Ali Sweeney teams up with Generation Huggies!
Huggies is turning 30 and Ali Sweeney (Sami) has joined the party! She will be partnering with the company for their Generation Huggies Program, which seeks to learn what it means to be a mom and celebrate it. Sweeney, who is already a mom and has another baby on the way, was in New York City to welcome moms to the program and share her own special take on motherhood. Moms across America get their turn to speak too and those who didn't make it to a Generation Huggies event in October can still upload a 60-second video explaining what motherhood means to you at the Generation Huggies website. There will also be the opportunity to enter for a chance to win $30,000 in the Generation Huggies Sweepstakes. For more information on these events, and to enter the Sweepstakes, please go to the Generation Huggies website.
