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.
Your marriage should be one of your top priorities. Your kids learn the value of a good relationship from watching your marriage, which makes it even more important to maintain. It’s the time of year when everyone is making resolutions and promising to change things about themselves, but many people forget to make changes to […] More
A New Year: A new you. Along with the onslaught of resolutions and the longing for spring and summer come the new trends of the year. It’s no secret that I view trends as something fleeting – yes, I just said that – and not really worth my time in every aspect, but I do […] More
The prom dress you wore in 1987 with the shoulder pads and big bow on the bottom, the love notes your high school sweetheart – who is not your husband – wrote to you back in the day, and grudges: What do these things have in common? They’re just a few of the things that […] More
It’s so easy to sit down over a glass of wine and complain to your husband that your kids misbehaved all day and listen to him as he rolls his eyes and talks about a coworker whose attitude is irritating. We complain that there aren’t parking spaces close enough to the store or that we’re […] More
If one thing about life is certain, it’s that I’ve never understood New Year’s resolutions. Let me clarify; I understand wanting to make positive changes, but I don’t understand making a long list of them on the last day of the year and expecting to succeed at them starting the next day. I’m more of […] More
As women we are notoriously concerned with our appearance, especially when it comes to aging. No one wants wrinkles and saggy skin and other body parts that look as old as their birthdates. You cannot stop yourself from aging, but the good news is that you can stop your body from looking aged. If you’re […] More
Over time relationships tend to falter here and there. The excitement of being in a new relationship gives way for the irritations of real life and all that goes with it. Most people assume that this is perfectly normal and typical behavior of relationships, but it doesn’t have to be. What people tend to forget […] More
Everyone loves a good cliché when the shoe fits (do you see what I did there?). Of course, old clichés are often ignored and rarely taken seriously. However, as we work our way into a new year – and a new reason to make some much needed changes to our own lives – it’s important […] More
Out with the old and in with the new. The holiday season is a big one for proposals, which means you might very well be a woman on a mission to plan your very own wedding. Or, maybe you’re a woman who has been engaged for a while now and your dreamt about spring wedding […] More
Everyone has an opinion, and they don’t always mesh. Women in particular are notorious for being berated for their opinion, and because of this too many women keep their opinions to themselves. They are afraid to speak up, and sometimes they are afraid to be different. The fact is no one should be made to […] More
Now that summer is here and another round of graduates is embarking on the real world looking for jobs, some job advice is needed. Most college graduates end up feeling let down after realizing that they worked hard, studied hard, and paid a lot of money to get their education, and it still doesn’t seem […] More
In the world of business there are employees and there are bosses. It doesn’t matter which one you are right now, you might be the other at any point in your life. However, if you have your sights set on the CEO’s chair you need to know that there is a fine line between being […] More
