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.

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.

You click on a link that votes for said Dad Blog and only the Top 25 Dad Blogs remain. It’s kind of like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Circle of Moms is playing the Tina Turner part.

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.

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.

Mattel’s Clawdeen Wolf doll causes concern for parents

Toddler Mojo learned that he can close his eyes without going to sleep. He’s started squinting, then laughing, squinting his eyes, closing them and then falling on the floor laughing with his eyes closed. Some news stories make us want to close our eyes and this is one of them.

Clawdeen Wolf is a new entry in Mattel’s hugely popular Monster High doll line. Clawdeen Wolf looks like a stripper, granted that’s not too different from the Bratz dolls. Continue reading Mattel’s Clawdeen Wolf doll causes concern for parents
