Share Your Breakfast Reminder & Recap

So, remember when I shared my breakfast with you the other day? And told you how you could share yours, too?  AND invited you to a Virtual Breakfast to learn more?  How could you forget!?  Well, in case you were unable to attend the Virtual Breakfast, I have a recap for you, put together by the wonderful ladies at TheMotherhood.com.  We chatted with Trinh Le, Senior Brand Manager at Kellogg’s and Dr. Reginald Washington, chair of the board of Action for Healthy Kids,  about how to Share Your Breakfast and help give to school breakfast programs.

Here’s the breakfast I shared yesterday:

As I mentioned in my earlier post, my Sophie gets her breakfast at school – as does every child at her school- and I think it’s a great program to ensure that each child gets the food they need to start their mornings out right so their brains can be ready to LEARN!  Here are some more details about how easy it is to Share Your Breakfast!  For each breakfast shared, Kellogg’s will donate the monetary equivalent of one school breakfast to Action for Healthy Kids!

Option 1: Online with photo
– Head over to http://www.shareyourbreakfast.com
– Find the upload station in the yellow band and click ‘browse’ to find your photo (You can also click the link to take a photo with your webcam!)
– Be sure that your photo is a JPG or PNG file, that it’s no more than 3MB and that no recognizable logos are included
– Fill out all the information, agree to terms and click ‘upload’!

Option 2: Online with no photo
– Head over to http://www.shareyourbreakfast.com
– Find the upload station in the yellow band and type in a description of your breakfast in the box provided
– Fill out all the information, agree to terms and click ‘upload’!

Option 3: Text message
– Text the word SHARE with a photo or description of your breakfast to 21534
– Be sure that your photo does not include any recognizable logos.
– Message and data rates may apply. See your carrier for details.

March 8th is National Breakfast Day, so Kellogg’s is even allowing us to share our breakfasts on Twitter on March 8th ONLY!  Woooo! Here’s how to do that TOMORROW, March 8th – just share a photo or description on Twitter using the #ShareUrBreakfast hashtag.

Please note: your shared breakfast doesn’t have to be a Kellogg’s product.  It can even just be a cup of coffee!

You can view the whole talk and watch the video with Trinh Le and Dr. Washington at this link here.

This is such an important program because 17 million children in our country live in food-insecure households.  That means they aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from.  Helping them get breakfast, in addition to lunch at school is a lifeline to these kids.

You can share your breakfast once a day, every day until July 31st.  It’s so easy to do and makes a HUGE difference!  Please join me in sharing your breakfast as often as you can!
