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.
So much of parenting is feeling guilty about certain things. Sometimes you feel guilty because your child is the only one who hasn’t seen a certain movie and feels left out among her friends. Other times you feel guilty because you didn’t read to her in the womb. The truth is, there are so many […] More
Yes, I accept the terms and conditions I didn’t read because the print was smaller than my one-year-old’s fingernails and it was 576 pages long. But I still accept. We’re all guilty of not reading the terms and conditions on our user agreements from time to time. How many times have you read the terms […] More
In this economy, you cannot afford to get a bad rap at work. However, no matter how great of an employee you are, you will sometimes face situations in which you make a mistake, you miss a deadline or you simply forget to do something that needed doing and your boss finds out. You’re not […] More
They say there is no such thing as a stupid question, but if I were to ask you if you like free stuff, you would probably consider that a stupid question. Everyone likes free stuff. It’s free. What’s better than free? The answer to that is free beauty loot. If you’re a woman with any […] More
It’s a never ending life saga for women: To buy the shoes or not to buy the shoes. They are gorgeous, but they cost half your mortgage. You can easily afford them, but you worry that they are an irresponsible purchase now that you have kids and college to think about and retirement accounts that […] More
Relationships and marriage are like a lot of things, including wonderful, special, difficult, trying and sometimes not worth the effort. For some, love seems effortless. For others – think Carrie Bradshaw season after season – it’s a lot more work and a lot more effort. Either way, once you’re in a relationship or marriage, you […] More
Do you ever have a day where you feel that nothing you do makes you feel polished and put together? As a mom, I have some of those days. I think back, longingly, to the days before children when I had all the time in the world to look effortless and put together. I have […] More
Most people are so consumed in their own lives that they don’t pay much attention to others. You may not realize you aren’t paying attention (trust me, we all do it) but you aren’t paying attention nearly as much as you think you are. Remember when your mom told you to stop worrying about one […] More
If you feel like you spend more time with your hair stylist than you do your husband, you probably have color. Whether you have highlights, lowlights or both, you probably spend a great deal of time having your roots covered up, because it’s a lot easier than wearing your bangs pulled back or a hat […] More
Spring is here! Well, it’s not technically here but considering the aisles are full of giant chocolate Easter bunnies (it should really be illegal to have any candy-pushing holiday less than 6 months prior to bikini-season) and colorful plastic eggs, spring might as well be here. You know what that means. Well, yes, you do […] More
Champagne and hor d’oeuvres are a thing of the past when it comes to entertaining in your own home. These people are your friends, so why are you trying to impress them with canapés and bubbly when you know they’d rather have a vodka martini and sushi? Not every event in your home needs proper […] More
There is so much advice when it comes to marriages, divorce and how to avoid the latter. There’s no right or wrong way to be married (though abuse is always, always wrong). What works for one couple might not work for the other and sometimes you just look at other couples and wonder how on […] More
