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 being green. I love it when a company makes it easy for me, the consumer. As a busy mom, I do the best I can in the green department, so having a company understand the needs and wants of a mom is wonderful, and it’s wonderful that Scotties has a product that’s easy for me to stand behind.

Scotties goes beyond creating a luscious, soft tissue at a great value. Scotties thinks about the earth. On every Scotties box you’ll see their Tree Planting Promise. Scotties plants 3 trees for every 1 they use. It’s their commitment to the environment… they’re committing today for a better tomorrow. Scotties is part of the Irving family of companies, and this is a family who has planted over 800 million trees in the last 50 years! It’s pretty incredible.

One other thing I discovered about Scotties is the Scotties ReLeaf program. This is something every mother will love because it’s such a wonderful program for children. The Scotties ReLeaf program partners with schools to educate students about the benefits and importance of tree planting. After the kids learn about the importance in the classroom, they are then assigned a community tree planting. I love the fact that the kids are getting the education… and then get to go out and do the planting. In 2010, Scotties is going to be in Charlotte, Baltimore, Boston and Miami. So if you’re a teacher or a community leader, you’re definitely going to want to learn more about being part of these events!

I just love what Scotties is doing and how they’re really committed to playing a positive role in the environment, and teaching others how to do so, too. You can learn more about Scotties and also get a valuable trial offer on a flat, cube or (my fave!) family size box of tissues at Scotties Facial.

AND! In honor of Earth Month… for every new fan that Scotties gets on Facebook during the month of April, they will be donating $1 to ReLeaf USA (up to $10,000). Tell your friends!

**Also!! I’m VERY excited to announce that I will be on Lifetime’s The Balancing Act on April 22nd, talking about why Scotties is such a fabulous choice for moms!! TUNE IN!**
