As a stay-at-home dad who does the shopping, cooking and cleaning; I want to do whatever I can to make my time and family budget work as efficiently as possible. A couple months ago I started using a new product from Scrubbing Bubbles that is supposed to all but eliminate the need for a toilet brush. The manufacturer didn’t ask me to write this up. Occasionally, I’ll write reviews on products that may or may not be helpful to busy households. Continue reading Dad tries One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner by Scrubbing Bubbles

Daddy Mojo reviews: Febreeze Set & Refresh

In a kitchen drawer we have several air fresheners that you plug into an electrical outlet. We also have a couple of the free standing ones that look like a white 4” traffic cone. The ones that required an outlet were too obvious or obstructed the outlet; while the free standing ones lost their scent and needed to be thrown away, oops.

A visit to Alliance Theatre to see Theatre for the Very Young

The attention span of a toddler is tougher to navigate than the mood cycles of woman who’s eight months pregnant. If you plan things poorly then you’ll be up against nap time.

Daddy Mojo reads: Fox and Hen Together by Beatrice Rodriguez

Earlier this year we reviewed a very charming book called The Chicken Thief. It’s a wordless book that tells the story of a fox, a hen and their forbidden love affair. Of course any book that has a happy ending, what with the fox and the hen living together, has a high likelihood of producing a sequel.
