Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

I came downstairs this morning and my wife asked me how to use the bike pump. I started laughing and then told her that this bike pump was sent from a dank, isolated place to torture us all. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head

We wanted a new shower head. The old one was gold plated, peeling and looked like it was from the 80s; and not the good 80s either, the bad 80s. Yup, the 80s’s had great moments, but this shower head was more like Saga than Pat Benetar and that’s not a good thing. Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head

A parent’s view on Skins and a la carte television stations

As the parent to a toddler who just figured out that they can turn on the television I say who’s up for a good discussion on whether Skins is really child porn? No? Ok, let’s engage in a debate over how the UK version of the show is much racier and the U.S. version is nothing, so us tight underwear Americans should chill out. Continue reading A parent’s view on Skins and a la carte television stations

Daddy Mojo reviews: Husky 20 Piece T-Handle Driver Set

Some products need to be reinvented or improved upon. A prime example of that are those curvy new light bulbs that are supposed to last 8 times longer. Yeah, we got some for the house, they light up just fine and I’ve reaffirmed my street cred with Captain Planet. We’ve seen these new screwdrivers in our local home improvement stores, but really, how can you improve on a screwdriver? Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: Husky 20 Piece T-Handle Driver Set

Daddy Mojo’s money saving tip: Parenting pet care co-op

I like to save money. You probably do too. Pets can really round out a family. The lessons that cats and dogs can teach our children add up to help shape them into young adults who don’t run and hide at the sight of a pet. I met an adult one time who was genuinely scared of cats, shaking, crying, the whole nine yards, THAT woman needed a pet growing up.

Tools that every dad needs

I love tools. It is my belief that every guy, especially every dad loves tools. We purchase tools that we really don’t need, I’m guilty of that. If you can use it once, in a justifiable manner, then it’s OK to buy. Really, it’s in the man bible, check out the audio version that Mike Rowe did, he gave us permission.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do: A new disposal

Certain sounds make the heart of men go down to their stomach. As a father, the ‘grind’ that your disposal makes when a foreign object is in there can present a fork in the road.

We heard that sound recently in the Mojo house. It was a tiny baby spoon that fell and was shredded into a thousand metallic pieces, we thought. After the first metal on metal sound, I stopped the disposal, realized that it was too far gone and made the disposal work for it’s money. Either grind it or die disposal, cause it’s all or nothing in this house. Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do: A new disposal

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do: A new Thermostat

Dads, moms and babies need to stay cool, keep warm or keep those HVAC bills under control. A nice programmable digital controller for your HVAC system can regulate temperatures day to day, as well as, specific times. Successfully programming your system can save you cash, which dads can then use for other important things like beer, pizza, video games or comic books.

When our HVAC system was inspected recently the technician told me that the thermostat was not working correctly. As this was the second time I had been told this, I knew that he was telling the truth. By nature, I don’t trust people selling me stuff, especially when its guy stuff that I feel like I should know.
