“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.

Why is being tech savvy so time consuming?

Aug. 13, 2013

So once again I have run into a few computer/ television/live streaming/downloading issues which have required lots of my time to address.  The first of which I have yet to resolve, is a problem with out Netflix.  As of last week Netflix stopped working on all the televisions but it still works on the Ipads. …

Where have I been?

Aug. 12, 2013

If you are a regular reader you probably noticed I didn’t post Thursday or Friday last week.  In the past if I skipped a post it was usually because I was beyond busy.  This time I wasn’t over the top busy or on vacation, I just didn’t feel like posting. But Why? As much as…

She actually picked up a piece of trash

Aug. 07, 2013

So a small miracle occurred today.  Tiara went out to sit on her swing, which does many times throughout the day and as she went to sit down she noticed a granola bar wrapper on the ground.  She stopped, bent over, picked up the wrapper and turned back towards the house.  She then walked into…

Definitely felt like a Monday!

Aug. 06, 2013

Monday morning I woke up early because we had a house showing scheduled at 11:15am and I had to get Trinity to rowing camp at 9:00am.  Lately I have been sleeping until whenever Tiara wakes up.  Lou got home the night before at 9:30 pm just before Tiara finally succumbed to sleep while waiting for…

My hair color journey: I’m BLONDE!

Aug. 05, 2013

As most of my regular readers know last September I embarked on a year long hair color journey.  With the help of Tina Scoville Salvucci and Sandra Slaga from the Color Boutique in Newport Beach I was able to experience many different colors and cuts through out this past year. I am a natural blonde…

Why are girls so mean?

Aug. 01, 2013

I just dropped Trinity off at gymnastics and once again was shocked by how mean little girls can be.  We were waiting for the class to start when a tiny little girl about 4 years old started doing hand stands against the pillar (Let’s call her girl A).  Another girl about 6 years old joined…

What a way to wake up….

Jul. 31, 2013

Tuesday morning I woke up earlier than I wanted because I heard Lou moving around in the kitchen.  He squeaked in the door the night before just as I was falling asleep so I wanted to spend some time with him before he left for work.  I walked into the kitchen to start the coffee…

Rocket ship cake….

Jul. 30, 2013

So here is the picture of my nephew’s red and blue rocket ship cake.  He gave me explicit instructions as to the colors, flavors  and theme and this is what I came up with.  Apparently it was really good because there was only 13 people at the party and the whole cake was gone before…

Where the heck is the new wheelchair?

Jul. 29, 2013

Ok, I am losing it without a wheelchair for Tiara because I can’t exercise.  As you know most mornings we walk or rather she sits in her wheelchair listening to music and I push her.  Either way she gets fresh air and I get a serious workout. As you probably read last week, the wheel…

Not much to write about, except this….

Jul. 26, 2013

I was going to skip my post today because I just wasn’t feeling inspired to write about anything.  I thought about telling you how Trinity and I went to the beach by ourselves on Wednesday afternoon only to be greeted by freezing water and cold winds.  I had previously promised a big swimming adventure and…

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
