Pregnancy week 33-Moms, you’re hungry, yet repulsed by food

Moms, it’s just over one month before you’re greeted by your son or daughter. Put another way it’s just over 14 years away before you have to say “You’re not leaving the house like that are you”? Based on some fashion trends it may even be eight years before you have to say that. Continue reading Pregnancy week 33-Moms, you’re hungry, yet repulsed by food

Can the Brother P-Touch Ambassador Program help Mojo’s garage?

At one point in my life I was a messy, disaster of a man. I’ve written here how I once had to clean my house with a leaf blower. One would think that such a public (and noisy) display of messiness would convince me to clean up my act and to an extent that is correct. On the positive side, I’ve never had to clean the house with a leaf blower again, but certain areas of the house, namely the garage and office, are in constant need of organization and a clean-up.

Daddy Mojo reads: Fox and Hen Together by Beatrice Rodriguez

Earlier this year we reviewed a very charming book called The Chicken Thief. It’s a wordless book that tells the story of a fox, a hen and their forbidden love affair. Of course any book that has a happy ending, what with the fox and the hen living together, has a high likelihood of producing a sequel.

A Dad’s primer on Pre Kindergarten

The other day I was hanging out with some other parents talking about Toddler Mojo going to pre-K. I mentioned something casually and a friend said, “How many days is your child going to Pre K”? Well five, of course, kids go to school five days a week everybody knows that. It was then that I realized I needed to get up to speed ASAP on pre- K.

Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

Pregnant ladies in the house, you’re all those things and a bag of chips. I’m kidding about the bag of chips because that may be one of the few things you don’t have a craving for. If you are craving a bag of chips then you can use another tired 90’s cliché like ‘talk to the hand’ or ‘don’t go there!’. Continue reading Pregnancy week 32-Moms, you’re large, hot, tired and short

DIY a stay at home dad can do-install a new roof

‘I didn’t know Mojo was a roofer’, some of you may be pondering. Well, I’m not and roofing is a big time home repair that you will not attempt, unless you have a roofing company. Instead this is a cautionary tale of what to look for in a roofing company and the story of a good roof gone bad. Continue reading DIY a stay at home dad can do-install a new roof

Daddy Mojo reads: The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark

For people outside of Atlanta the name Ron Clark may solely be regulated to a television movie in 2006 that told the story of Clarks teaching experience in New York City. Ron Clark was Disney’s American Teacher of the Year in 2000 and has appeared on Oprah, CNN, The Today Show and others. In 2008 the Ron Clark Academy, a private school for students in grades 5-8, opened on the south side of Atlanta. In short, Ron Clark is the teacher that everybody wants to have for one reason or another. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads: The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark

The dirty little secret of a stay at home dad

My wife and I used to try to do it once a week. That was the goal. However, as with any family with an infant or toddler can attest, sometimes the time just gets away from you. Now we’re lucky if we get around to it twice a month. When we finally get down to business, it sometimes smells and you need a brush to clean the surface. We just have to clean our toilet more often.
