Meet Audrey McClelland from Mom Generations



Me: What is your blogs name and what is it about?
Audrey: MomGenerations.com – I focus on Fashion Advice for Moms


Me: What do you think about the new Mommy Blogger title changing to Digital Mommy?
Audrey: I love it! I think it truly captures what the “modern” blogging mom is about – we’ve embraced the Digital World!


Me: What kind of cell phone do you own?
Audrey: I have 2 cells – iPhone and Blackberry


Me: What do you use your cell phone for besides talking on?
Audrey: I use my phones for texting, Twitter and internet surfing


Me: What is your favorite social media website?
Audrey: Twitter


Me: What are the three blogs you read on a consistent basis?
Audrey: Fashion Tribes, Celebrity Babies, A Cowboy’s Wife


Me: Do you shop online? If so, what are your favorite online stores?
Audrey: Oh goodness! Tough one for me b/c I love so many – but my favorites for online shopping – Victoria’s Secret, Lands’ End, GAP and Nordstrom.


Me: What is your online schedule like on a typical day?
Audrey: I’m honestly online all day – connected someway, somehow. My downtimes are usually from 3-8PM when the kids are home and just want to play and have some fun.


Me: What blogger do you feel you have learned the most from?
Audrey: Colleen from ClassyMommy.com


Me: What is the one piece of advice you would give to a mom that is just starting out in the blogging world?
Audrey: I would say to be honest, be open and engage with other bloggers. There’s something to be said for engagement.


Me: You seem to know a great deal about fashion! Did you work in retail? If so, where did you work and what did you do?
Audrey: I never worked in retail. I actually worked on the corporate side of the fashion world. I worked for Donna Karan International for 6 years. Starting as her personal assistant and moving through to company. My last position there was in the Shoe/Accessories division. Loved it! Learned so much from working with these creative geniuses!


Me: Do you ever feel like getting back to the 9 to 5 work day?
Audrey: No. Not one single day. I love that I can be home with my 4 sons and work right from my laptop. So many people (even family members!) have told me that I work WAY more than 40 hours a week on my laptop – but – for me the difference is, I LOVE what I’m doing.


Me: How do you balance your online life and your offline life? (or do you?)
Audrey: I try to balance it as best as I can. I still struggle with it. I try and take hours at a time off – or, at least – away from the computer. But with this social media world comes 24/7 access to everyone and everything.


Me: What kind of car do you drive? What are your favorite features?
Audrey: I drive a Chevy Uplander. I love that it fits us comfortably. My main attraction to it.


Me: Do you make money with your blog?
Audrey: Yes, I am making money with my blog.


Me: What gadget are you crushing on at the moment?
Audrey: Hmmm… I would have to say this Heart Rate Monitor watch that I just bought. I love it!


Me: Why do you think you influence so many people?
Audrey: I think with my blog – in giving fashion advice – it’s nice for moms to get different perspectives and ideas on outfits and styles and trends. We all deserve to look and feel beautiful, I just want to be able to share some tips to help women. I must say – I have a BLAST doing it! So much fun.


Me: What projects/events/contests do you have going on that you’d like everyone to know about?


Audrey: We’re having a giveaway right now called Dive into Summer with Huggies and Juicy Juice. We’re giving away 3 beach bags filled with summer essentials for the beach – the bags (with everything included) retail for over $100.00!


Me: Do you feel like your kid/ kids watch too much TV?
Audrey: Probably! I have been very conscious as a parent not to let the TV turn into a babysitter. But, I’m sure… compared to statistics and data out there that they watch too much. Along those same lines, we try and bring reading and as much learning into their lives as we can on a daily basis.


Me: What talk show host or news anchor would you love to be interviewed by?
Audrey: Oh… I would LOVE to be interviewed by Meredith Viera! She’s a Rhode Island girl, too!
