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.
Nothing feels as good at the end of the day as a glass of wine, a good book/your favorite show on DVR and a little relaxation. Nothing, that it is, except for a spotless, germ-free house that makes you smile as you sit down to relax. You clean your house not only because it’s the […] More

Husbands cringe and boyfriends scratch their heads in confusion; they simply do not understand.
