Children’s music and the Christmas music test

When we first thought about children’s music it was a pan flute performed by dinosaurs with sing-songy lyrics about sharing. Certainly some children’s music gleefully and willingly falls into that description. However, there are many more choices than those that you just thought of. Some children’s music pass the Christmas music test and some don’t. Here’s what you need to pay attention to and why the Christmas music test might apply to you.

The state of Daddy Mojo and what to expect from us

First off, thanks for being here. Like the classic song from Expose, Seasons Change, I wanted to loop you in on what to expect from Daddy Mojo. The site has evolved since our rambling travel stories and confused child questions when we weren’t sure how to change a diaper. Now that our kids are older we’ll still write (and review) about baby products, parenting tips, poop culture and more. However, a couple new categories have entered the fray that warrants some explanation.

The Terrible Two is friend based prank fun reading

It’s important to point out that the title of the book is The Terrible Two and not the more commonly written “terrible twos”. This is a book about the pranks, friendship, competition, nepotism and cows. It’s an unlikely combination but it all works out in the end for this very enjoyable book that young readers (especially boys) will relate to and laugh at throughout.

Kicking it with King Julian, Iron Monkey and more #StreamTeam

Hey, hey, we’re part of the #StreamTeam over at Netflix and were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. I’ve never been too big on New Year’s Eve. I’m even less of a fan now that I have a 3 and 5 year old alarm clock that wake us up every day at 6:30. Netflix is helping parents on several fronts, one of them being a flexible New Years Eve countdown with Kind Julian and I’m highlighting some great things that you can stream now on Netflix.

Need to upgrade your photo tech? Best Buy has it all

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Even before I was a dad I loved photography. It gave me the chance to chronicle my trips and travels. Today’s new cameras make me thankful for the images I was able to capture and let’s my mind wander about the prospects of me travelling with a high quality digital camera. There are lots of cameras at Best Buy, but they’ve got some storming deals on three of them in particular now; all of which I’ve played with and one that I own and use every day. Plus all three are equipped with built in WI-FI.

We’ve been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

XBOX One, the JBL Flip 2 and the Tom Tom Go 50s are all things that you need (or really want) and right now Best Buy is sleighing the season with deals.

With TuneIn I travel to Japan, France-anywhere, without leaving home

I have partnered and was compensated by Life of Dad, LLC and TuneIn for this promotion I’m kind of a radio snob. I worked in radio for many years and am thankful that I don’t work there anymore. Pick a style of music, any music and it repeats and repeats-every 4-5 hours with a key couple of songs. I love most forms of music too, but my ears crave new sounds. To make matters more challenging I’m a music worker and am more productive when music is in the background. TuneIn is the app that brings me back to radio, makes me thankful for aspects of it and allows me to travel the world from my smart phone. TuneIn App and their selection

Shoot to save, with the Cannon EOS Rebel T5i at Best Buy this #HintingSeason

The review has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Save as in save memories and save money, both are things that parents want to do. We’re talking about the Cannon EOS Rebel T5i, I know, it just sounds like it should be starring with Arnold Schwarzennegar in the latest robot movie. In real life it’s one of the simplest ways for you to shoot HD video and 18.0 megapixel photos like a pro.
