Daddy Mojo reviews: Green Lantern toys

As a dad and comic book guy I’m psyched to see Green Lantern in theaters. When I was a kid the thing that hooked me to Green Lantern was the fact that, despite being a super hero, he was only as super as his imagination. If GL can physically handle it and can think about it, the ring can create it, as long as he’s not defending something yellow.

Would the Green Lantern toys measure up to entertain today’s kids? We received the Green Lantern Colossal Cannon and an Abin Sur action figure and put it up against the standards of a pack of young boys. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: Green Lantern toys

April iPad apps that will entertain toddlers

Our iPad is a great piece of machinery. As Toddler Mojo gets older we’re learning more and more that it can be an invaluable tool in educating him and keeping dad sane. The iPad sure isn’t a toy. However, all of those stories you hear about children loving the iPad are true and sometimes those quiet moments your child has with it are priceless.

Here are three great apps that can really help out mom and dad when yon toddler needs a distraction. Continue reading April iPad apps that will entertain toddlers

Daddy Mojo reads, Ice, by Arthur Geisert

As we are relatively fresh to the world of children’s books Arthur Geisert’s style and characters were new to us. Arthur Geisert’s characters are pigs; real pigs that walk and interact with one another like humans do. However, that is where any semblance of normal ends and a head tripping hog tale starts. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads, Ice, by Arthur Geisert

Dad hears Electrolytes but can only think Electro Woman

The other day Toddler Mojo didn’t have any mojo at all. He was cranky, yelling at everything and was unpleasant to be around. If he were 19 years old I would’ve told him to get his own apartment. However, as he’s 18 months old I knew that something was up with our growing Mojo. Continue reading Dad hears Electrolytes but can only think Electro Woman

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.

We had wanted to see Predators for a while; it’s a great character that was maligned through a series of alien mash ups and hammy acting by Danny Glover. The first Predator was great. It’s a classic that is arguably Arnold’s best movie. Considering that most of his movies stink up a sulfur plant that is saying something.

Daddy Mojo tries to make the Top 25 Circle of Moms Dad Blogs

The set up is simple. Countless Dad blogs enter the online octagon to make the list that Circle of Moms will put out for their Top 25 Dad Blogs. You click on a link that votes for said Dad Blog and only the Top 25 Dad Blogs remain. It’s kind of like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Circle of Moms is playing the Tina Turner part.

Is No Ordinary Family the best show on television?

Stay at home parents cherish time away from their child. We love them dearly, but those moments when we relax and have some adult time, watch television or read a book is a hot commodity. For those stay at home parents who have a part time job or home based business your time during the week is even more valuable.

I don’t, I can’t watch television during the week. I’d love to watch something every night of the week, but then my clients wouldn’t get their work done, my wife wouldn’t receive any conversation and Daddy Mojo wouldn’t get any reviews, commentary (or fart jokes) written. Having said that, I stop what I’m doing on Tuesday nights so I can watch No Ordinary Family on ABC. Continue reading Is No Ordinary Family the best show on television?

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.
