“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.

is it better to look good or feel good?

Jul. 17, 2012

  If you would have asked me this question 13 years ago my answer would have been unequivocally, ‘LOOK GOOD!”  If you asked me today, I would say “FEEL GOOD!”  Why is that?  I guess with age comes a certain maturity and acceptability about who you are and what is important.  The truth is if…

Where is the brush?

Jul. 13, 2012

  You may find this hard to believe but it is practically impossible to find a brush in our house.  You are probably thinking, well if you just keep it in a drawer I am sure it will be there tomorrow when you look for it.  If only it was that easy.  The truth is…

Are You a Potential Blogger?

Jul. 12, 2012

  As you know, I really don’t blog about blogging but since I have received several messages from readers asking for “advice” on how to start a blog I thought I would give you my two cents to determine whether blogging is even a possibility for you.   As I mentioned in another post I…

Are you jealous?

Jul. 11, 2012

  Everyday Louie shares my blog on his Facebook because he is trying to be supportive.  Yesterday he said “I am not sharing your blog today with that big picture of Matthew McConaughey!”  “Wow, are you actually jealous, love?  Perfect I will write about that tomorrow.”  He stomped out and went to the computer and…

Magic Mike and Fifty Shades of Grey all in one week…

Jul. 10, 2012

  For the past week I have heard the opening monologue from “Magic Mike” several times a day, courtesy of Tabitha.  “THE RULES ARE: YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CANNOT TOUCH, BUT I SEE A LOT OF LAW BREAKERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT”. The crowd roars and all the ladies squeal, including my daughter.   …

Re-entry is always hard…

Jul. 09, 2012

  So I am forgoing my normal Monday post , My Journey with Tiara, as I am way too emotionally and physically tired, to rehash Tiara’s past medical history.  In addition, that post always takes me several hours to write and I don’t have several hours to spare today as I am having 11 people…

I hate your face!

Jul. 06, 2012

  I bet you have never heard the expression, “I hate your face,” until today.  Well in our household it is a very common expletive that Tiara yells to different people throughout the day at least 20 times, starting first thing in the morning. When we first heard it we couldn’t help but laugh because…

A memorable 4th of July…

Jul. 04, 2012

  I was thinking about what I wanted to write today and the memory of me at 11 years old on the 4th of July, kept coming to mind over and over again, so I decided why not share what a freak I was. I grew up in Newport Shores across the street from the…

How can you not know what size you wear?

Jul. 03, 2012

  My husband Lou has been wearing the same size clothing for the past 10 years and yet he still can’t remember what size he wears.  Lou and I have a long complicated history in regards to his wardrobe.  When we met he only shopped at Nordstrom’s.  He had a credit card from his parents…

Out of This World Raspberry Bars….

Jun. 29, 2012

    I have been making these bars for years and they are sooo good, people are always asking for the recipe.  These are not on my list of healthy recipes but are over the top yummy.  They would be great for Fourth of July and really good for a brunch dessert, if there is…

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
