I know there has been a lot of negative press about chicken nuggets this year but I believe you just need to choose your chicken nuggets wisely.

The PERDUE® Whole Grain product line includes breaded chicken breast nuggets, tenders and strips. These products are made of PERDUE® Premium All White Chicken with Whole Grain Breading.

PERDUE® Whole Grain chicken products are packaged in easy-open and close zipper bags so you can use what you need and save the rest for later. These products are a convenient meal or snack option that are both nutritious and delicious.  The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend that all Americans make half or more of their grains, whole grains. Each Whole Grain PERDUE® product features the Whole Grains Council’s Stamp indicating that each serving provides at least one half-serving (8g) of whole grains.

Now that back-to-school time is here and every mom’s schedule is getting filled up with after school activities taking time for family meals has never been more important. To encourage families to make meal time fun, Perdue and Crayola are hosting a national contest encouraging families to enter an original picture of how they bring fun to the dinner table for a chance to win valuable prizes including a cruise package, a year’s supply of PERDUE® Frozen Fully Cooked Chicken and a prize pack of Crayola and PERDUE® products. To enter the contest go to PerdueFamilyFun.com.

For even more fun, join us at a #Perdue Twitter Party tomorrow night, Friday, September 10th at 9:00pm EDT. To RSVP for the party click here. I’ll see you at the party!

Disclaimer: I received a full value coupon so my family could sample the chicken nuggets for the purpose of this review.

Yes, I just said there were awesome prizes, there always are at Amy’s parties. The grand prize is a Power Wheels A.T. Rex with Monster Traction! Other prizes include a Banzai Titan Blast Rocket, Banzai Skimboard Surfer and Banzai 3-D Sharkbite Water Slide!

Today we got to play with the Banzai Skimboard Surfer. Ok, I watched while my son Aaron and his friends, Kenny and Kyle played. The Banzai Skimboard Surfer is for ages 8 and up, Aaron & Kenny are 16 and Kyle is 13. Check out our video.

It took us about 30 minutes to set up the Banzai Skimboard Surfer. You need to find a flat grassy area to use this on. We actually went to a play yard at our church. We thought the area was flat but once we got all set up we realized there were actually 2 raised areas that made it a little difficult. All 3 boys had a lot of fun. They played for over an hour, and would have played longer if it wasn’t 5pm. The boys all agreed they will have a lot of fun using this over the summer. Their skill increased as the time went along and I’m sure with more practice they will get even better. We think we have enough flat grassy area in our front yard that we can try it at home next time.

Make sure you RSVP for the sitewarming tomorrow (Friday, May 1st) so that you can try to win your own Banzai Skimboard Surfer. If you have never attended a Twitter party before I suggest signing into http://tweetgrid.com, click on party in the top navigation bar, the hashtag is #outdoorplay, the hosts are @resourcefulmom, @JimSilver and @TheToyGuy, fill in your Twitter username and the hold on tight and do your best to follow along! If you have any questions during the party feel free to send me a message to @MomMaven and I’ll give you a hand.
