“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.

What I put on my face everyday…

Mar. 05, 2013

Ladies ask me on a pretty regular basis what I use on my face.  I usually answer  with “Do you have a while?”  Ha ha.  I was going to tell you about my new favorite face product but decided, why not give you my current regimen.   Just so you know, I am almost sure…

We found a chore for Tiara…

Mar. 04, 2013

As you all know, Tiara makes more messes and causes more chaos than anyone in our home and until recently she didn’t have any chores.  How can I find a chore for the queen of destruction? Tabitha and Trinity are supposed to keep their rooms clean, make dinner once a week and help me with…

Mar. 01, 2013

You are reading this on Friday, but as always I write each post the day before.  So, it is Thursday at 10:00 am and Tiara and I just got home from Trader Joe’s.   We skipped our walk because it is windy out and we are both having horrible allergies, so walking in the wind probably…

Can women really do it all?

Feb. 27, 2013

Saturday, I was on the computer blog hopping while Trinity was sitting at the table eating her lunch.  Tiara was coloring and we were wasting some time until it was time for Trinity’s gymnastics.  I ran across a blog written by a women whose tagline went something like this: working Mom of two toddlers, blogger…

In a panic

Feb. 26, 2013

I woke up this morning at 4:45 am and was totally panicked.  I was still tired but knew I had to get up and get some stuff done or I would act like a crazy person all day.  I needed to start marking stuff off my list so I wouldn’t feel so worried.  Sorry, but…

Feb. 25, 2013

I was thinking about our vacation to New York, jet lag and travel in general because everyone in our town has been away for ski week.  I remembered an incident that happened to me as a teenager, which was super scary and traumatic to my whole family and thought I would share.  This is the…

A few interesting things I have seen in the past 2 days

Feb. 22, 2013

On Wednesday I went for a walk by myself.  I don’t think I have done this in over 2 years.  It was really cold and Tiara wanted to see her grandma so she came over to visit earlier than usual.  I was going to  work out at the gym but somehow Lou took my car…

A crazy night and why I need to worry

Feb. 21, 2013

Our trip to NYC is only a week and half away and my biggest concerns are Tiara will get sick before or while I am gone and Lou won’t wake up in the middle of the night when she needs something.  As every family knows, Mothers are Fathers are wired completely differently. Moms hear everything…

The 2 books I can’t stop thinking about…

Feb. 20, 2013

So a while back I wrote a post on my friend and author, Candi Sary.  I hadn’t read her book when I published my post because it hadn’t arrived from Amazon. com yet but I posted the first chapter for everyone to read.  I talked about how I knew Candi and she was a local…

one year anniversary for my blog and some exciting news!

Feb. 19, 2013

One year ago today I posted my first blog entry about Trinity trying out for Junior Lifeguards.  I have beat the odds by sticking with my blog for an entire year, which is amazing for me.  Apparently most bloggers quit within a few months and normally I would fall under the quitting statistic because I…

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
