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,

    I’m not a fan of dresses, but this dress looks amazingly comfortable! I might just have to try these maxi dresses! Thanks for the inspiration. Love the color too!

    You’re going to have a lot of fun in San Diego. I use to live there for 4 years. Loved the weather and the distinct neighborhoods. I presume you’ll be around downtown San Diego.

    You look so pretty in this dress and it looks so comfy! Glad you’re getting acclimated to your new job! 🙂

    You are the queen of fantastic dresses!! I am so obsessed with your dress collection and this one is no exception! This dress looks amazing on you! I love the cold shoulder and the color! So gorgeous!

    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!!

    You look amazing! I love how comfy Pink Blush dresses are. I swear I could live in mine! Good luck to your parents on their move! We moved away from family 2 years ago and we really miss having everyone so close.

    You’re so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve read something like this before.
    So wonderful to find somebody with a few genuine thoughts on this issue.

    Really.. thank you for starting this up. This site is something
    that is required on the internet, someone with a bit of originality!

  43. Catharine says

    Helpful information. Fortunate me I found your website by accident, and I am shocked why this accident did not happened earlier!
    I bookmarked it.

  45. Ilene says

    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.

    ダッチワイフが生命のないロボット彫刻であった時代はもう過ぎ去り、それを使うのも面白くありませんでした。 しかし、時間と技術によって状況は変化し、今では男性に本物の女の子の感覚を与える超リアルなダッチワイフを手に入れることができます。 axb dolls https://yourdoll.jp/product-tag/axb-dolls/

    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.

  54. essay on sale says

    I’m really loving the theme/design of your website.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
    A couple of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

  56. customer writing says

    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!
