“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.

Mini-me and I on a mission

Nov. 13, 2012

  Ever since Trinity was a toddler people started calling her mini-me.  I guess it is because she has the blondest hair, well natural blonde that is, talks constantly like me, is super bossy like me AND loves projects, thrift store shopping and anything DIY. A few weeks ago I finally got over to see…

Such a blah day!

Nov. 12, 2012

Well, it is 4:20 on Sunday and I am in such a crappy mood I can’t think of anything creative to say about Veteran’s Day.  The only thought that keeps coming to mind is “Hey People, Veterans day isn’t just for getting a discount at the mall!” It is the day we thank and honor…

Feeling depressed after the elections

Nov. 08, 2012

I don’t know about you but as I listened to talk radio today I was starting to feel really depressed about the future.  In our house we are barely recovering from the recession and after my hubby got a new job a few months ago everything was looking up until last night.  I have been…

The Best Caesar Salad Dressing Ever…

Nov. 07, 2012

My friend Vivian is married to Carl, who is a fabulous cook.  Carl is such a great cook that she never has to prepare any meals and they don’t even own bottled salad dressings.  Bottled salad dressings are against the law in their home.  Love it!  Last year they invited the whole family over for…

It’s official, I am a blogoholic!

Nov. 06, 2012

  As you all know, I love writing my blog but in the past few weeks my blogging has escalated to another level.  Once I got my blog just the way I wanted it, I decided I hated everything about it and was bored.  I wanted to change the logo, widen the page, shrink the…

The crayons have taken over!

Nov. 02, 2012

  If you are ever unfortunate enough to experience a ride in my filthy car, this is what you would see when you look up.   I know, crazy right?  Everyday the marks somehow seem to grow and encompass more of the roof area.   Every time my Mom gets into my car, she literally cringes when…

Chicken Tetrazzini, my favorite childhood meal…

Nov. 01, 2012

  This was my absolute favorite meal growing up.  Because it is so rich and fattening I have adjusted my Mom’s recipe over the years so it is a little better on the belly fat.  It still tastes just as great and is a perfect meal for a Fall night and is really easy to…

A trip down memory lane…

Oct. 31, 2012

I have to say I was rather shocked that yesterday’s post was my 2nd most popular to date.  I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I hadn’t included a picture and was going to get up and add one and thought “how stupid, Tiffani” your readers will be fine without a…

In response to your comment…

Oct. 30, 2012

A reader left me a comment last week that really took me back.  This was the comment: ” I feel so badly for Trinity. She’s been neglected and deprived a healthy emotional state. I’m unable to understand why it’s more important to devote 99% of yourself to a daughter for whom that investment will yield…

Do you think professional family portraits are important?

Oct. 26, 2012

  I grew up in a family where taking professional family portraits, was a must.  Almost every year my Mom arranged for us to have our picture taken by a professional.  We would use the picture for our Christmas card and then have a few framed for the walls.  Invariably my Mom would also buy…

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
