“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.

I think I’ve aged 10 years this month…

Jun. 23, 2014

I can’t even remember the last time I posted and in my mind I’m not even a blogger anymore, but here is a little update on our life. I have spent every waking moment looking for rentals since the last time you heard from me.   Everything is going great with the sale of our home…

Third times a charm?

Jun. 06, 2014

This week Trinity got her ears pierced for the third time in her life.  Why you ask at 12 years old would she need to get them done 3 times?  Because in the past they ALWAYS got horribly infected.  I mean pockets of puss forming behind the lobes.  Really disgusting and painful.  Both times in…

We are in escrow!

Jun. 05, 2014

Once again I have left you in the dark for days at a time but I have lots of valid excuses.  The first being that our house went into escrow last week and I have been focusing on getting everything done that needs to be done.  Sign and read the offers, the counter offers, disclosure…

May. 29, 2014

You guys are going to love this story and yes it is true.  As a matter of fact it happened last night (Tuesday).  Here we go. After watching an episode of Flip or Flop on HGTV, I said good night to Lou and climbed into bed next to Tiara.  I laid there for about 20…

I listened!

May. 28, 2014

I actually listened to all your comments and messages and did something for myself on Monday, Memorial Day.  The first thing I did was take Tiara for a walk on Balboa Island.  Since I haven’t even been walking much, it felt great to sweat and believe me I sweat pushing her in the wheelchair.  I…

Why does it have to be so hard?

May. 26, 2014

My life has gotten so pathetic lately I’m finding making small talk with other Moms at school has become immensely difficult.  Most of the Mom’s I speak too know about my life with Tiara and then when I mention we are selling our house they usually say with excitement, “Oh, where are you moving to?” …

Can you sleep anywhere?

May. 20, 2014

Growing up I was one of those people who couldn’t sleep in an unmade bed, a messy bed or any bed other than my own.  I mean would have sleepovers with my friends but the next day I was trashed and needed a nap. Ridiculous I know but in order for me to sleep, everything…

I was meant to do this…

May. 19, 2014

I have so many things to update you on but let’s start with what’s on my mind this exact minute.  It’s the book I am currently reading, “Carry on, Warrior the power of embracing your messy beautiful life” by Glennon Melton.  I received this book as a gift for Mother’s Day from one of my…

Hmmm, poop in my eye…

May. 14, 2014

Last night when I fell asleep, the contact in my left eye refused to leave my eye.  I don’t know what it is with me and my contacts but at least once or twice a week, one of my contacts magically disappears around my eyeball and I can’t find it anywhere.  I can feel it…

Is it a necessity? If not, I’m out…

May. 12, 2014

Have you wondered where I went?  Well, I am still here, but hanging on by a thread.  I am writing this on Saturday afternoon and it is the first day in 7 days I have sat down at my computer.  Why?  Because I have been painting and scrubbing my house from top to bottom. It…

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
