Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you all had a really wonderful weekend! I love coffee dates and so I thought I would have one periodically here on the blog! I love talking! Anyone that knows me knows I talk a lot! I also love listening so I would love to hear what’s going on with you guys as well! Always feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below!

So if we were on a coffee date in real life this is what I would share with you…

⁃ I’m headed into my fourth week at my new job and I feel like I’m finally getting into a little bit of a groove! It’s been quite a bit of an adjustment organizing the kids schedules with Ben and myself but we are making it work! The kids only have four weeks left of school! This alone will simplify our schedules significantly. Although, Ava starts soccer again today which is chaos in and of itself lol.

⁃ We hired a trainer for our 16 month old lab Charlie. Between the 2 visits from the trainer and Ben’s consistency with him I feel like we have a new dog!! He actually listens to us! He sits when we say sit, comes to us when we call, just all the normal dog things that we’re not happening before. Neither of us had a puppy before and had no idea what we were doing!! We actually talk often about our second lab! I know, we are crazy!!!

⁃ I’m in the process of revamping my Pinterest and have been pinning like crazy! If you’re not already following me on Pinterest be sure to follow me and all my pinning here 🙂

⁃ We booked our family vacation to San Diego and we have a TON of surprises planned for the kids down there! We cannot wait!!!!

⁃ Lastly, my parents are officially planning on moving out here. I’m dying for them to get here! My brother and I along with Ben and the kids have been here without them for nearly 4 years! It feels like a decade!! They live in CT where I grew up! Ben and I are praying for September!! I’ll keep you posted on that!!

Now on to This dress. Yes. It’s a favorite. I have it in grey and I wore it all summer last year!! Shop Pink Blush is the brand! Many know them for their maternity pieces but they have a huge selection of non-maternity clothing as well!  If I had it in every color I would not be mad!! You can get yours here. My bag is from Clare V. I love this local LA brand!!! Lastly, shoes are new fave!! I’ve linked them shoes and they are less than 30.00!!! This concludes our coffee date! As I said earlier I like to do these periodically! You can see a few previous coffee dates here and here 🙂  Have an amazing week and thank you as always for stopping by the blog!  Much love,

*Stay Tuned:  A new post featuring this brand, coming soon!!*

    Training a pup makes SUCH a difference! Ours is really good – we are on the fence about getting a trainer since the things are SO minor and we are working with him on them. so jealous that you’re going to San Diego! Have fun!

    Me and my fiance are talking about getting a dog after we are married. I think it’s safe to say we will definitely go the trainer route. My dog while it took a great while for her to listen, she can at times have her own way. She’s too old to change now and she’s generally good and trained but it took a long time!!

    I believe what you published made a lot of sense.
    But, think on this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a headline that makes people want more?
    I mean Blue Maxi Dress + Coffee Date Vol.
    2 | Ruthie Ridley is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s
    home page and note how they create post headlines to grab viewers interested.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve written. In my
    opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.

    Can I simply just say what a relief to discover somebody who really knows what they are
    talking about on the web. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    A lot more people should look at this and understand
    this side of the story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular given that
    you surely possess the gift.

    Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

    Howdy 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 advice from someone with experience. Any help
    would be greatly appreciated!

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 ⭐️

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 ⭐️
