Check out Mary's Debut Novel, Tales of a Mommy's Sippy-Cup


Have you ever wondered what’s in a mommy’s sippy cup? Maybe a refreshing jug of water infused with lemon, a protein shake packed with extra kale, or, just maybe, it’s the unassuming adult cocktail. Let’s face it, being a mom and wife isn’t always the fairytale we think its cracked up to be; instead of princess dresses and a waiting knight in shining armor, most mothers are judged as if its still 1950’s suburbia. 

Being a woman is challenging, and women have not only become afraid to be honest with others, but with themselves. 

Tales of a Mommy’s Sippy-Cup started as a blog that impressively offended residents of the author’s small town. The controversy wrapped snug around the honest matter-of-fact tenacity facing the functions of motherhood often ignored. Mary Haddock not only embraces the actuality of her motherly role, but the social pariah she had become amongst the superficial parents in her community. She went against the grain and wrote down her personal narrative for all to enjoy. 

Equipped with a sippy-cup tip at the end of each tale, Haddock makes clear that fellow mama warriors are not alone in this insane universe called motherhood. 

So grab your special sippy-cup with your choice of adult beverage, and let’s sit back and laugh at how moms try to keep it real. Cheers!

Biography

Mary E. Haddock is a wife, stay-at home-mother and blogger residing in New Jersey with her husband of twelve years and their four young boys. She is a certified teacher with a Master's Degree from Rutgers University who founded and operated her own licensed Child-Care Center for five years before deciding to focus more on home life. After starting a candid blog chronicling the 'uber' and over-the-top events following her four travel sports' sons and head-coach husband, a trajectory of small-town uproar followed the truth that she seamlessly portrayed with unsharpened ease. Haddock was thus inspired to continue on, narrating both personal and raw events that touched on women's struggles as wives and mothers; hence, "Tales of a Mommy's Sippy-Cup" series was born.

Coming soon in early 2017: “Tales of a Mommy’s Sippy-Cup: Tips for Moms on Stayin’ Sane.”

Treasure Me, Alpha Four Book  1 Excerpt!

At the sound of the voice behind her, Sophie gasped and spun around, her free fist raised and ready to put up a fight, even more shocked at the sight of Rebel standing directly in her line of vision. In the heat of the moment, she wasn’t sure if it was paranoia or extreme fear – not that it mattered which one – but one or the other amped up her adrenaline and pretty much dictated her response. Without warning, her fist connected with his brick wall of a chest.
Not one word left his lips and he stood stoic, obviously not bothered in the least by her attack. Probably because her fist bounced off like a rubber ball. His lips curved into a smirk.
“Easy there, tiger.”
Ignoring his smooth, rich response and thigh-tightening smirk, she stood on her tiptoes, wrapped both hands around his equally-muscled shoulders, and shook him. Never mind that she couldn’t move the mountain in front of her.
“You scared me to death!”
With little effort, he peeled her fingers from his muscle, placed a hand to the small of her back and then led her to an annoying familiar vehicle parked at the curb; so much for avoiding a bodyguard. As if he’d done it a thousand times before, he opened the passenger door and then gestured at the seat.
“In.”
Although still somewhat shocked by the whole ordeal, she managed to find a tiny bit of resistance. She planted her feet on the curb and raised an eyebrow.
For a few seconds, they both stood stoic, engaged in a silent battle of wills. She had no idea just how stubborn he could be, but she knew her own stamina and had no intention of giving in.
“Get in the car, Sophie.”
Still, she stood immobile, her eyes narrowed, determined to wait him out. For several seconds, they simply stared at each other, gazes locked, each issuing a silent dare. Sophie didn’t care if her eyes caught fire, she would win this showdown. Finally, he released a hard breath.
“Please.”
She gave him what she intended to be a cheeky smile and entered the vehicle. He shook his head, closed the door, and then entered the driver’s side several seconds later.
“Are you always this difficult?”
“Always.”
He chuckled as he drove away from the curb and into traffic. “Where were you headed?”
“To my studio.”
“Normally, the tail needs that information.”
She shrugged. “Normally.”
“Good thing I was up early.”
“Luck.”
“You wish. I knew you wouldn’t follow instructions.”
“Really? What gave you that impression?”
“Your father didn’t tell you much about me, did he?”
“No.”
“Good thing.”
            “Why?”
“If the Senator had told you even half of what he knows about me, you wouldn’t have gotten in the truck.”
She swallowed hard – not out of fear like she probably should have, but to keep the twenty or so questions from escaping out of sheer intrigue. Apparently this man had deep dark secrets – ones she wanted very much for him to expose.
“That still doesn’t explain how you claim to have known I wouldn’t follow instructions.”
He moved his head toward the rearview mirror and then turned it to the front windshield. “I was an Army Ranger, a tracker to be exact. I’m trained to read people.” He turned and grinned. “I knew what you planned before you did.”
“Is that so?”
He simply nodded without hesitation, confidence oozing from every pore in his body. Oddly, the arrogance didn’t offend her. Instead, her mouth watered and her breasts tightened to the extent that she was sure her nipples might poke a hole in her blouse. She dabbed the corners of her mouth with her tongue. No sense letting him see her slobber all over him like a rabid dog.
“Okay then, O wise one, what do you suppose I’ll do next?”
He released another of those knee-weakening smirks and suddenly she wanted to kiss it off his face. Press her lips against his and nibble her way all around them until she literally swallowed him whole. As strong as she knew this man to be, there was absolutely no doubt in her mind that his kisses would be hard and dominating. In an attempt at self-control, she folded her arms across her chest and attempted to appear smug.
In what she dubbed an I’m-so-smooth manner, he changed lanes and then parked the vehicle next to a curb. “Now you’ll go inside your studio and explain to your assistant – Robert, if I remember correctly – why Mrs. Vanderbuilt’s painting wasn’t returned to your studio last night as planned.”
She turned and glanced out the passenger window at the scripted lettering on the building there. Treasure Me. Okay so he was exactly right.
She turned and raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you coming along?”
“I was under the impression you didn’t want a bodyguard.”
“I don’t.” She reached for the door handle and pulled, annoyed when the door wouldn’t budge.
When she lifted her gaze to his and frowned, he snickered and then the click of the locks sounded in the silence.
“Five minutes,” he said.
She opened the door, stepped out and then glanced back at him. “Ten,” she said as she slammed the door on any further response.

Unmasking Secrets to Unstoppable Relationships


Unmasking Secrets to Unstoppable Relationships

by, Lori Ann Davis




Unmasking Secrets to Unstoppable Relationships



My book, Unmasking Secrets to Unstoppable Relationships: How to Find, Keep and Renew Love and Passion in Your Life, will give you the power to create the relationship you deserve, the one you have always dreamed of. The book tackles the complicated topic of couple relationships in an easy-to-understand and follow style, and includes practical, do-able exercises. 

It is written primarily for women who want to proactively enhance their relationships, with or without the buy-in of their partners. It is also written for singles who want to understand what kind of relationship they are striving to build and how to go about doing so. Men reading the book can find value in it as well through gaining a better understanding of themselves and what is important to them. They will learn valuable information about how women think and what they want from men, as well as tools to better communicate with them. 

The title of the book came from my logo and tag line of my business. My logo is two hearts wearing masks. My tag line is Unmasking Secrets to Unstoppable Relationships because that is what I try to do. I give you the information and the tools to create an Unstoppable Relationship. What does that mean? It is a term I came up with to explain the stage of a relationship where there is a balance between friendship and passion. This is the ultimate goal of any intimate relationship. I believe that most people’s relationships stop short of this stage. I want you to have good communication, understand your partner’s needs, and have unstoppable love and passion. 

The four secrets in the book have come from my own experience as well as what I have learned from working with clients for over twenty-eight years. It is designed to be a road map for couples and singles who want better relationships. It is not just book knowledge but something I personally practice every day. The book contains excerpts from clients as well as my own stories of my struggles and successes in regard to relationships. There are many books written about relationships but I feel like mine in unique. Not only did I put my own experiences in the book, but I also have included what I believe are the key elements to any outstanding relationship. I tried to make the book user friendly and fun to read. I have given the reader specific exercises at the end of each section helping them put into practice the ideas they learned. If you follow the advice in this book, you can create an Unstoppable Relationship. This book gives you the power to create the kind of relationship you want to be part of.

I have started a companion book to this one. It will be written primarily for men helping them to understand what women want and need from relationships. It will give them lots of ideas to implement as well. I have been interviewing men and women collecting their ideas to be included in the book. I am very excited about this new project and hope to have it finished this summer. Between these two books, I hope to pave the way for men and women to understand each other better and have the tools they need to have amazing relationships.
