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).

Moms don’t get sick days, which means when you aren’t feeling good; the day is going to be a long one. Few things are as frustrating and miserable as feeling under the weather with kids – especially if you have more than one – and they want just as much of your attention, energy and […] More

After spending years together, it can become a little bit easy to put your spouse on the backburner while you focus on other things, such as your kids, career, life and family. It’s not that you don’t love him anymore; it’s just that you understand that he understands the pressure of having so much going […] More

Now that the New Year doesn’t feel quite so new, most of us have already forgotten – if only temporarily – our resolutions. Just because you didn’t change your entire life in the first few weeks of the year doesn’t mean that you have to give up and wait to accomplish your goals until next […] More
Your wedding day is slated to be one of the most important days of your life (whether or good reason or bad is entirely up to your own personal decisions!) which is why you should know as much as you can about the big day. It seems that hindsight is 20/20 (which I can’t even […] More
