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.
Pinterest is such an amazing app – or website if you prefer to look at it that way (thanks to the iPhone, it’s an app in my world). I cannot even tell you how much more creative I’ve become, how much more organized – and I’ve always been hyper organized – and how much more […] More
Kids are pretty awesome. Sure, they make you a little crazy most days, but overall, they are pretty awesome. In fact, there is no limit to the amount of amazement and happiness my own children bring to my life, and I assume that those of you who have kids of your own feel the same. […] More
College is not right for everyone (and someone’s mother is going to hate me for this). In fact, some people are just more attuned to trade school or entrepreneurship. However, this is not to say that college isn’t something you should forget about; but if you’ve been thinking that it’s not right for you right […] More
Volunteer work is something that many people do. For the most part, they do it for others. Everyone has a different reason for volunteering, and it’s not always selfless; not that there’s anything wrong with that. For me, I enjoy volunteering for two reasons that are neck in neck; I love the feeling I get […] More
So your husband backed your brand new BMW into a tree or he accidentally locked the keys in the trunk and you’re having a bad day (in the car are his wallet, your handbag, both cell phones, your 2-year-old’s aero-chamber, your house key and your spare keys…and on a Sunday night, not at home and […] More
Monday: Yuck. There really are no other words for Monday. It doesn’t matter if you work outside of your home, inside of your home or you stay at home; Mondays never fail to be less awesome than other days of the week. When you start to feel a case of the Mondays (on Sunday afternoon, […] More
If only we could all stay young and gorgeous forever. While I’m not at all dreading leaving my 20s behind in two short months, I am becoming more and more concerned with my overall health; both inside and out. I am thrilled to turn 30 (I hear that your 30s are your best years, and […] More
Being the new girl in the office can make it a bit difficult to form relationships with your coworkers. On one hand, you know to relax because it will happen eventually. On the other, you’re dying to make friends ASAP so you can have someone to lunch with, someone to grab a latte with and […] More
Most of us don’t know anyone who has called off a wedding after the final arrangements have been made, the invitations have gone out and the big day has arrived. However, I think we might be surprised how many people we know who end up divorced contemplated the idea at the time. Many couples might […] More
As summer begins its ascent into fall, with July coming to an end and August seeming to fly by what with back to school shopping for the kids and end of summer parties to attend, it’s the perfect time to consider why you need a summer vacation. Even if you don’t think you have time, […] More
You’ve heard the saying, “Hater’s gonna hate.” You might not know exactly what it means (who does?) but you get the drift; there are always going to be people who dislike you or judge you or make assumptions about you because they have nothing better to do than analyze your life. It’s just how people […] More
Almost everyone knows one of these couples; the ones that seem to hate one another yet they continue their relationship, completely baffling you. We all know them. Just when you think they cannot stand each other anymore, this couple decides to get married. Just when you think that they need to divorce and move as […] More
