A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler

The 17month old toddler is a magical, highly excitable creature that still has trouble communicating to mom and dad. While the toddler’s point gets made, it lacks a certain finesse. In observing our toddler we’ve determined that a 17 month old has three forms of verbal communication: Chinese Baby, Bobcat Goldwaite and The Singing Frog, Continue reading A dad and the communication stages of the Toddler

Dad spends a night in the Man Cave

I love my wife but sometimes a guy needs to be a guy, hole up in his man cave and just watch some television. In my case my man cave is the living room, which can still have aspects of estrogen, especially around the holidays. I’m thankful now that we’re verging on St. Patrick’s Day and the quite feminine Easter decorations haven’t come out yet, this way I can pretend it’s a man cave.

Massive children’s consignment sale in Roswell this weekend

We are big fans of buying used. It’s good for the environment and helps us remain frugal with our limited supply of cash.

We’re also pumped about our favorite consignment sale of the year happening this weekend. It’s the bi-annual Second Childhood Consignment at 1425 Market Boulevard, Roswell, GA, 30076 in the old Comp USA location.

Big Book Bargains in the Atlanta Burbs

I love books. Because of that it’s not too surprising that Baby Mojo loves books. At bedtime either mom or I will read a book to him, then leave his bed light on while he sits in his crib and reads himself to sleep. When we go into to change his diaper later in the night it looks like the Book Town mafia shot down our son with an outline of cardboard children’s books. Continue reading Big Book Bargains in the Atlanta Burbs

As a parent, should you advise other parents?

Nobody likes people who butt into their business. They offer suggestions and voice their opinions when we may not want or need them. This can be especially true when it comes to parents and the style or manner in which they raise their children.

We encountered two situations recently where we didn’t say anything, but left possibly wishing that we should have.

Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

I came downstairs this morning and my wife asked me how to use the bike pump. I started laughing and then told her that this bike pump was sent from a dank, isolated place to torture us all. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: the Schwinn AirDriver 1100 floor pump

Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!

The many benefits of cold weather are skiing, snowboarding and blue horizons pierced by pine trees that challenge the sky for height. Alas, if you’re a mom or dad who doesn’t happen to live in Colorado, then cold weather means runny noses, sick children and a yearning to be a parent in one of those mountain states.

A child with a runny nose is a disgusting thing. Your child with a runny nose is an angel that needs to have their nose wiped before they re-enact the movie Up with mucus bubbles. Continue reading Parents, runny noses, Boogie Wipes and DISCO!

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head

We wanted a new shower head. The old one was gold plated, peeling and looked like it was from the 80s; and not the good 80s either, the bad 80s. Yup, the 80s’s had great moments, but this shower head was more like Saga than Pat Benetar and that’s not a good thing. Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-A new shower head
