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.
Almost every woman on the planet is just vain enough to critique a photo with her in it(do you know anyone who sees a photo of herself and doesn’t comment on how much she loves it or chunky her arms look?). Even the least vain women on the planet recognize an unflattering photo featuring their […] More
It doesn’t matter if you’re dating, engaged or newly married; moving in together for the first time is a big step, especially for those used to their own space and their own style. Many a relationship finds difficult roads with the onset of cohabitation. To ensure that you aren’t cursing him straight to you-know-where and […] More
There are some things you can buy on the cheap and there are others that you absolutely must spend extra money on. While most people have a different opinion (I, for example, believe that jeans, shoes and handbags need to be high quality) about which items they can pick up at their local Target and […] More
The internet is a dangerous place, and we aren’t talking about your overindulgence of online shopping expeditions on the Nordstrom website. We are talking about the ability for seriously creepy and very dangerous people to find out entirely too much information about you, your life and your kids. Every parent fears the day their child […] More
Most women are guilty of being a little judgmental. Some are downright horrible about, but the truth is, we all do it from time to time – and sometimes more. Some women judge others on their choice of clothing or men, others judge on another’s parenting skills or lack of proper etiquette. Whatever the judgments […] More
When your son or daughter comes home with their first broken heart it can be a difficult situation. You may want to roll your eyes at their overdramatic musings of, “He was the love of my life” or “I’ll never be happy with anyone but her for the rest of my life”, but you can’t. […] More
Never put off tomorrow what can be done today. Well, today your mother-in-law can watch the kids so you and your husband can have a much needed date night that includes cocktails, a romantic dinner and no sippy cups or diaper changes. Tomorrow is as good a time as any to get those dishes done, […] More
Even if Father Time gave you an additional five hours to get things done each day, you’d still have no time to do everything. The problem is that most people think that every minute of every day should be scheduled, and they end up taking on more than they can handle. There are those who […] More
Real happiness can be anything. It differs from person to person. One might say that real happiness for her is seeing her daughters smile (guilty) or the way her husband still looks at her like he thinks she’s amazing after more than a decade (guilty, again). Another might say that her own real happiness is […] More
Inspiration comes in many forms. Some women love to find their favorite quotes on wall art and hang them in their homes. Others like to jot down inspirational quotes on sticky notes when they hear them and stick them to the mirror in their bathrooms. Others, still, have entire boards dedicated entirely to uplifting and […] More
Men are so funny, and that’s why we love them. They pretend like they don’t understand why we spend so much time on our hair, and then practically have a heart attack when you bring home the wrong shampoo. They spend time telling you that you look great and rolling their eyes that you are […] More
