Ruthie Ridley Blog- Plaid Coats For Winter

This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle

Guys, we are really getting into the holiday spirit over here at the Ridley Retreat! As you’ve probably seen on my Instagram, we (really Ben) has been busy with home projects…painting, redoing our fireplace and laying some fun tile in the bathroom and entryway! Thank God for him. We’re having a blast updating our 1970s home and making it our own! Now that we have a space we’re really proud of, all I want to do is host, host, HOST! Knowing we had some parties on the calendar was the perfect motivation to get a few projects wrapped up and Christmas decorations up! This weekend we hosted my work Christmas party and our very first ugly Christmas sweater party…what a blast!

Every single year I purchase a staple coat that’s different—not your typical—just something that doesn’t look like everything else that’s out there. I also love having an option I can dress up! Different coats go with different seasons and different years, right?! Last year I got one from J.Crew…so classic. This year I was feeling plaid! Plaid has such a timeless wintery vibe. Pop a red lip and add a trendy handbag and you’re ready for any holiday party!  Link to my exact coat is here. I have included several of my favorite plaid coat options below…which would you wear?!

    I have a very similar coat, but on a more gray tone. I love it, I wore it a lot last year. At the moment it is too cold for it, but I am sure it will come out of my closet again at the beginning of spring.

    I have always been a fan of plaid but it’s been a while since I had a plaid coat. This one is very cool — I may have to revisit this trend!

    burden will not become a nightmare.

    I have discovered some important matters through your site post. One other point I would like to mention is that there are many games in the marketplace designed mainly for toddler age children. They consist of pattern recognition, colors, animals, and patterns. These normally focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This keeps children and kids occupied without experiencing like they are studying. Thanks

    Your style is very unique compared to other folks I have read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this blog.

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 🤍

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 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. 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😌
