Professional Summary

Mindy Roberts is a transplanted Chicagoan living in the Bay Area with her three native children. She has ridden the bounty and collapse of the Silicon Valley high-tech industry, and is enjoying gainful re-employment after a long career in the nonprofit sector. On the up side, she still has a portion of her sanity and is in love with a chef, writer, teacher and photographer. Mindy is writing her family's memoirs as they go along. She loves her children fiercely, lives and breathes technology, and tries her best to use her powers for good.

Melinda spent twelve years as a mild-mannered non-profit employee. In 2002, after the birth of her third child in four years, she began to write about her life and children in the sleepless hours in an effort to capture her young family's world in real time. This chronicle of her family's adventures and mishaps through a chaotic period of marital, emotional, and financial strife has just been adapted to Mindy's first book, Mommy Confidential: Adventures From the Wonder-belly of Motherhood.

Mindy Roberts is author of The Mommy Blog and a contributer to online parenting communities such as Gather.com, MomBlogNetwork.com, Mothersclick.com, and WorkItMom.com. She has also published a book called Mommy Confidential: Adventures from the Wonderbelly of Motherhood, revealing "the truly tender, life-altering, and heartbreaking moments of motherhood in a way that no other book on the subject does.

"Roberts is not just funny ha-ha. She's I-can't-breathe-I'm-laughing- so-hard funny." —A. Sydow
