Springpad Streamlines Thanksgiving Planning (w. Breville giveaway)

November 8, 2012 By Leticia

If you find inspiration all around you, it can sometimes be difficult to organize your ideas especially as you plan your family’s Thanksgiving feast. I know that I’ve been marking pages in cooking catalogs from Williams Sonoma, Penzey’s Spices, and King Arthur Flour for ingredients to order, tearing recipes from favorite magazines, while pinning delectable recipes from around the web on my Pinterest Thanksgiving board. I’m an all around Thanksgiving mess but I’m starting to streamline my Thanksgiving thanks to Springpad.

I learned about Springpad long ago but just started using it to create my  Kid-Friendly Thanksgiving notebook where I’ve included some fun Thanksgiving themed crafts and apps.

Springpad is an amazing way to save, share and act on what’s important to you. It allows you to create notebooks for recipes, books, movies or anything else that matters to you. They can be private or collaborative. Springpad enables you to save ideas and info from anywhere and access them on your smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. Springpad is available for free on iOS, Android and the Web and works seamlessly across all three.

Springpad and Breville are teaming up to help you organize your Thanksgiving with the Organize Your Thanksgiving Contest.

Here’s how to enter in 3 easy steps:  

  1. Create a Springpad notebook of your favorite recipes, entertaining idea, decorating tips and more. Get creative!
  2. Tag your notebook with #Turkey2012 to enter it in the Organize Your Thanksgiving Contest.
  3. Share your notebook with your friends and family through Facebook, Twitter or email. With Springpad’s new Facebook Like integration, your friends don’t need to have a Springpad account to Like your notebook! The three notebooks with the most Facebook Likes and Springpad Follows win a Breville Countertop Smart Oven!

Here’s how you win the Breville countertop oven:

  1. The three notebooks with the most cumulative Facebook Likes and Springpad Follows will win a Breville Countertop Smart Oven!
  2. Your friends and family can vote twice by both following AND liking your notebook.

Please note that the above contest is being held by Springpad and Breville. The contest will close at 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 15, 2012. Winners will be announced on the Springpad Facebook Page on Friday, November 16, 2012.

Springpad and Breville have also offered an immersion blender for me to giveaway to one Tech Savvy Mama reader!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
