Daddy Mojo

Mommy Mojo says, Publix- Not your ordinary grocery store

Going into Publix, it’s pretty much standard fare. You grab your cart, and you start working through your shopping list. Most people think of grocery shopping as another chore; something you do as quickly as possible to get on with your life. There are three areas that make Publix excel: their Customer Service, Pharmacy and Entertainment. When I stroll in with my toddler on Saturday mornings, I get a message: Pay it forward.

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

Papa’s got a brand new (diaper) bag

We love our pets in the Mojo house. I had two cats and two dogs, then one wife and now one child. At any point in time the animals have always outnumbered the people. All of the animals have adapted well to Toddler Mojo stumbling around the room like a pint sized Frankenstein. The cats have learned to hide in high places and the dogs have peacefully learned to sit near him when he has food. Continue reading Papa’s got a brand new (diaper) bag

A Dad channels Indiana Jones to purchase a Kate Spade purse

Remember the scene from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade where Indy enters the chamber of the ancient knight? Indy looks around at all of the cups, grabs one of them and then drinks a gulp of water before killing all the Nazis. I had to buy a purse for my wife and it was like that, except there were no Nazis and I didn’t get to meet an ancient knight; although the cashier was a good bit older than me. Continue reading A Dad channels Indiana Jones to purchase a Kate Spade purse

Dad spends a night in the man cave: With a vengeance

It was a bonus night in the man cave for dad tonight. Mom had to attend a birthday party for a child and dad got to put Toddler Mojo to bed. In our eyes we drew the long straw because that meant that we could rent a man cave movie.

We had wanted to see Predators for a while; it’s a great character that was maligned through a series of alien mash ups and hammy acting by Danny Glover. The first Predator was great. It’s a classic that is arguably Arnold’s best movie. Considering that most of his movies stink up a sulfur plant that is saying something.
