Work, Life & Balance: Vanessa Roberts

August 24, 2011

Vanessa manages an office and her own home with the help of a flex time schedule, family pitching in and a perky attitude. Serious about creating a happy household and fond family memories, she takes care to make every moment spent with her daughters count by squelching daily frustrations and re-energizing with pedicures and pizza.

Kristi Valentini does whatever it takes, a diet heavy on chocolate and caffeine, Gregorian chants, whatever, to maintain inner peace among motherhood, career and the pursuit of domestic glory. Like other moms today, she strives for balance but makes do with a multi-tasking juggling act. Kristi began her blog, Mommy Crib Notes, to give other moms a "cheat sheet" of discoveries, tips and gadgets that can make parenthood easier. When not changing diapers or playing dolls with her two little beauties, Kristi is a marketing communications strategist and a freelance writer.
