Audrey is a mom of 4 boys under 4. She is married to her college sweetheart, and lives in Rhode Island with her family. She graduated from Brown University with a degree in Theatre Arts, with a strength in public speaking. She reads fashion magazines like they are going out of style… which of course, she knows they never will!
In 2005, after working for Donna Karan International in New York City for six years, McClelland returned to her home state of Rhode Island and co-founded the site MomGenerations.com, a go-to resource for the entire family, with her mom, Sharon Couto, and her sister, Jane Couto Porricelli.
McClelland is one of Walmart’s Elevenmoms, a group of mom bloggers who help Walmart in its Social Media efforts. She also is on the Playskool Parents Play Panel, consulting the Playskool team in Social Media.
McClelland co-wrote Preconception Plain & Simple - A Deliciously Smart and Sexy Guide in Preparing for Pregnancy with her mom, and has contributed articles to Conceive Magazine. She has appeared in segments on ABC’s 20/20, Fox News Boston and CBS Boston News. She also has been featured in Woman’s World Magazine, Men’s Health Magazine, Pregnancy Magazine, The Providence Journal and Redbook Magazine
Drawing on her background/inspiration in fashion (and college classes), each Friday night Audrey hosts a BlogTalkRadio.com show called “Feel Good Fashion,” as well as a LIVE MomTV.com video stream show on Sunday nights called “Audrey’s Fashion Sense.” She contributes weekly to the Blissful Style channel on BlissfullyDomestic.com. On January 1, 2009, she launched her now-popular series called “365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms,” offering one piece of fashion and/or beauty advice each day, either through a blog post or a vlog.
One great achievement is that Audrey was recently named one of the most powerful moms on the internet, listed in “The Power Pack” by Nielson Online.
Audrey also has been a featured speaker/panelist at Jeff Pulver’s SocComm event in New York City, speaking on “Being a Mom in the Digital Social Evolution,” and will be speaking on the topic of “Moms on Twitter” at Pulver’s 140 Characters conference in June 2009. She was recently featured in Huggies’ “30 Moms, 30 Generations” online video campaign, and is also a Johnson & Johnson “Real Moms” vlogger on the J&J Health Channel on YouTube.
Audrey’s social media expertise has been recognized in her home state of Rhode Island as well. She is one of the Senior Counselors of Social Media at The Perry Group, a public relations company, and Rhode Island Monthly’s June issue listed her as one of the most Powerful Twitterers in the state of Rhode Island (ranking 4th).
Her greatest accomplishment, though, is her marriage and her 4 little boys. It’s because of them that her influence in the social media world, with moms in particular, has shaped both her life and career.

I’m sorry. Did you say that you can find a pair of Manolo Blanhiks for $50. Do share. That kind of information could save a marriage.

I love that you drank coffee since you were 5. My son already takes occasional sips from mine, and he’s only 16 mos. old. Don’t worry though, I don’t think I’ll let him have more until he’s 5 or so, and even then, totally de-caf!
