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.
Everyone has days when they feel so scattered and discombobulated that they cannot function properly. You may be tempted to call your doctor and ask to be tested for ADHD, or you may wonder if you are suffering from some form of Alzheimer’s. Fortunately, the chances of either of those are relatively small and there […] More
There’s no reason you should be so tired after getting a solid nine hours sleep and going to bed at a decent time each night. However, you are still exhausted, and find yourself nodding off at your desk and yawning by mid morning each day. Even if you get plenty of sleep, eat right, and […] More
Even if you’ve never tried yoga, you know that it is great for your body and your mind. It helps you to relax, it builds your strength, and it works your muscles by using your own body weight to do it. Not only will you feel and look better if you take up yoga, which […] More
Summer is a favorite time of year for many, and it’s also a beauty buster for many. Take me, for example; summer is awful for me because my skin is easily aggravated by the heat and I end up itchy anytime I sweat. My hair hates the humidity, and spend three months walking around feeling […] More
Remember when you were growing up and your parents told you not to cross your eyes unless you wanted them to stay that way forever? Or how about the time your friends told you not to eat pop rocks and drink soda at the same time or you’d explode into a million tiny pieces of […] More
Unless you live under a rock – and even then, really – you know that the temperature this summer is nothing short of hot. It’s hot when you wake up, hot all day, and hot before bed. It’s just hot. Unfortunately, the world does not stop revolving and you can’t stop doing what you need […] More
Every parent is proud of their kids. You know it, and I know it. Let’s be honest here; my husband and I were so proud of our oldest daughter the first time she went number two in the potty all by herself that we called our parents, all the aunts and uncles, and sent mass […] More
As women, we spend so much time focusing on how we know a man is The One, that we forget to focus on how we know he’s not the one. The same is true for men. They spend a lot of time wondering how they’ll know if she is the one for them, but they […] More
Marriage seems more like something women are interested in than men, which I don’t understand considering it’s typically the man who asks a woman to marry him in the first place. However, that’s just the misconception and there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do about it. On that note, we hear plenty of […] More
Your reflection says far more about you than you think. Sure, when you see a woman in a pair of too tight, too short shorts with six inch heels and a tube top, you think you know what her look says about her (you might be right). While your look does give people an immediate […] More
Summer: It’s the time of year parents realize just how little teachers are paid and just how much they are worth. It’s also the time of year when you spend far more time outdoors than indoors. Summertime means firefly catching in the evenings, burger grilling, swimming, days at the beach, and time playing sports in […] More
Now that summer is in full force, you probably spend a lot more time outdoors. Funny, isn’t it? The weather is miserably hot and now we all decide to go outside and play, rather than when the weather is comfortable and we’re all indoors. Oh well, the point is that with so much time spent […] More
