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.
We have three weeks until Halloween is here and that means it’s time to figure out exactly what we’re going to do on Halloween night. If your city or town is anything like mine, you certainly have your fair share of activities. However, you might wonder how you can make the most of this fun […] More
Your children are pretty awesome little people. Right now you have a strong, happy, loving relationship with them, but will that last forever? The answer is yes; if you practice building and strengthening your relationship with your children. Remember, they don’t have to like you or even love you, so if you don’t take the […] More
Positive people always seem to be the ones who have it all together. They have this innate ability to smile through any and everything, manage to find the good in all things and they never seem to feel down or overwhelmed. How do they do it? Well, they’re positive. Positive people are simply good at […] More
It’s spooky, it’s scary, it’s creepy, and it’s the best holiday of the year (says me); it’s Halloween! Halloween is such a fun holiday, especially when you have kids.

No matter where you live or what you do, your home needs to have a few emergency essentials; just in case. Now, don’t panic. Just in case could mean anything from a simple power outage to an approaching hurricane to a bad storm to an earthquake. I don’t know where you live, so I don’t […] More
Women’s health is a big issue, especially for women (what? I’m pregnant and sleep-deprived and overwhelmed how much energy brushing my teeth consumes this third pregnancy). We know that we have to take care of our bodies and make sure we pay attention to how we feel, slow down when we’re overwhelmed and love our […] More
Feeling tired isn’t exactly a mystery feeling. For the most part, we’re all tired all the time. It’s like we cannot get enough sleep or rest to feel like the human beings we are no matter how hard we try. While your feelings of tiredness might be a result of getting up too early, staying […] More
Ever wonder about the secret to a successful marriage? Of course you do; everyone does. I remember having that discussion with my husband 11 years ago when he proposed to me; a sort of, “I wonder how we can make sure our relationship is always as great as it’s been so far,” kind of conversation.

Getting a pet for your home is something many families think about and discuss on a regular basis. If you’re like my family, you might go back and forth about getting a puppy every few months, ultimately deciding that for whatever reason it’s not right at the moment.
