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

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. Continue reading Mommy Mojo says, Publix- Not your ordinary grocery store

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
