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). My kids love to whine, so I love to wine. My loves include nap time, bed time, date night, travel and evenings and weekends when my husband is home because he handles all diaper changes.
Kids and crafts are always a fun combination, especially during the summer months when the kids are home from school and the days are longer. Keeping the kids entertained is not only necessary for your sanity – and the prevention of the dreaded phrase, I’m Bored – but for your kids’ growth and development as […] More
A beautiful smile – or lack thereof – is the first thing so many people notice. Your smile says a lot about who you are and what other people think of you.

Honeymoons are supposed to be romantic. It is, after all, your first vacation together as husband and wife. However, honeymoons do not have to break the bank. So you probably won’t get to go to Bora Bora on a budget, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend an arm and a leg – especially […] More
Naming a new baby isn’t easy for everyone. While some men and women know their entire lives what they want to name their future children, others have a difficult time. Some choose old family names and others choose names they heard on television or in the movies. Some new parents, however, just can’t decide. If […] More

There’s so much to learn about becoming pregnant, being pregnant, and having a baby, which is why so many men and women choose to read books that help them along the road to becoming parents. Even second and third time moms re-read the same pregnancy books during their subsequent pregnancies. These books are written by […] More
Retirement seems like something far off for many people, but it’s not as far away as you might think.

Baby showers are fun and enjoyable, but they can be made even more fun when you play a few games. However, no one wants to play the same old games over and over again.
