“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.

My first spray tan, with Tiara in tow….

Jun. 28, 2012

  Just so you know, Tiara is now totally obsessed with the beach, which means I will be in a bathing suit all summer.  I am so not happy about this.  I think I have gotten away with barely exposing myself the past few summers because she wasn’t swimming, but now that has all changed…

Where is all my stuff?

Jun. 27, 2012

  If you have a teenager living with you, you understand the title of this post.  Where is my stuff?  Why is it that teenagers are smart enough to find everything they need of YOURS but can NEVER remember how to put anything back where it belongs?  Hummmm.  I guess they “just forgot”to return it…

Tiara gets a beach day!

Jun. 26, 2012

  Just so you know, Tiara has not been swimming in a pool in 3 years.  She absolutely loves to swim, but if you bring her around a pool she will just jump in whether she has a suit on or not and despite the fact that she doesn’t know how to swim.  After years…

Everyone just leave me alone…

Jun. 22, 2012

  I am having one of those days again and I just want everyone to get the hell out of my house and leave me alone.  That would be heaven, so rude of me, but true.  I dream of the day my house stays clean all day, no one complains they are bored, no one…

What do you buy at Trader Joe’s?

Jun. 21, 2012

I buy almost all of my groceries at Trader Joe’s and I know some of you do the same, but I also know some of you have a hard time finding stuff you think your kids will actually like and eat from Trader Joes’s.  So, I thought I would share my weekly staples and favorites…

My blog is going worldwide…

Jun. 20, 2012

  I am currently in an expansion phase of my blog.  Well, in reality what happens is sometimes I just write my blog for the day and then don’t think about it again until the next day.  I am tired and don’t have much time so I just do the bare minimum.  I am sure…

Why is everyone staring at us?

Jun. 19, 2012

  Why is everyone always staring at us?  This is the question Trinity asks me every time we go out in public with Tiara.  Trinity is 10 and at the age where she is noticing everything and everyone around her and is always embarrassed that people stare at us.  I always tell her to ignore…

The best thing about Dad’s…

Jun. 17, 2012

    How cute is my Dad?  So cute, love the tie and the aviators.  Sometimes I think women today don’t realize the importance of men and Father’s in their children’s lives.  So many women work, take care of the kids and even more, to the point where they forget that kids need Dads and…

We got the stomach flu…..

Jun. 15, 2012

    Wednesday night/ Thursday morning Tiara woke up at 1am again.  She kept making her usual demands, ipod, movie, crayons, pictures but then she started coughing.  Oh crap, I ran to the cabinet and grabbed a towel.  When she coughs more than 2 times in a row it means she is going to vomit. …

crazy for chandeliers…..

Jun. 14, 2012

I have a serious love of chandeliers and as a result I have 6 chandeliers around my barely 2000 square ft home.   Years ago, my mom started buying them at the flea market in Long Beach and then all the ladies in our family got totally hooked.  We all started hanging them in every possible…

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
