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.
Spring is here and with summer just around the corner it’s time to think about how you plan on entertaining in the great outdoors. The beautiful weather, blue skies and warm temperatures make it nearly impossible not to want to head outside and enjoy the sunset from your back porch or the afternoon sunlight while […] More
As a woman I often stand in front of my closet wondering what to wear. It’s not that always that I feel I haven’t enough to choose from or that I have too much to choose from, sometimes it’s just a question of how I can dress like myself but still be appropriate for the […] More
In the past year, since discovering Pinterest, I’ve have more people tell me how creative and talented I am when it comes to doing cute things for my daughters, holidays, my husband and around the house. I find this hilarious considering since finding Pinterest I have ceased to have any creative thoughts of my own. […] More
We all know someone in our lives who seems to have all the luck; they’re blessed in the intelligence department, the looks department, they can eat whatever they want and never seem to gain a pound, their kids are well-behaved and kind and they have all the success in the world. They’re lucky, right? Wrong. […] More
We all know perfection does not exist, even if some of us (ahem…guilty of this one in a major way) attempt to achieve it as often as possible and try not to panic when it doesn’t and sometimes you might feel the need to reach out to a friend who seems to be going through […] More
Your kids are being nuts, your husband is oblivious to the fact that there is more to helping out around the house than just doing the laundry and your current schedule is so busy that you cannot even find time to breathe; you obviously need a time out. Sometimes women find it hard to admit […] More
You expect a lot out of preschool. It teaches your child to prepare for the upcoming year in kindergarten, it teaches your child to make new friends, to follow instructions and to work in a group setting. You do not expect your 4-year-old daughter to get in the car after a day at school and […] More
You learn a lot of things growing up. You teach your children a lot of things as they grow up. Your children’s teachers teach them a lot of things as they grow up. Think back to what you learned growing up and how you wish you’d learned differently. Perhaps you were taught it’s best to […] More
Whether you are a recent graduate looking for your first job, looking for a new career path or simply working your way up the corporate ladder, there are a few things you need to know. You already know that you need an impressive resume, the ability to talk yourself up and the confidence to take […] More
Sometimes a woman with less than perfect vision (that would be me) doesn’t feel like getting up and putting her contacts in. Sometimes she just wants to wear her glasses and go. Maybe you’re running late or maybe you just don’t feel like spending two minutes in front of the mirror bothering with your contacts […] More
When do you have your biggest epiphanies? Mine come, typically, in the midst of hanging out with my kids. Most accurately, I find myself subject to epiphanies when reading to my children. It seems children’s books have the best advice around, which is probably why I enjoy reading (particularly Dr. Suess) books to my kids. […] More
As bikini season approaches (or has already arrived here in the south) many women are on the fast track to weight loss and a better body. There’s nothing wrong with that.
