NYE

December 29, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 48 Comments

After Christmas, I almost instantly have this feeling of, “ugh…. noooo, please don’t end”. In fact I feel that coming on 1/2 way through the day on Christmas day itself and have to stop myself and say, “Enjoy these moments!” Theres this short low followed by an instant sense of excitement an hope for the next year, the following day. I am exceptionally excited about 2016. There is really nothing like a fresh start and the anticipation of what is to come.  I have very high hopes that 2016 is going to be a great year! Before we get too ahead of ourselves, 2015 is not over just yet!
NYE is just days away, and let’s be honest, us ladies are always looking for outfit inspo! Katie and I styled these two looks below, and also linked up a few of our faves for this years’ NYE’s celebrations. Who doesn’t love getting dolled up a few times a year?!  New Years Eve is definetly one of those times to go all out!!  Let us know what you think of our top picks! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog.  Much love,
Ruthie xo

    Good blog post. The things i would like to make contributions about is that computer memory is required to be purchased should your computer can no longer cope with what you do along with it. One can set up two RAM memory boards with 1GB each, for instance, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should make sure the maker’s documentation for own PC to make sure what type of memory it can take.

    but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.
    It is lovely value sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content material as you
    did, the internet will likely be a lot more useful than ever before.

    It’s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if
    all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the
    internet will likely be much more helpful than ever
    before.

    Unquestionably believe that which you stated.

    Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the
    simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about
    worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the
    whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

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.
