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.
Whether you’ve been married for years or you’re fairly new to this relationship, doing something romantic for the man you love and for your relationship is always a good idea. Really, it’s never a bad idea to put into your marriage or relationship what you want to receive from it because always putting your best foot […] More
It’s probably safe to say that failure isn’t exactly a word you love to hear. If we’re honest, we’d all say we wish failure wasn’t something we’ve ever experienced. However, once you take the time to look at what failure really is, it doesn’t seem so bad. Failing is something I used to fear, but […] More
Few things in life are worse than a migraine (unless you count meeting his parents for the first time dressed in something entirely too revealing because he didn’t tell you that your romantic dinner wasn’t just the two of you). The pounding, the pain and the knowledge that relief is not easy to come by. […] More
Maybe you used to love your job but suddenly you find yourself dreading heading to the office each day. Perhaps you’ve worked your way so far up that you have nowhere else to go, or maybe you just find it difficult to love what you do anymore. Just because you spent a lot of time […] More
Ever feel like you are getting dumber as you age, rather than more intelligent as you were so sure would happen? In a world where the answer to anything is a simple google search away and when the world is at your fingertips thanks to internet access on your smartphone, we might actually be getting […] More
Friendship is forever. Except when it’s not. Think about it; how many of your childhood friends are you still close to? Not the kind you send a Christmas card to each year and then promptly ignore then until the next Christmas card is due to be mailed. We’re talking about good friends whom you’ve loved […] More
You are the only person who controls your own happiness, which is why you should live by the rules – to an extent – but create your own. Too many people spend entirely too much time worried about things that will never happen, focusing on things that don’t matter, and trying to live a life […] More
Just about everyone wants to conquer their world at some point in life, but some of you need a little motivation from time to time. It’s not always easy waking up tired, dreading the long to-do list you have to conquer during the day. What you need to get you going – aside from a […] More
Getting the kids ready and out the door in the morning can be a bit of a challenge, even for the best and most efficient of moms. When your preschoolers suddenly lose the ability to dress themselves and no one can decide what to wear, it makes things stressful. If you want to eliminate the […] More
Being a good friend means sometimes doing things you don’t want to do (think going on a blind date with your friend’s new boyfriend’s friend, whom you’ve never met) but it’s worth it in the end. Your friends are the family you create, and they’d do the same for you in a second. If they […] More
Not everyone has credit. The credit bureaus do not just automatically start you off with good credit and wait to see if you will keep it up or wreck it. You have to establish credit, and for some that is much easier said than done. It can be difficult to get credit when agencies are […] More
Change. Yuck. Not everyone likes change. Daylight savings time for one, is a change that I am not on board with – longer days mean shorter nights for my sleeping babies. Change isn’t for everyone, though some deal with it better than others. Small changes are no big deal to some, while big changes are […] More
