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.
Some people (me) work better under pressure. Deadlines, things to do, not enough time; it all makes me more productive and harder working. However, it’s not healthy to work in this manner, which is something I had to learn the hard way. There are serious negative health effects that come along with the stress of […] More
The holiday season means you’ll be spending plenty of time attending holiday parties. That means finding the perfect holiday dress, a sitter for the kids, and hostess gifts for the different hostess’ whose homes you are visiting for parties. It would be great if one gift was enough for all hostesses, but what do you […] More
I won’t lie; I’m always fascinated by women who want to get married and the men that don’t ask them. I don’t quite understand how a couple can date and commit to one another for years and years, yet not make the decision to marry. Then again, my husband proposed to me after a little […] More
No one wants to feel stress. It turns you into a raging basket case. You know you have too much stress in your life when people start assuming it’s that time of the month when in actuality you have a few weeks to go before you turn into a raging nightmare. If it’s time to […] More
Marriage is beautiful. At least, I think so. I can’t imagine life without my husband. We have fun, we laugh, we argue, we make each other’s lives better, and we respect each other without a doubt. Unfortunately, not too many people feel the same way. A lot of couples end up divorced after a while […] More
There’s nothing I love more than a fabulous designer, and Michael Kors is one of my favorites. He has a special place in my closet as I happen to love his shoes, handbags, and apparel. When Mr. Kors speaks, I listen; and I recommend everyone else listens, too. Some of the best fashion advice I’ve […] More
You may think that your man loves it when you do certain things. You might think he appreciates it when he comes home to dinner on the table and a clean house. You might think he appreciates it when you invite his buddies over for a football and beer day and you leave with the […] More
When life gets a little crazy, we get a little stressed. With two little girls, a husband, a career, and everything else in life, I sometimes find myself a little stressed out wondering how I’m going to find the time to get everything done. Fortunately, I always do. Stress, however, is not that much fun. […] More
Alcoholism is not a joke. Of course, that doesn’t stop us from making jokes about it. Here’s the deal; a lot of us drink. My husband and I have a glass – sometimes two glasses – of wine every night after our kids go to bed. We have cocktails when watching football games and we […] More
When my husband and I welcomed our first daughter, we found it difficult to be away from her. Each time we planned a date night I cried like a baby and tried to get out of going because I didn’t want to leave her. However, we agreed before she was born that we would never […] More
If you are anything like me, your house stays clean at all times. This does not mean that there aren’t toys on the floor – there are – or sippy cups sitting on the coffee table – there are. This means that there are never dishes in the sink, the furniture is always dusted, and […] More
There are some nights when there simply isn’t time to cook – and I’m not really a very good cook, so that makes things problematic as well. However, I can whip up a pretty mean pasta dish that’s as delicious as it is pretty. When we are rushing around and still want to have a […] More
