Tips for successful consignment shopping

Fall is one of the biggest times of the year for consignment sales.  They’ll pop up at local churches, empty big box stores or other places and can save families of young children lots of money.  I’ve attended dozens of consignment sales, worked as a clothing picker for years, in addition to working at various places with large, tight crowds.  Continue reading Tips for successful consignment shopping

Kirby: Genesis Vol. 1, trade paperback-Review

I received the PDF for this graphic novel just over a month ago.  I read it in a couple of days and have procrastinated reviewing it because every time I opened it to review it I couldn’t stop reading or looking at the art.  Granted I’m somewhat easily distracted (look-a kitten!), but Genesis sucked me into an old school comic world I haven’t seen in a while.

September apps that will entertain Toddlers

We’re potty training Toddler Mojo now and that means spending lots of time on the toilet.  One method we’re using to help motivate him to stay longer on the toilet is to let him use the iPad when he’s there.  He calls the iPad his ‘Mickey Puter’, because his go-to app used to be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Last week he saw my Kindle Fire and said, “Daddy’s Mickey Puter”.

NextStep IP Baby Monitor: Review and Giveaway

At one of our baby showers a couple of years ago we were given a baby monitor.  It consisted of a base unit that may or may not transmit the sound coming from your baby’s room.   I used the phrase, may or may not, because it never worked for us.  After a while we unplugged it and left in the corner of a room where it still lays today.  It’s like the Island of Lost Toys for baby products that don’t work.

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Safe

Jason Statham movies need to be reviewed by an entirely separate grading system.  For the most part he plays a policeman/military guy who has been framed or had his family hurt.  When Statham steps out of that stereotype he can shine as an actor, for proof of that just look The Transporter, Italian Job and Bank Job.  Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Safe

Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures on Blu Ray-Giveaway

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the few movies that stops what we do in the house.  It’s a special bonus if it starts when the boys are asleep so that my wife and I can watch it together.  Continue reading Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures on Blu Ray-Giveaway

The weak men and women of The Week The Women Went

Last week I reviewed a new 5 episode series on Lifetime called The Week The Women Went.  As a television show it’s watchable, but very far from enjoyable. The concept behind the show is interesting, but in the end it’s just a mess.  It’s rare that commentary is done on Daddy Mojo, but being from the south and having been on reality TV, a voice of reason and logic needed to step in.  Continue reading The weak men and women of The Week The Women Went
