Tiffany Raiford is a lifelong Floridian, wife to my high school sweetheart and mother of four littles (two girls and boy/girl twins...no, they are not identical and yes, I'm sure).

Placing your home on the market for sale is a stressful situation at best, but it gets even worse when your realtor calls to tell you that she is showing your house in 20 minutes.

Women with small, empty handbags make me nervous. What are you carrying around in there? More importantly, what are you not carrying around in there? I love a designer handbag that will carry me through decades of time, and when my twins were born making my family a family of six, I knew I needed […] More

Thirty-three is quickly approaching, and I’m welcoming it with open arms. My birthday is the last day of this month, and I love my birthday. While many women dread their birthdays, especially after 29, I’m not one of them. I’m embracing my age, and I’m loving it. Right now, at almost 33, I’m better than […] More

Over the weekend my family and I experienced our first hurricane in over a decade. I’ll be 33-years-old the last day of this month, and I’ve lived in Florida my entire life. I’ve been through more hurricanes and more tropical storms than you might imagine, but it has been over a decade since the last […] More
School is back in session and college students are back to waiting longingly for the weekend so they can go home and eat good food cooked by mom and dad. Having never lived away from my parents when I was in college, I don’t know about this; but I know the good food deal is […] More
For years I thought that the way my morning began was what set the tone for my day. I still feel that to an extent, but now I know that the tone of my day has more to do with my reaction to how my morning begins more than how it actually goes. It can […] More
Being that we are all just simple humans, we are prone to make a mistake or two on occasion. I don’t know about you, but I make mistakes all the time. Just this morning, in fact, I left to take my kids to school and accidentally forgot to push the button to close the garage […] More
