SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 16, 2006 – Widely-read and well-recognized mom blogger, Mindy Roberts, has released her long-awaited memoir and MothersClick.com (www.mothersclick.com) is proud to host the site’s first online book tour giving interested readers an opportunity to “meet” the author and purchase autographed copies of the book.

Mommy Confidential: Adventures from the Wonderbelly of Motherhood started out in 2002 as a sober online journal that documented the near-death of Mindy’s second child, but has evolved over the years into a hilarious diatribe centering around her chaotic life. As Mindy jokes, “It’s a sublime demi-glace reduction of the first several years of The Mommy Blog.” The book can also be described as a candid essay on the trials and tribulations of motherhood that many moms will relate to.

“It’s a stark, honest account of all the things I wish I knew about my own parents and my upbringing,” says Roberts. “And I hope that my descendants will be able to laugh with me and know that their crazy old Grandma Mindy was crazy-in-love with her family.”

By hosting this book tour and giving moms an opportunity to chat with the author online, MothersClick.com is providing another resource to further engage their community, and also encourage the participation of moms everywhere. “We are really excited to present this special event,” said Andra Davidson, president and co-founder of MothersClick.  “Mindy approaches the challenges of motherhood with great spirit and and healthy dose of humor. We can all use a little more of that.”

National magazines from Redbook to Parenting have picked The Mommy Blog as one of their favorite destinations to visit on the web. Corporate America has even taken notice of The Mommy Blog. As a mom expert, Mindy has also been called upon to consult with Fortune 500 companies such as Johnson& Johnson and The Disney Internet Group.
