Melinda Roberts is a transplanted Chicagoan living in the Bay Area with her three native children. She lives and breathes technology, and tries her best to use her powers for good. She owns TheMommyBlog.net, PearSoup.Com, Wonderbelly.com, and the forthcoming PearSoupPartyPages.com. She is also Blogger in Chief at MomBlogNetwork.com.
Mindy spent twelve years as a mild-mannered nonprofit 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 is retold in her first book, Mommy Confidential: Adventures From the Wonderbelly of Motherhood.
Witty, sarcastic, and always engaging, Mindy chronicles her life, and that of her children. She tackles the good and the bad with a broad stroke and a sense of humor that give her writing depth and an emotional pull.
