Father’s Day + Crocs

June 12, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 35 Comments

I love that we celebrate Father’s Day every year, but it is Father’s Day everyday around here for us.  We are all pretty in love with this man!!   Ben is the best of the best and these kids are beyond blessed to call him dad.  He loves all of us so well and has always done such a good job of letting us know that we come first.  Doing life with him is one of our greatest joys.  I see that a lot of who the kids are is because of the amazing father that he is.

This year we have teamed up with Crocs to share our Father’s Day family fun! One of our all time favorite thing to do as a family, is go to the beach.  In fact, we have been several times already this year and have a mini beach vacation planned for Ben’s 30th birthday in July.  There’s something about being near the water and taking in that cool fresh air that is so good for the soul.  Ben is always in the water with the kids! They are all fish.  Every time we go to the beach hours go by that have been spent in the water! You can find me in a chair taking pictures and catching a nap here and there! 

On this particular trip, we visited Baker beach right by the Golden Gate bridge. The fog was fierce and it was cloudy day, but that did not stop our fun. The view of the bridge and the sound of the waves just made our day. We were all sporting our Crocs. Crocs has totally revamped their style! I remember quite a few years ago, I couldn’t picture myself wearing their footwear. That is not the case today. The comfort level is second to none and they totally match our modern fashion sense! These shoes are literally perfect for any beach day and suit the entire family! What are your Father’s Day fun plans this year?! Please do share below!

    Your family is too cute! I love the fashionable crocs. I don’t see why some people don’t like them. Also all your photos are on point.
    Have a wonderful week, and tell your husband Happy Fathers Day from a complete stranger named Kierra.

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 🤩
