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!

    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.

    to go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Texas!
    Just wanted to mention keep up the excellent job!

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
