Last year I embarked on a project I called 57 in 52… attempting to complete 57 wonderful things in my 57th year in 52 weeks. I did it! I sky-dived, ran a half marathon, entered a baking contest, completed a Half Ironman, zip-lined, took pole dancing lessons, wrote a children’s book, winter surfed in New England, pogo-sticked in spike heels, [...]

Earth Month is something I have really embraced this year. I’m not the “greenest” mom in America… if you know me in “real life,” you know that. Since becoming a mother, I have absolutely tried to bring greener aspects into our life… I know it’s important for now and for the future. I absolutely love seeing my older sons toss [...]

Happy Earth Day! Today marks the last official day of Sylvania’s Earth Day Challenge – 40 for the Future. It has been a pretty amazing 40 days. I have been documenting our journey for the last 4 weeks… and truly cannot believe how far we’ve come. It’s been such a cool thing to participate in. On my last official update… [...]

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be on Lifetime’s morning show “The Balancing Act” tomorrow morning! The show airs between 7-8AM on Lifetime. Tune on it! I’ll be chatting about Scotties Facial… !! Don’t forget to Become a Fan (or LIKE) over at Scotties Facial on Facebook. For every new FAN in the month of April, Scotties is donating a [...]

Are you ready for some fabulous eco-chicness? I recently came across Bite… reusable produce bags are that extremely durable, transparent, machine washable (which I love!), and lightweight – not to mention, fabulously chic. Throughout the month of April I have been looking for some wonderful eco-friendly products to share, the reason Bite grabbed my attention was that I always hear [...]

I’ve been mentioning throughout the last couple of weeks that I’ve challenged my family to take the Sylvania Earth Day Challenge. It’s something I truly thought would actually be very challenging for us as a whole. I have been beyond pleasantly surprised to say it’s been quite the opposite. I’m even going to say it… it’s been FUN. My husband [...]

Sylvania’s Earth Day Challenge – 40 for the Future – is more than 1/2 way over… I have to say, we’re doing a pretty good job here in the McClelland household. Yesterday I got to shoot some video with my little man Henry (who is already doing a great job helping keep the lights off!) and showed some additional ways [...]

I’m continuing with my Sylvania Earth Day Challenge and still loving it! What I’ve loved most about blogging about this Challenge and in implementing energy-efficient actions at home is that it is totally keeping me accountable. I needed to have some sort of accountability to continue this challenge, and the best part is – the “little” things that I started [...]

In continuing the Sylvania Earth Day Challenge, I did something that I wasn’t sure how was going to go over too well with my sons. I hid their video game console. They love playing video games in the afternoon. They sit on the couch, with the lights on… TV on… and video console on. Talk about wasting electricity! I didn’t [...]

Last week I announced that I have partnered with Scotties Facial Tissues. I am so very excited about this because I think this is an amazing company, doing amazing things. What’s so amazing? Well, I have to say… I definitely group myself into the majority of moms who look for what I call “low hanging fruit” when it comes to [...]
