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.
Ever wonder exactly what it is that makes some women so completely happy? Most people assume that the women who are genuinely happy in life have it all.

Being strong is a great attribute, but physicality is only part of strength. To become successful – no matter what you do in life or what you consider successful – you need mental strength as much, if not more, than physical strength. Oftentimes it’s not the physical things in life that challenge you the most; […] More
Commuting to the couch, or the front porch or your home office sanctuary in less than 10 seconds is one of the biggest perks of working from home. Not only do you not have to wear pants if you really don’t want to, you don’t have to work around anyone’s schedule but your own. Can’t […] More

Motivation is something that we use to keep our goals alive and part of our reality. However, sometimes it’s hard to do exactly that when we constantly use motivation crushers. What’s a motivation crusher, you ask? Well, it’s something that we tell ourselves thinking that it’s going to make us fight harder and worker harder […] More
Being pregnant is enough of a health issue on a good day without having to worry about coming down with the flu this time of year. You have to eat right, get plenty of exercise, rest, sleep and rely pretty much on Tylenol to get you through any illness you develop for nine months. If […] More
It’s not uncommon to hear women who live in the coldest areas of the country talk about how difficult it is to look chic and sophisticated and fashionable in the dead of winter. When your choice is gloves, hats, scarves, pants and jackets that really need to keep you warm, it can be difficult to […] More
Jeans; we all have a love/hate relationship with jeans. How are you supposed to know which pair of jeans looks best on you? Are you as great looking in skinny jeans as the model-looking woman down the block or are your thighs really that fat (trust me – you think they’re a lot bigger than […] More
Some of us were raised hearing – and eventually believing – that there are parenting rules we must always follow; no matter what.

Now that winter is approaching at a rapid pace, it’s time to consider how you’re going to prepare for the season. No, I don’t mean making Christmas lists and checking them twice (well, yes, you’ll need to do that, too). What I mean is that you must consider how you will prepare your vehicle for […] More
