Best Bags For Travel

Ruthie Ridley Blog Best Bags For Travel

I have officially entered one of my favorite seasons of motherhood. Everyday I look at this bunch and I’m so grateful to God for the gift of being their mom. I see a little bit of me and  I see a little bit of Ben. Truly so fun to watch!!! We want to be together as much as possible. Listening to their thoughts, their hearts and desires has been so fulfilling!

We’ve also hit travel season for the Ridley’s! We like to take day trips as often as possible.

    Hey there! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.

    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be
    able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.

    Appreciate it!

    Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
    code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance
    from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you’ve done a amazing job with this.
    Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

    A number of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

    Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I had
    to ask. Does running a well-established website like yours
    require a large amount of work? I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my
    personal experience and feelings online. Please let
    me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.

    Appreciate it!

    I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours nowadays,
    but I by no means found any fascinating article like
    yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as
    you probably did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

    Hola! I’ve been following your website for a while now and finally got the courage
    to go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Texas!
    Just wanted to mention keep up the excellent job!

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 🤩
