Perdue Frozen Chicken Nuggets Review and Giveaway—CLOSED

We always try to give our kids the best we can. Sometimes our busy schedule doesn’t allow the meal we were hoping to prepare. One thing I know, my boys love chicken nuggets. Some chicken nuggets are…well you really have to wonder what’s in them.

As a member of SheSpeaks.com I had the opportunity to review Perdue Frozen Chicken Nuggets.

My kids were super excited about this. Any excuse to have chicken nuggets. Perdue frozen chicken nuggets are made of 100% natural ingredients and only white meat. We also got a neat little silicone baking tray. I have to admit I have never tried silicone bakeware before but it was very easy to clean.

I received a coupon for a free bag from SheSpeaks.com and Perdue. My kids wanted the popcorn chicken that’s pictured above. I loved this popcorn chicken. It was very flavorful and juicy. I don’t always enjoy chicken nugget dinners but this was an exception.

I always just serve my chicken nuggets to them the way they are with maybe a side of veggies and potatoes.

How do you serve your chicken nuggets?

Review: Tooth Tissues

I know that cleaning a babies gums and teeth are important but it is really hard sometimes. When all my sons were first born the nurses told me that I should wipe their mouth out at least once a day with a damp wash cloth. While I understood how that could be sufficient with their little gums and mouth I didn’t know how it really helped when they started to get their teeth. My youngest is now 16 months old. I try using a toddler tooth brush and the baby tooth and gum cleaner for his 8 little teeth but he tends to grab it and wanna play with the toothbrush.

When I had the opportunity to review Tooth Tissues, I was very interested.

They are recommended up to 16 months old so my son just made the cut off. Tooth Tissues are small thin clothes that are made to be usd as dental wipes for babies and toddlers. The packet contains 30 wipes. They are Flouride, and paraben free. They are also 99% Natural. They were created by dentists who are also parents themselves. They have a unique texture that helps with plaque removal.

While it was tricky because my son tends to want to bite down while cleaning I was able to get it and feel i did a good job cleaning his back gums and tongue while I was in there. I able to wipe the front of his 8 teeth pretty well also.

Where to buy: You can look on their site at the Where to buy section or you can order from their website: www.toothtissues.com

Review Summary: There would be great for a small baby. It’s still a little bit of a job with a toddler but they are convenient and great for travel. It seemed I got more accomplished with these then with the tooth brush and gum cleaner.

***I received a packet of tooth tissues for free for the purpose of a review. I was under no obligation to give a positive review. Any opinions expressed are my own. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post***

Review: Whirl-A-Style

As I’ve mentioned in a few of my hair related post, I can’t do anything with my hair. I’m honestly, lucky if I can get my hair into a straight pony tail. I like my hair long but working in a hospital requires me to put my hair up. (You never know what your hair might get into, yuck).

I was granted the opportunity to review “Whirl-A-Style“. There are different sizes of the Whirl-A-Style depending on your hair length, to help you create the perfect bun and other cool hair styles.

One of the reasons I get so frustrated with my hair is that nothing seems to want to stay in it. My hair is straight and thick. Hair bands, head bands without teeth, clips, etc all seem to just slide right out of my hair. Curls never stay even with hair spray. I loved the fact that the “Whirl-A-Style” is made with a flexible rubber. It has an easy to use pop in snap that’s easy to fasten without seeing it.

I used it to put my hair up for work. This was my first attempt at using the Whirl-A-Style and as I mentioned my hair styling skills are minimal at best.

I know it’s not the best job I could have done. I think perhaps I should have done with a smaller “Whirl-A-Style” The problem I ran into was that, the last time I had my hair cut, I did one of those hair cuts where it’s shorter in the back and long and angled toward the front. What I can say is that my hair stayed up all day at work. It didn’t even slip a little bit. It was very easy to use.

I had my friend try it then. Her hair is much longer than mine. I wanted to see how it would like using the Whirl-A-Style I received on a more appropriate hair length. Her’s turned out much cuter.

Review Summary: The Whirl-A-Style works great if you ensure you buy the correct size. I love the fact that it’s made of flexible rubber. It keeps it from slipping and is also comfortable to wear.

You can purchase them on the Whirl-A-Style website OR locate a store near you.

You can also find them on amazon.com
