Sometimes I don’t need to watch a movie. Some previews are so enjoyable and give away major plot points that you don’t need to bother with the time or money to watch the actual movie. Hanna had a really good trailer and now that it’s available on demand we broke down and rented it.

A visit to Alliance Theatre to see Theatre for the Very Young
The attention span of a toddler is tougher to navigate than the mood cycles of woman who’s eight months pregnant. If you plan things poorly then you’ll be up against nap time.

Daddy Mojo watches TV: Up All Night
Up All Night is a new sitcom on NBC. It’s described as an irreverent look at modern parenthood, with the mom going back to work and dad staying at home to care for their young girl. Any show with a stay-at-home dad character can’t be all bad, so a real stay-at-home dad (with Mojo!) gave the pilot episode a try. Continue reading Daddy Mojo watches TV: Up All Night
September iPad apps that will entertain toddlers
The weather is fabulous, but if it were up to our toddler he’d be on the iPad for hours a day. We limit his time to about 20 minutes a day on the iPad.

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.

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.
