My wife on NBC Nightly News about being the breadwinner

I am a stay at home dad. Our family is allowed to have me stay at home with the children because my wife earned much more money than I when we started having children. When the Pew Research study about women breadwinners came out she was featured on NBC Nightly News. This is Daddy Mojo 101, how it came to be and video footage of the kids from NBC.

The BMW Maclaren Buggy review

So a couple of months ago I was sent the BMW Maclaren Buggy to review. We have two children, one 20 month old and one 3.75 YO. One of them can’t walk too long without bumping into something and the other one sometimes just likes to be pushed around like Ben-Hur. The BMW Maclaren Buggy is perfect for both of them and for the parent who happens to be pushing them, let’s take a look. Continue reading The BMW Maclaren Buggy review

Because I’m Your Dad is charming, silly and full of love-Giveaway too

Father’s Day is just around the corner. Because I’m Your Dad is not exclusively a Father’s Day book per se, but it is about a dad’s bond with his child, or in this case his monster. Continue reading Because I’m Your Dad is charming, silly and full of love-Giveaway too

A look at some of the Iron Man 3 toys

So now that you and your kiddo have seen Iron Man 3 they may be talking about which toys they want. The folks over at Hasbro sent us a couple of the new Iron Man 3 toys to play with and wreck havoc on lesser toys in casa de Mojo. All three toys have their moments, but two of them stand out as much more playable. Continue reading A look at some of the Iron Man 3 toys

Book review: The Spark, A mother’s story of Nurturing Genius

This is a book that I accidentally read. How does one ‘accidentally’ read a book? You scan over the title, read the synopsis, pick out words that you’re interested in and ignore the rest. In my case I read “mom-nurturing-genius”. Well I want my child to be as smart as he can possible be, this is a book I must read. In reality, and thankfully, The Spark is not the book I thought it was; it’s much better, uplifting, inspirational and all but mandatory for parents of autistic children. Continue reading Book review: The Spark, A mother’s story of Nurturing Genius

Fraggle Rock celebrates 30 years of rocking the felt cloth on DVD

Everyone in this house is a huge Jim Henson fan. I say Jim Henson fan instead of Muppet fan because his fingerprints are on all of his creations. You can tell it in Sesame Street, The Muppets, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. It’s Jim Henson’s creativity that is geared to certain audiences. Continue reading Fraggle Rock celebrates 30 years of rocking the felt cloth on DVD

The moment when a child knows what you’re thinking

Children are a fabulous, compact, confusing version of us. What they see and do may not immediately be proof of them being from you. Stop for a moment, twist what they’re saying, pronounce it like Urkel from Family Matters would and you just might understand what they’re trying to tell you. Continue reading The moment when a child knows what you’re thinking

David Carter’s 100-a fun, rabbit hole way to learn counting

Our 3.5 year old is just learning how to count past 20. He immediately liked David Carter’s 100 when he saw the book because of the crisp, bright illustrations. I didn’t realize how good the book was though until our 8 year old niece came over and started to look through the book. Continue reading David Carter’s 100-a fun, rabbit hole way to learn counting
