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.

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.

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. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Alphabet Set

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.
