I am a 29 year old Christian wife and mama living in the greatest city on earth...Austin, TX. I married the love of my life, Jon, on February 5th, 2011 and we have 3 beautiful children who we are coined the #hartlittles on social media. Ford Nehemiah was born August 11th, 2013, Lucy Joy April 27th, 2015, and Gideon Aaron November 7th, 2016. God took us on the wildest ride to our son Gideon Aaron through domestic adoption (a 4 month long failed match with a baby girl and 4 days later receiving the news that our son, Gideon was born the night before). You can view the video diary we made about the journey to Gideon here and the story behind his name here. We also have a 4 legged fur baby, Ernie the Frenchie who drives me insane but I love him to pieces. I am a stay at home mom who has a heart for ministering to new moms and have a love for crafting, design, embroidery, and cooking (follow my shop Instagram @ruthiemonograms) . Most importantly, my husband and I are servants of the Lord. We believe in the bible and our marriage and lifestyle is built on the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. I pray that my identity in Christ shines and that by reading my blog, you can feel encouraged, hopeful, and treasured.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

you and your husband are so cute!! I love how you captured so many of your wedding memories!
You guys are adorable. Ernie rocks! Visiting from #commenthour.
love your blog. visiting from #commenthour and following you. :)
Also visiting from #commenthour....your setup is very professional looking, well done! My eyes were immediately drawn to your book worm post. I am obsessed with books and am (slowly) working on my own book. I agree about not paying full price for either. I get a ton at garage and rummage sales. But I also tend to keep my books so I don't use the library as much as I should. :) Oh and if you haven't done so give the Twilight series a try...but make sure you have a lot of free time coming up! :)

Hi Ruthie. I was curious, did you design your blog or did you have it custom designed? I ask because I love it. I have a blog as well, I just started it and I'm trying to make it...beyond awesome. I wanted to know if you recommended any websites or had any other ideas on making and fun, cool, eye catching, make you want to read blog page design. My email is psncues@gmail.com and my blog is thesesweetpeas.blogspot.com.
Thanks for any ideas and thought.
Hi Ruthie,
My husband and I saw your episode of house hunters which led me to your blog. I love your dining room. Jon did a great job on the chevron wall. I recently bought a salvaged wood dining table and would love to know where you got your chairs. I really like the combination of yellow and grey together.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hi Ruthie! Love your blog, your love of life and God! In your post of 9/21/12 you mentioned an issue with the new blogspot not allowing uploading of several pictures. I am having the same problem on my blog http:/knittingoncloudix.blogspot.com and was wondering what you did on your site to resolve this.
Normally, if I'm taking time for a post I certainly want more than 1 pic! Thank you and Happy Blogging! Dawn

I saw you on House Hunters last night & just looked up your blog. I thought it was cool that we have a few similarities. Although we are 40 something'ers', my husband is 5 years older than me (we joke that he's a cradle robber also). He grows a beard every Thanksgiving till New Years. We live in Lubbock (both went to Texas Tech), but Kevin was born in Austin & grew up in S.A. Our 2nd son is named Austin.
I believe I will continue following & (enjoying) your blog. I bet y'all will have some cute kiddos someday! Julie
Ruthie! I happened to see your episode of House Hunters today. They showed that part about your blog and after a little bit of thorough creeping I am ecstatic to have discovered you went to A&M! Right now I am a sophomore communication major there. Again, I am so glad to have found your blog and can't wait to see what you write about in the future!
I left a comment on 1/1/13 & then saw your email today that asked for email addresses in order for you to respond. juliemomx3@att.net (if you want to, that is =)
I'm another person who found you after House Hunters! How fun. I hope the new house is exactly what you wanted and dreamt of. I was hoping you'd pick that house BTW!
I just read through this after following you from the Mommy link-up and I realized we were both from Texas and I attended Baylor University and graduated 2008... small world!
Watching a repeat of your House Hunter's episode & I love Ernie! My {2} frenchies are my everything. Glad I turned on the tv tonight. ~ Dee
Hi! My husband and I are just watching House Hunters and were interested in looking up your blog. I have recently started blogging myself, so I love reading other people's blogs. I have enjoyed what I've read so far!
Anyway, hope you found your dream home. :)
Hi. Saw you blog via house hunters. I just have to ask about your love of Jesus more than your husband---and presumably more than your son-to-be. Are you so certain this is a good idea? I have a son, and I was once a devoted Christian too. But one day I discovered that my church (and your church) hadn't been fully honest with me. Among other things, I read "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman. I learned that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are actually anonymous works---not eyewitness accounts as my church and bible publisher claimed (in contradiction to the evidence). Once you you realize this one fact, you start to look further, and then the whole story starts to unravel...
I recently watched your episode of House Hunters and just love your personality. I had to check out your blog. :) Congratulations on your future baby boy.
I saw you blog on house hunters last week and I swear Ive read a LOT of your blogs since then! You keep the reader captivated! I also think its quite inspiring how you, a christian wife puts God first. Its something I am trying to do more and more and you have inspired me on my journey. So thank you and keep blogging! (congrats on the baby too)
I just saw your episode of House Hunters today! Congrats on your baby! I miss my pregnant belly! Your house is amazing and you and your hubby sure are super cute! I've only read a couple of posts so far and they are awesome! I look forward to trying some recipes as well :)
I saw your House Hunters repeat episode yesterday which gave me the idea check out your blog, and I have to say I've been reading it ever since! This is my first introduction into the world of blogging and I'm completely hooked. I look forward to your posts and trying some of the recipes you posted! (i'm trying the pumpkin butter tonight and can't wait)Ps. congratulations on your bundle of joy, it truly is a gift from God :)
I found you from your guest post today on The Magnolia Pair and boy am I glad I stopped by! I am so inspired by your faith and I am really enjoying reading through your posts. We have so much in common. Congratulations on the baby and keep up the great work :)
Hey Ruthie, I just saw a rerun of your House Hunters and I have to say that you remind me so much of a brunette Miranda Lambert! Love your blog!
Hey, Ruthie! Just saw the rerun like Maggie G and she is right about you and Miranda Lambert!!
I'm moving to an area about an hour outside of Austin called Copperas Cove so I'm recording episodes of House Hunters that take place in Texas. So glad I'm not the only one who searches fav couples from HH! Very happy to see your love of Christ and it is apparent that it strengthens your love of each other & your family! Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy & may God continue blessing you!
Just found your blog through Jess (JMN Way) and I am so glad I did! (and just realized why you looked so familiar - House Hunters - my husband & I can't get enough of that show haha). Love your precious space & your sweet heart for the Lord. Can't wait to explore your blog more :)

You have such a beautiful family and heart for God! So happy to have found your blog!
Your baby is beautiful and he happens to be born on my birthday. By the way which was 46 years ago. Best of luck with this handsome little one.
I found your blog after watching your episode of House Hunters and I'm so glad I checked it out! New follower and can't wait to read more!
Love your blog! Also, my twin boys have the same birthday as your son. 8-11-13 :-)
Love that you started Ladies with Babies! No idea. I see your name pop up on there, but didn't even realize you founded it. Super cool. Also, Impractical Jokers is HILARIOUS. Such a great show :)
It is not everyone's business to write such a great post, one person in a million can write such a beautiful post and you are one of those millions. I hope that you will write more beautiful posts in life and also hope that you will keep climbing the ladder of achievement in your life, very few people do this but I have full hope from you.

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647 blog: spiritualherbal.blogspot.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

Life has not been easy with me after my marriage was broken when my husband filled for a divorced but I thank God for using LORD ZAKUZA who's like a God on Earth to get my broken marriage restored with his powerful spell. I suffered for depression for 6 months but today, I am so happy for getting to know LORD ZAKUZA for his spell has really made me to believe that of a truth spells are real and they work. I adhered to every bit of instructions given to me by LORD ZAKUZA for he promised me that he will make me happy and proud and really, all that happened and my husband came back to me with his knees on the ground begging me for forgiveness within 48 hours after I got in touch with him and now we are perfectly bonded again for life. I can boldly say to everyone out there that LORD ZAKUZA spells is really the best and most powerful. I'm forever grateful to him till the end of time. So, you can get connected with him on WhatsApp/Call with this number +1 (740) 573-9483.
