Personal Finance and Lifestyle Guide
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.
After recently hearing from one of my girlfriends that her single mom went on a horrible date over the weekend, we laughed and laughed at just how bad this date was. I mean, you really had to hear her mom talking about it to understand just how awful this bad date really was. She was […] More
We all have days in which we want nothing more than to stay in bed and do absolutely nothing productive, and we don’t worry that it’s burn out. Bad days, lazy days, sick days and purely “Me” days happen from time to time and that’s fine. However, many women begin to experience more and more […] More
Growing up you learn a lot. You learn to tie your shoes and to bathe without parental supervision. You learn to read and write and do arithmetic; and you learn the basics of life. However, there are a few things you really should know before you enter into adulthood. If you didn’t take the time […] More
When nothing goes your way it’s important to remember that while it’s okay to be a little irritated and upset, you still have a lot to be proud of. When you don’t get that promotion at work or you don’t get a big raise or that first date you thought was going to turn into […] More
The most fabulous accessory any woman can have is, well, it’s a tie between confidence and a smile. Since it’s pretty easy to smile whenever you want, that leaves confidence as the more difficult accessory to carry. No matter what you do in life, you want to have and inspire confidence everywhere you go. There […] More
When one person in your relationship is unhappy, it shouldn’t be ignored. Today’s divorce rate is staggering. More couples than ever before are forgoing their vows in favor of divorce rather than working through their issues. Even though there are very valid reasons for divorce – think abuse and criminal activity – too many people […] More
If the world were full of considerate, responsible, on-top-of-their-game people, there would be no complaints from anyone. Unfortunately, there are always going to be those people you have to work with, deal with and see on a regular basis who are so inconsiderate and flaky that you find it impossible not to feel irritated on […] More
Everyone has a nosy friend, or a nosy neighbor or a nosy someone or other who makes you just a little bit crazy. Let’s face it; some people are just nosy. They want to know what’s going on, what the problem is and every little detail in your life. Think about it, have you ever […] More
When someone asks you out on a first date, it can be both exciting and intimidating. There’s this innate sense of wonder that this is the first date, the first time you get to sit down one-on-one with someone and get to know them as they are. Will they be the “one”? Will they be […] More
Rushing into a relationship is not always a great idea. However, it’s not always a bad idea either. Sometimes you just know that the man you just met is the one for you. Other times, you want so badly for him to be the one that you find yourself rushing into yet another relationship and […] More
When someone upsets you, it’s a natural reaction to want to tell the world what a horrible person he or she is despite the fact that you know you should take the high road. The high road in this instance requires keeping your mouth shut and saying nothing negative about the person you have an […] More
When you have a bad day – as we are all prone to do from time to time – it is occasionally difficult to get up the next morning without feeling a little bit of doom and gloom. Your day was so bad yesterday that you might wake up wondering exactly how bad today could […] More
