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.

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 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

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 🙋🏾‍♀️

There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.
