“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.

Memorial Day in Newport Beach…

May. 28, 2012

I was going to write my normal Monday post, My Journey with Tiara, but Lou came home from Lake Arrowhead sick so I needed to deal with Tiara.  While he went to the walk in clinic, I decided it would be fun for Tiara and I to drive around Newport looking at all the flags…

Please stop talking before I go crazy….

May. 25, 2012

    So, as I am sure you can all imagine, I can talk.  I can talk so much I can make Louie’s eyes roll into the back of his head, but you will never find me talking when someone else is addressing a crowd.  Yet, I find it fascinating that every time I attend…

Someone please explain this new trend….

May. 24, 2012

  I have been wondering for months why is it I see as many dogs in strollers as I see kids.  I am not trying to be rude, but the whole phenomenon is totally baffling to me.  When we bought our dog almost 6 years ago I was an avid watcher of the Dog Whisperer…

Another amazing trip to UCLA for the day….

May. 23, 2012

  So yesterday Tiara had a long overdue check up with her neurologist at UCLA.  I have been trying to get her appointment since last December but they couldn’t get her in until yesterday.  FYI, they have the best epilepsy department on the West Coast but you can’t really ever get in to see the…

Who do these kids belong to?

May. 22, 2012

    I know this may seem a little weird posting pictures of some kids  I don’t even know, but they are hilarious and made us laugh so much I had to share.   Sunday after church, the girls and I all went to Fashion Island with my parents for lunch.  We can never decide…

Stop, don’t throw me away….

May. 18, 2012

  Sometimes Louie and the girls fail to eat the bananas quick enough and they end up like this in my fruit and vegetable holder, disgusting.  If I would have peeled them 2 days before I could have froze them and used them in smoothies but I was being really lazy and didn’t so now…

Why does everyone say worry about yourself first?

May. 17, 2012

  I am so over hearing “what are you doing for you?”   Take care of yourself first,  You need to worry more about yourself,  Find some time for yourself, You need a break”, etc, etc.  I know people are just trying to be nice and they have been given this advice themselves so they are passing…

Last year at this time….

May. 16, 2012

  As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I don’t usually dwell on the past.  But because I have been trying to raise awareness for Tuberous Sclerosis this month, I keep thinking about this same time last year.  It was during this same week after Mother’s Day that Tiara was supposed to be recovering from…

Detoxing from an overdose of Sprinkles cupcakes……

May. 15, 2012

  I guess you are probably wondering how many did I eat, that I need to detox?  Well, I ate 5 Sprinkles cupcakes on Mother’s Day.  I know, I know….. I just couldn’t help myself, I have a serious sugar problem once I get started.  Well, the truth is I was revving up for a…

What do I really want for Mother’s Day?

May. 11, 2012

  No, I am not going to say a cure for Tuberous Sclerosis or an end to world hunger, this is not a beauty pageant blog but a reality blog.  Seriously, every time my hubby asks me what I want for Christmas, my birthday, our anniversary or Mother’s Day my answer is always the same,”Nothing.”…

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
