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.
Standing in the mirror winking at your reflection and giving yourself the old Joey (How you doin’?) is definitely something you’ve done (you can deny it, but what’s the point?). Perhaps you look ravishing in a new dress, or you’ve just been hit on by a guy entirely too young for you, or maybe your […] More
Why is it that your husband has no issue saying no and avoiding tasks he doesn’t want to do, but you always end up saying yes? When his brother asks to move in with you for a few weeks while he looks for a place of his own, he says no and that’s the end […] More
If only you could think about being thin and then actually be thin. You’d save money on your gym membership, healthy diet plan meals and so many other things that you purchase in hopes that Gisele is hiding somewhere beneath your left over baby weight (if only). You can’t think yourself thin, but you can […] More
There are certain words that you hear that might make you cringe; like calories and exercise and gym. The bane of your existence is food. You want it, but you don’t want it, you know? Since it doesn’t look like anyone has quite figured out the key to making all delicious things calorie free, it […] More
There is no such thing as too much money, too much fun or too many shirtless abs on Dancing with the Stars. However, there is such thing as too much nice. Being a nice girl is attractive, but being too nice makes you a pushover, and a pushover is not attractive. Sometimes you need to […] More
Driving your Ferrari up to your multi-million dollar beach house in the tropics is not what makes you happy. All right, that would make most people happy, but fortunately it doesn’t mean that everyone else is doomed for eternal misery. Many mistakenly believe that a fancy lifestyle is what will make them happy, but the […] More
It doesn’t matter what you do – unless you do absolutely nothing, in which case this does not apply to you in the least – you are pretty busy, and definitely need some time to relax. Unfortunately, when a busy woman is given time to relax, she becomes panicky and finds 10 different reasons why […] More
Swimsuit season is just around the corner – unless, of course, it has already arrived, like it has for so many women around the country – and that means it is time to get your body bikini ready. Actually, you are quite the procrastinator if you are waiting until now to get your body bikini […] More
Everyone has a few bad habits, and most people try to give theirs up because they know they are bad for them (smoking, anyone?). However, out of all the things consider bad for you (yes, you with the third cup of coffee) not all bad habits are necessarily bad. Since so many women love so […] More
It is widely believed that those who envision what they want will get what they want. Well, plenty of people have envisioned millions of dollars in their bank accounts and being promoted to president and CEO of their company, but they are still working for a paycheck in a cubicle with 30 other people envisioning […] More
You know yourself pretty well, but you really don’t. You think you know what will make you happy, but really you don’t. Sounds like a bit of a predicament, doesn’t it?

If you haven’t read it, you’ve probably watched it, so take a minute to hear what Aibileen says and remember that “You is smart. You is kind. You is important.” Now, ask yourself why you occasionally do things that are not smart, not kind and not important. It is a waste of time to behave […] More
