“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.

Still recovering from a Valentine’s fiasco

Feb. 18, 2013

After Tiara and I made the vlog in the Target parking lot on Valentine’s Day, we went home to start the cooking.  I was anticipating it was going to be a great day, but boy was I wrong.  I made the heart cake and left it to cool on the counter.  We ran out to…

Tiara and I discover something about the snack bar at Target

Feb. 16, 2013

Happy Saturday.  So this is probably the last time I will be posting on the weekend for a while.  I announced last week that I was going to post 7 days a week, but it is way too much for me.  I need a little break.  Lou said you would all understand and I assume…

Do you have facial hair? Yes lady, I’m talking to you!

Feb. 15, 2013

I can’t believe I am admitting this but I think I may help another lady out there, so I am going to come clean about a recent issue.  A few months ago I noticed that I was growing peach fuzz on the side of my face.  I had never seen this on my face before…

Valentine’s Day, just more work for me!

Feb. 14, 2013

This is how much I care about Valentine’s Day.  Zero.  This was my conversation Wednesday morning while Lou was getting ready for work. Lou:  So are we exchanging Valentine’s? Me:  Well, I made cookies for my sister’s kids, and plan on baking something for our Mom’s.  I bought each girl something small and I was…

What to give up for Lent?

Feb. 13, 2013

As you most of you know, I am Catholic and since today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, I need to decide immediately what I should give up for 6 weeks.  Like most women, I contemplated the whole dessert, chocolate, cookies, cakes, basically all sweets and I don’t think it is the best…

Why are we still married?

Feb. 12, 2013

Once in a while people will ask me “How are you and your husband?”  Many times it is someone I don’t know very well, but I always respond the same, “We are good.” I don’t think the answer satisfies them, but it is the truth.  How is it possible that we are still happy together…

A few realities I don’t feel like facing right now…

Feb. 11, 2013

This  past weekend was really long and kinda depressing for a few reasons.  Of course the first 2 reasons center around Tiara, her health and her horrible behavior and the last one is about money.   This is what happened. Two weeks ago the common cold managed to find it’s way into our house again…

10 hour chicken, easiest chicken recipe ever!

Feb. 09, 2013

This chicken recipe is the easiest thing in the world and has become Trinity’s favorite meal.  She even ate the left over chicken the next day, which is completely against anything she believes.  No one will eat leftovers in our house except Lou, Tiara and I.  I guess that means everyone except the two princesses…

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
