.  Shop Pink Blush  is a family owned business that originally started as a maternity line.  They have since expanded.  Be sure to check them out!

Speaking of Spring, I am having a hard time keeping up with the rate in which time seems to be passing by these days! We returned from England last week, had some time to just be with my babies and then hit the ground running with work on Wednesday of this week! Kind of a whirlwind but all good! Do you all have any fun plans coming up this weekend?! I work Saturday, but have a pretty packed family Sunday.  We are preparing for the newly weds, who are missionaries to Turkey, to make their stop to us next week as a part of their honeymoon!  We are looking forward to some fun day trips! Happy Friday friends and have an amazing weekend!! Much love,

Ruthie xo

    That dress is so pretty – I’m not a really floral person, but maybe for a dress that pretty I can give it a try 😉 Your weekend sounds like fun – I love entertaining! My weekend got thrown up in the air with our crazy weather in New England, so it’s been a very relaxing and quiet weekend!

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
