DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-repairing wall dings

Guys, dads, men: have you ever gotten the wrong kind of milk? Your other half needs skim milk that usually has the red top, unless you go to a different store, which will have another color. Sometimes you’ll reach in the area where the red topped skim milk should be, but somebody else had put a pink topped no fat milk there instead.

Either of these situations can happen and it’s not your fault, you just weren’t paying attention. How does this milk parable parlay into a DIY project that is very basic? Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-repairing wall dings

Doctor Dad and the cyclopean Venus Flytrap toddler

One day Toodler Mojo decided to sleep late. Recently Toddler Mojo had been filled with mucus; the pack of snails had indeed bum rushed this helpless toddler and turned him into a slimy and angry little man. He needed to sleep late. However, upstairs my wife said, ‘sweetie, can you come up here?’

Guys know that tone of voice. That tone of voice either says, please come here and explain what you’ve done or there is a genuine problem here. Continue reading Doctor Dad and the cyclopean Venus Flytrap toddler

Daddy Mojo’s Weed Challenge-update

When we last saw our competitors, Round Up and Ortho, they were busy fighting weeds in different parts of a busy dad’s yard. Ortho was sprayed on the back porch and Round Up was sprayed in the front walk way.

It’s been almost two weeks and said busy dad hasn’t weeded the sprayed areas as he wants to see which one really kills weeds to the highest degree. Continue reading Daddy Mojo’s Weed Challenge-update

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Woodpecker damage to the house

For the second year in a row a tiny harbinger of spring has made an unwelcome call at the Mojo house. As a child I watched his exploits on television and found them quite amusing. However, as a dad I find them annoying and costly of time and money.

How did my love affair with the woodpecker fall out of flavor? Our last house had asbestos siding. If a woodpecker were looking for food there all they would be met with are millions of tiny fibers that would either kill the bird or cause them to sue us.

Dad hears Electrolytes but can only think Electro Woman

The other day Toddler Mojo didn’t have any mojo at all. He was cranky, yelling at everything and was unpleasant to be around. If he were 19 years old I would’ve told him to get his own apartment. However, as he’s 18 months old I knew that something was up with our growing Mojo. Continue reading Dad hears Electrolytes but can only think Electro Woman

Daddy Mojo’s Round Up challenge

And in this corner we have Round Up. They’ve got a massive marketing budget and they’re one of the most well known weed killers in the marketplace. The question that dads want to know is, does it really kill weeds and if so for how long? As with our other competitor, Ortho, they have a guarantee, but does that matter? Continue reading Daddy Mojo’s Round Up challenge

Why do 1 in 5 U.S. women have kids with more than one dad?

Dads I want to give you a pep talk. The involvement of a father can dramatically reduce the odds of a child from getting involved with substance abuse. Those kids also live in a safer home, are more physically active and stand a much greater change to avoid poverty. Go dads, you rock, well most of you rock. Continue reading Why do 1 in 5 U.S. women have kids with more than one dad?

Daddy Mojo’s Ortho Weed B Gon Max test

I like to mow the yard, as I suspect most dads do also. The results are immediate, it involves a noisy power tool and you get exercise at the same time. You also get that fabulous smell of cut grass. I don’t like to weed. Weeds are annoying and ugly, with some of them having those prickly things on the end for good measure. Continue reading Daddy Mojo’s Ortho Weed B Gon Max test
