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.
They (doctors? Your mom? Your grandmother? I don’t really know) say that laughter is the best medicine. Whether you’ve put much thought into it or not, it really is pretty good medicine. When was the last time you spent time with your hilarious loved ones and didn’t leave feeling better than when you arrived? While […] More
When you wake up and start the day, you expect that it will either be a good one or a bad one depending on what your schedule looks like (you know, good if you get to go to happy hour with your husband and bad if you have to go to the gynecologist to have […] More
Wedding season is upon us full-swing and with that comes all of the bridal shower advice cards and well-meaning messages of advice from your wedding guests. You know that you shouldn’t go to bed angry or forget to say you love one another as often as possible, but that’s old advice. Sometimes the best advice […] More
People are just full of advice. They want to tell you how to raise your baby, how to do your hair, how to plan your wedding, how to pump your gas; they truly have something to say about everything (guilty…). While some advice is great, other advice is questionable. While I personally like to take […] More
Spring has arrived and there’s just something about this time of year that inspires you to feel beautiful.

You know that first impressions are pretty important, which is why you do your best to maintain a good one when you meet someone for the first time at a social gathering, meeting or anywhere else. You know to dress well, to maintain eye contact and to offer a firm but friendly handshake. However, did […] More
Everyone is bound to face a day in which the alarm doesn’t go off, you’re running late and everything that can go wrong does go wrong. These days aren’t the most fun, obviously, and choosing what can wait and what can’t so that you can get out of the house as close to on time […] More
If you’re one of the productive people who creates a to-do list of things that must be accomplished today or tomorrow, you rock. Unfortunately, your to-do list is probably pretty boring consisting of things like pick up the dry cleaning and take the dog to the vet. These things don’t make you happy; they make […] More
Dinner and a movie, again? It can get a little boring after a while going to the same restaurants and doing the same things over and over again on date night, but don’t worry. Even if you cannot possibly think of anything else to do with your favorite guy any given night of the week, […] More
All those romantic comedies you make your husband watch with you can actually teach you a very valuable lesson. If you happen to be a single lady who recently went through a break up or you have a friend who just can’t seem to get lucky in love, you can help her get over her […] More
Who doesn’t want a promotion at work? Most people are happy and willing to admit that they are in the market for a better paying, more powerful role in the office, but most of those same people have no idea how to go about getting a promotion.
