{ Twinning }

February 17, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 22 Comments

In all honesty, I am not sure how long these faux fur items will be appropriate here in California! For the past week it has been in the mid- 70’s, which I am by no means complaining about. It still makes me cringe when I hear my friends and family back home talk about the negative temperatures and the heaps of snow on the ground. The winter back home in CT has been relentless and brutal. I really don’t miss it!! Being born in Jamaica, I was made for the warmer weather. Needless to say, I still grabbed this vest for myself and the coat for Savannah. We may get a weeks’ worth or more out of it until its way to hot, but I got a size bigger for Savannah and there is always next year!! Not to mention, the price was right and I was not leaving the store without them!

I had seen this vest way back in the beginning of the season for nearly 40.00. I got it on clearance last week for 8.98! Score!!! Savannah’s coat was originally around 30.00 and I got it at the same time for 11.98. Yay!!! She will fit in it next year as well. One thing I have learned about Target is to never pay full price for clothing unless you are absolutely desperate. If it is meant to be, then it will be on the clearance rack in two, three and sometimes four weeks down the road marked down significantly.

To all my east coast friends, praying this spring speeds up for you all and the temps quickly rise! I know y’all are done with that cold and snow!! I know I would be. Until next time, much love!!

Ruthie xoxo

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 🤩
