Lately, my mind has been in the toilet. Potty training is a topic that is front and center to any parent of a toddler. Toddler Mojo is just over two and a half and is curious about the potty. For the sake of our potty training lingo, potty mean urination and poop means solid matter. However, all of these terms are hypothetical because Toddler Mojo is just starting the process of potty training. Continue reading Pull Ups has tools to help with potty training

Daddy Mojo used to teach. Being an ex educator he’s interested in many things about education, such as teaching policies, best practices and bureaucracy.

Social media and life lessons at Disney Social Media Moms
Trying to digest the information that you learn at conferences can be challenging. Once you’re home, the tide of housework and clients can overwhelm the lessons that you were supposed to incorporate into your lifestyle. I’m used to writing in 140 characters, but here are some of the major points I took away from Disney Social Media Moms. Continue reading Social media and life lessons at Disney Social Media Moms
Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM
My family and I just returned from Disney Social Media Moms at Walt Disney World. While I was there I had the opportunity to meet Ridley Pearson and hear him speak about getting kids motivated about reading. Ridley was a very engaging speaker who effortlessly weaved tales about Dave Barry, 10 foot Pythons and the creative process of writing a book into an entertaining, linear story.

I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it
I hope it’s a fun funeral that celebrates my life more than my death. They’ll play music to a playlist (that I still need to give my wife) that will include music by Pulp, Astrud Gilberto, Skunk Anansie and Spitz. While I still need to get that playlist to my wife, all of the very serious medical decisions have already been decided. Continue reading I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it
The ‘slave math lesson’ in Georgia and what’s missing
In Norcross, Georgia a government (public) school issued math homework to some of the third graders. Unfortunately some of these word problems incorporated slavery lessons that they were being taught about in social studies. “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week”, is an example that the kids took home with them.

LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers
Toddler Mojo loves the iPad. When he was younger, i.e., more controllable, he’d sit in my lap and go through some of the learning apps for children. Now that he’s 27 month old, he’s well into being a toddler and wants to control anything and everything. With the iPad, that doesn’t work out so well; it’s expensive and it might frustrate the toddler mind which would then cause Hulk like rage and the throwing of expensive electronics. Continue reading LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers
Daddy Mojo reads The Great Expectations School by Dan Brown
I enjoy watching zombie movies. There’s a sense of dread that hangs in the air. You want to yell out to the characters not to do something or to run anyplace other than where they are now. In a way I enjoyed reading The Great Expectations School, a Rookie year in the New Blackboard Jungle for some of those same reasons. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads The Great Expectations School by Dan Brown
