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.
Talking: It’s fun, it’s social, and it sometimes gets us in a lot of trouble at home, at work, and any other number of places. (think about the man who congratulates the woman in line behind him on her pregnancy only to receive a death stare and an, “I’m not pregnant.”). Unfortunately, you can be as […] More
Most everyone has heard the phrase, “Let go of things you cannot change.” It’s good advice. While everything changes at some point in time, not every change is one that you can control.

You know better than to attempt a heart to heart talk in the midst of his favorite team’s big game – or any story about any player that ever existed in any sport on any of the ESPN channels. However, it never fails that even after a romantic night out and plenty of stimulating conversation […] More

At some point we all find ourselves in a style rut. What I mean is this; for a while we rock a certain look and suddenly wake up one day on the cusp of a major life change and realize that what looked amazing yesterday suddenly makes us feel too young, too old, too trendy, […] More
Ever found yourself in a situation standing in line waiting patiently (or not) to have your turn so that you can get on your merry way when someone so rudely cuts in front of you like they didn’t even notice you there? I have; and it’s annoying. Have you ever loaned someone money (don’t do […] More
If you were to ask everyone you know whether or not they think they’d be happier with more money, I’m willing to be the resounding answer would be one big, “HELL YES”. Let’s face it, money is not the bad thing so many people make it out to be, as long as you have realistic […] More
If you are the parent of a little girl, you have big hopes and dreams for her. You hope that she grows up to become a compassionate, kind, generous woman. You hope she has good morals and stands up for her beliefs. You hope she has the confidence to succeed, the ability to laugh at […] More
It seems every season brings with it a myriad of difficulties when it comes to taking care of your newborn baby. The winter makes you worry that you’re infant will freeze and the summer has you worried he’ll become overheated at any moment. With summer approaching, many parents are wondering how they can keep their […] More
Worry is not a productive activity. It’s actually one of the least productive, time-consuming and stressful things you can do to yourself. What good is worry, really? Worrying about something you cannot control won’t get you anywhere. Worrying about things that haven’t even happened (and may never happen) won’t stop them from happening. All worrying […] More
When you think of an all-inclusive resort vacation you think of unlimited fruity cocktails, gorgeous beach views and fun in the sun. You probably also think about how easy it’s going to be to pack for a trip this casual. All you need is swimsuits, cover-ups, and a few outfits that are appropriate for dinner in […] More
