{Guilt-Free Getaway}

May 11, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 107 Comments

I find it very difficult to pull away from my family. With working part time and being involved in so many different things, I have a hard time taking time solely for myself. At the same time, I love “me time”,  but two hours away is usually sufficient! Ben works extremly hard during the week so anytime he’s home I like to be there for him and tag-team with the kids. We’ve got a pretty good system worked out and we both end up winning!

Having said that, my girlfriend Lindsay, had an idea for Mother’s Day that sounded so lush!! I chatted with Ben about having “a day off” and he was all about it. Of course I got into planning mode and began asking him what his plans were for the kids, and he kept saying “don’t worry about it!” So the day before Mother’s Day Lindsay and I took a day to ourselves. A day of self-care and relaxation! Here’s what we did…

I started the day with brunch at my house with a bunch of the ladies from my church! They all must’ve known my love language was flowers because they brought me more than I knew what to do with! My heart was so full.

After brunch our first stop was massages!! Lindsay had previously gone to this place with a few friends of hers and said it was to die for!! Sure enough it was!!! Best part… 60.00 for two hours!! What in the world?!?!? Amazing!!!

IMG_7251
After our massage we headed up to peets for our favorite coffees. Mine is an almond milk latte, but I had them add one pump of mocha because I was in a “treat yo self” kind of mood! Lindsay gets a black Americano. Hot. How, I don’t know!! Loll

IMG_7255
Next stop- Amador county!! I cannot believe we live so close to wine country. Ben and I normally go up to Napa which is gorgeous and amazing, but it’s about 2.5 hours away. Amador is about 40 min away and lends the most gorgeous drive ever.

Our first winery was “Sobon Estate”. One of the only winery’s to not shut down during the prohibition era. I so love hearing about the history of these winery’s!

Most of the winery’s in Amador are open from 11-5 or 6pm so we only had time  for one other vineyard which was fine with me! ( I’m a one glass of wine type of gal! ). Next stop was Renwood. We discovered that the owner was one of the top billionaires in the world and owns several winery’s abroad!

Our last stop was Taste Restaurant. Lindsay had made reservations 2 weeks prior and when I got there I saw why!! The food was INCREDIBLE and reasonably priced. They allowed us to split everything so we could taste a variety of foods. We had a green salad to start, followed by a cheese, meat, fig, date and cranberry platter. Our main course was duck and filet mignon. Oh. Em. Gee.

IMG_7254
Ridiculously amazing!!!! For dessert I got a creme brûlée. Lindsay got sorbet. Insanely amazing. The flavors for the creme brûlée were chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch.

IMG_7235

We left with full bellies, full hearts and rested minds! Ready to take on motherhood once again! We had planned to see a movie after dinner, but by 8 pm I was toast!! I spent Mother’s Day with my beautiful family and it was such a restful day. Thankful to my husband who always finds a way to put me first!! ??

IMG_7227
We walked to church yesterday which was super fun! Afterwards we ate at jacks and took turns napping for the afternoon! Perfection!!!

IMG_7229IMG_7225

I fully recommend a day away as a mom. Especially with little ones. Our lives can be fully exhausting!! Get passed the guilt and realize you deserve it!!! Much love…

Ruthie xoxo

    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had

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 🤩
