“Loving Tiara is the kind of memoir that both breaks your heart and fills it up with hope and inspiration. Tiffani Goff is a fierce and faithful mother who is determined to give her daughter a good life. Her story shows us how a family can overcome extraordinary obstacles, and how a mom can be a superhero.” Candi Sary, author of Black Crow White Lie

“Beautiful, raw, authentic, tragic, and an incredibly precious read…”

“This memoir, when once finished, there is no looking back. After having the privilege of being part of this family’s day-to-day life, I wanted my experience to be never-ending. This story rapidly became essential food for my soul, allowing me to savor every “bite” with each page. Tiara’s life is the thread of the memoir, however never do the others become blurred. This is truth, without excuses, explanations, or regrets. What a distinguished way to experience life on life’s terms. Thank you, Tiffani! I have never been able to have children, however, those three beautiful girls were mine as long as the story went on. Give yourself the gift of this read, it will be with you for a very long time.” Verified Amazon Customer, 12/10/2020

” Five stars isn’t enough!”

” Wow, definitely gives perspective to those caring for special needs children. Tiffani is the definition of sacrifice, dedication, and unconditional love while taking care of her daughter, Tiara. Thank you tiffani for sharing Tiara with us.” Verified Amazon Customer 12/30/2020

Prologue from Loving Tiara:

I can never find the quiet. I know that someday this will end and I will have plenty of quiet time, but right now I can’t imagine that being my reality. Someone always needs me.

Most days I just hope to survive until she falls asleep. I constantly ask God, the universe, whoever can hear my thoughts, to give me the strength to carry on. It’s the mantra that plays in my head all day long until she falls asleep at night, and then I say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” with a huge sigh of relief. I survived another day.

I always wonder how I find the strength to keep going. Everyone in my family and inner circle are shocked that I keep doing what I’m doing. Some have begged me to stop, find another way, or have her placed outside the home, for they fear she will eventually kill me. I refuse to listen to them or entertain their suggestions, because I know in my heart, being her caretaker won’t last forever. I’m meant to be her caretaker for her entire life, and no one can stop me from doing otherwise.

I often wonder how I can love, more than life itself, the person who abuses me daily. Why do I crave her kisses, her bear hugs, and her contagious smiles, when I know she will suddenly lash out at me without any warning?

I would rather die taking care of her than give up on her. I am her mother, her voice, her strength her advocate, and her biggest fan. I am also a wife and a mother to my two other beautiful girls. They all need me to be strong, so they can pretend our lives are “normal.” Even when I feel like dying inside, I carry on, because that is who I am. This is the story of loving Tiara.

In progress…..

Dec. 19, 2013

So I found the paint and I love the new look.  I had a great day painting and was done with all the walls by 2:30p.m. but I didn’t finish everything until 5:30.  I had to repaint the chandelier in the kitchen hanging over the sink.  I also had to repaint the inside of my…

A gift for one of my readers!

Dec. 17, 2013

I was contacted by a very special company who sells 1000’s of beautiful products created by artisans around the globe.  Novica.com sent me a gift certificate for $75 to their website for me to use how ever I chose in exchange for writing about their amazing website.  Instead of using it for myself I decided…

Is a cold life threatening for Tiara?

Dec. 16, 2013

This is the question Trinity asked me on Friday afternoon after I told her I had taken Tiara to the doctor’s earlier in the day because she was coming down with a cold.  The way she phrased this question really struck me.  How many 11 year old’s would use the phrase “life threatening”?    It…

We can squeeze you in…

Dec. 13, 2013

If you have ever had to deal with a medical issue you know how difficult it can be to get an appointment with a specialist.  So difficult, it is a joke.  When calling to schedule I  always prepare myself mentally for them to to give us an appointment at least 2 months out.  If they…

What’s in your purse?

Dec. 12, 2013

Be prepared to be disgusted as you see what is in my purse.  Just know that I have been putting off cleaning my purse for at least 2 months. I can’t even believe I am admitting this.  I was raised to keep your purse clean and change it often to match your outfits.  Clearly I…

Wordless Wednesday strikes again…

Dec. 11, 2013

  This is Tiara and I in our matching outfits getting ready to go for our morning walk today. It was freezing out, so we really had to bundle up!  I mean freezing for Southern California, 40 something degrees.  Under her sweater she is wearing the same striped thermal as me.  I love to do…

One of those days….

Dec. 10, 2013

If you are anything like me, you wake up before your alarms goes off every morning.  I always set my alarm, just in case, but 98% of the time I am awake before it beeps, but not this morning.  I heard it, jumped out of bed and realized everyone else was still asleep too.  Oh…

The couch saga continues…..

Dec. 09, 2013

If you have been reading my blog for a year, you know about my couch saga but for everyone else and those who have forgotten all the gory details, let me catch you up.  Two years ago I bought a white leather sectional from Macy’s after much deliberation.  I mean I obsessed over getting the…

My guest post at Wego Health…..

Dec. 05, 2013

I recently wrote a guest post for Wego Health entitled “Caregivers, Take Time For Yourself (Really, How I am I supposed to do that?)”  I thought you might enjoy reading it since my post is going to be rather short today.  I linked the article title, so just click on it and it will take…

Recent Interview

Who is tiffani?

Mom, Wife, author of Loving Tiara, retired home stager, and chronic volunteer. I laugh when I'm happy, nervous, or stressed, so basically, I'm always laughing, and you can hear me from down the block if the windows are open. I love to swear even though it isn't ladylike, and I'm brutally honest, but in a super nice way, or so I think? I tend to roll my eyes, and apparently, my face is very expressive because even when I don't open my mouth, everyone knows what I'm thinking. My hubby and I are homebodies; I'm obsessed with always doing the "right thing " and taking care of my skin. I love learning, am always trying to evolve as a human being, and am a bit of a perfectionist. Let's have some fun! xoxo tiffani
