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.
You all know the woman who just can’t quite get her makeup right and always looks…well, wrong. If you don’t know her, then you probably are her. There are just some things that women don’t realize look completely awful, and I feel that it’s my duty to share with you all the worst makeup mistakes […] More
Fortunately for me, I don’t have many complaints about my husband; and when I do, they are pretty minor (like the fact that he lets our four-year-old listen to Katy Perry when I’m not home). However, even when I do have something to say about him, I tend to keep most things to myself. There […] More
My husband and I have this ritual; when we encounter another couple who clearly has issues, we make each other swear that we will never get to that point. We’ve spent the past 11 years promising one another that we’d warn the other if we start acting crazy or insane and we think our marriage […] More
I can honestly say that I love my job, but then again I get paid well to write fun, short articles for some of the biggest brands in the world. Did I mention I get to do it from home, on my own schedule, and while I get to hang out with my kids all […] More
Everyone knows that stress is bad. It will kill you. It ages you. It makes you look sick. It makes you eat too much, it doesn’t let you eat enough. There are so many things that stress can do to a person’s body and mind that I can’t even begin to list it all. You […] More
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed in the 11 years I’ve been with my husband, it’s how little our single friends can see. They are intelligent, smart, attractive people with a ton of common sense, and yet they occasionally cannot see what’s right in front of them. What I’m talking about, of course, is the […] More
The holiday season is one of the busiest seasons for proposals, which means you might be next. Whether you are wearing the ring now or you suspect it’s coming any day now and you want to get a head start on your planning, you should know that there are a few facts many brides are […] More
The only thing more frustrating than not being able to find the perfect gift/dress/item you want this holiday season is finding it, buying it, and then seeing the same item two days later with a 75% off price tag on it when you’ve already paid full price. It makes you see red, and not just […] More
Moms, do you ever think about how much simpler life would be if we were doctors and we never had to panic when our kids cough? That would be nice, though I’m not sure it would actually work since we always worry about our kids so much. However, if you want to try and worry […] More
The holidays are upon us in full swing, which means it is time to start your holiday shopping. Good for you if you’re the kind of person who already has your holiday shopping finished, but if you’re like the rest of us, you’ll wake up on Christmas morning and realize that you forgot something. That’s […] More
Don’t know what to add to your Christmas list this year? That’s not uncommon. As adults, my husband and I have realized that when we want something, we simply buy it. We aren’t kids who can’t afford to and therefore have to add it to our list of things we want for the holidays, which […] More
With the holidays, and any other day really, comes parties and occasions and meetings and any number of social situations in which you have to make small talk with people you don’t know. Maybe you don’t have anything in common, or you are feeling shy, or you just don’t know what to say; awkward silences […] More
