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.
It’s easy to get rid of high-maintenance people in your life, unless it isn’t easy. Some people are in your life whether you like it or not. Think about it: You can’t get rid of your coworkers or your brother’s wife, or your husband’s sister, but you can get rid of the friend you met […] More
By now you all know that stress is a pretty imminent part of life. No matter how hard you try, you always manage to find something stressful to think about or do. There are things you can try and things you can do to lower your level of stress, but that doesn’t eliminate the stress […] More
There are plenty of things that scare my husband and me about raising two daughters. However, one thing stands out to us more than others; that is raising two little girls who turn into ladies. Every time I’m on the computer or out in public I see women my age, older, and younger who are […] More
After 11 years with my husband, I’m not really sure what dating is like these days, which is why I’m always shocked when single friends talk to me about it. It seems so foreign, strange, and different than when I was single. However, like anything else the rules of dating change with time. Today, dating […] More
We all make mistakes. Women are perfectly flawed creatures. I’ll share with you the mistakes I once made. There was once a time – in the not so distant past – when I wouldn’t purchase anything that wasn’t designer or expensive. I wouldn’t dare put on a dress from Target or even consider stepping foot […] More
What is the most important thing in your life? If you answer anything but your friends and family, you might come off as selfish or sad. You either care too much about you and yourself to allow others to be important to you, or you have a really lousy family and horrible friends. Either way, […] More
If you’ve ever sat around on a Friday night wondering why you have nothing to do and why it seems you have no one to call to entertain you, it’s time to make some serious changes to your social life. While my husband and I sometimes wish we had this problem, we know all too […] More

The holidays are a favorite time of year for many. The smell of the spruce Christmas tree, the cooler weather, and the holiday spirit that seems to be everywhere are all great things that come along with the holiday. Unfortunately, having a Christmas list of 45 people to shop for, dinners to plan, holiday parties […] More
Here’s the deal; everyone has something less than truthful to say from time to time. You know you do. Whether you want to tell your boss a fib so you can cover up for a coworker you really like or you are making sure your husband doesn’t catch on to the fact that you’re making […] More
Everyone has an ex; even me. Despite the fact that I met my husband 11 years ago when I was 18 years old and he’s been my one and only since the day we met, I still have an ex. Of course, my exes were currents for about five minutes and none of them ever […] More
Everyone is afraid of something; and most of us want to overcome our fears. I, for one, am afraid of a lot of things.
