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.

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.

Daddy Mojo reviews: LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Alphabet Set

We’re a little hesitant to embrace some educational toys.  Call us a little gun shy, but it seems like some manufacturers will slap the alphabet on a toy, call it educational and then watch parent purchase it.  A friend of ours gave us the heads up on LeapFrog’s Fridge Phonics.

Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved

Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved sounds like a challenge akin to a camel fitting through the eye of a needle.  Husbands who (mistakenly) attended one of their wedding showers may be under the impression that baby showers are as fraught with dangerously laced estrogen. Continue reading Baby shower gift ideas to get the Dad involved

Australian bullying wrap up and tough love from dad

It bothers me when a youth does something criminal and then the media talk to the neighbors or parents.  “Well, they were such a nice young child, it just doesn’t seem like something that they would do”, the parent would say.  It doesn’t matter the crime, the statement from the parent is always the same.

That is the part that bothers me.  The parent saying such a stereotypical halfhearted non apology doesn’t’ do anything to help the youth, victim or family.  I’ve long waited for a parent to step up and say something along the lines of ‘my child screwed up and they’ll pay the consequences’.   A dad in Ipswich, Australia has just done the next best thing by driving them to the police station after he caught his two children bullying a younger one.
