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.
Maybe you remember the old line from Lindsay Lohan’s (pre-whatever she is/was on days) movie Mean Girls, or maybe you just saw it as a pin on Pinterest that reads, “On Wednesdays we wear pink.” Not true (even if there are some women out there who still think they’re in high school). Not everyone wants […] More
Changing your eating habits is a positive lifestyle change that offers you many benefits. Of course, many people make the decision to eat a healthier diet to lose weight and look good. Others make this healthy lifestyle change because they want to live a healthier life for personal reasons, such as wanting to keep up […] More
Feeling good about yourself is the easiest way to boost your confidence, whether it’s because you love your ensemble, your hair is perfect or you just scored a major deal with a big-time client. It doesn’t matter what you do that makes you feel good, your confidence level will grow (though we recommend you stick […] More
The Kardashian’s do it. Brad and Angelina do it. Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa do it. The seven dwarves did it (they are brothers, correct?). Working with family is nothing new. People do it all the time. Diane Omdahl and Melinda Caughill do it. This mother/daughter duo took their professional working relationship a step further […] More
Life is full of little annoyances, which you realize every time you’re eating lunch at your desk and end up with a keyboard full of crumbs and no earthly idea how to get them out. Or when you’re packing for vacation and you cannot figure out why your tennis shoes and flip flops don’t come […] More
Almost everyone is guilty of giving the kitchen the evil eye after a long day of work and herding your family into the car and out for dinner. After all, who wants to bother with cooking and cleaning when you can simply pay someone else to do it for you while you enjoy time with […] More
Who doesn’t love to shop online? Online shopping is the answer to every woman’s – but probably more so men’s – dream. Last minute birthday gift to purchase? Do it online. Need a new wardrobe before you head to the Caribbean in two weeks but have no time left to go shopping? Do it online. […] More
Getting dressed each morning is a problem for many women. In fact, most women find it difficult to choose an outfit that makes them feel comfortable, and confident all at the same time (if only yoga pants were acceptable for every occasion…). Even the most stylish and well-dressed women you know probably spend a great […] More
If our kids came out walking, talking, entertaining themselves, and already potty trained, life would be pretty awesome. Oh wait, they also need to be organized and clean, too; then life would be pretty awesome. Here’s the deal; some kids are clean and organized and some are not. My four-year-old likes things clean, tidy, and […] More
In-laws: Aren’t they just the icing on the proverbial wedding cake? Some might say their in-laws aren’t so bad (I love mine) while others shudder at the mere thought of theirs (my husband…I’m only kidding mom and dad). Actually, it doesn’t matter if you love your in-laws or you wish run face first into a […] More
Being highly organized is a great way to live because it’s simple. Maybe not everyone feels the same way, but I certainly do. It’s easy to be organized in most aspects of your life, but it seems many people don’t think about how they’re going to organize their social lives. You have friends together, his […] More
Having kids is a life changing event, and I know this firsthand. Everything you do right now is going to change, even if you think it won’t (and boy does every childless person think their life won’t change with kids). There is no more spur of the moment anything, because kids take a little extra […] More
