Home is where the heart is. In this category we’ll chat about anything relating to the home.
Prior to being a stay at home dad I had a wide variety of cleaning chemicals in my house. I even had two pints of acid that was kept in a thick black bottle, triple layered zip sealed bag. The acid didn’t make the move with us to our new home and is back at the old house, probably being surrounded by the EPA right now.
I was the single mans Breaking Bad, except I didn’t do anything with the chemicals, especially clean. Continue reading The pros and con of using vinegar to clean
My wife has always put up her Christmas tree the day after Christmas. If we were doing a family trip over Thanksgiving then I suspect that we’d have to stop somewhere, purchase a tree and take it back home with us. “Sweetie, they sell Christmas trees back home”, I’d say. She’d then remind me about how pretty the house looks once decorated and that a Christmas tree from hundreds of miles away would only add to the beauty of the house.
So we decorate the tree the day after Thanksgiving. Entering into a relationship with this decorator was quite the change for me. Many years ago, it’s possible that I’d have a tree, but it wasn’t guaranteed. I always had green things growing in my place, but it was not garland and may have required a plastic suit and gallons of white vinegar. Continue reading The DMZ on the Christmas tree

Most of the families that we know do have a pet of some kind. That’s a great thing because pets can really teach children a lot about responsibility, as well as, provide laughter and lots of love. Just like young children, Halloween can be a confusing time of year for our cats and dogs. These tips will help you get through Halloween, with a happy, healthy pet.
I’m cheap by nature and when we were shopping for outlet covers there didn’t seem to be any difference. As with all things baby and parenting we’ve discovered better options than what we first tried.
As this is our first child we didn’t know how naturally attracted children are to electrical outlets. Granted ours have the classic 90s gold covering, so maybe our child is just going up closer to get a look at his baby mug. Never use gold appliances in plumbing or with your outlet covers. We ran into this problem when we had to switch out a shower head as there, thankfully aren’t many options for people with gold plumbing. Sometimes I feel like we live in the home of a pseudo successful suburban rapper, Continue reading Lessons learned on baby proofing the outlets
This blog post is brought to you by the word “Pain”.
Nine years ago I was single with no children and had a hernia which caused me inconvenience and discomfort. A couple weeks ago I noticed a bulge in my lower stomach and suspected that my old friend was rearing its’ head again. Then, the bulge disappeared overnight. Ha, ha sucker fake hernia I’m better than you! Continue reading Daddy Mojo gets a hernia
Being a stay at home dad I try not adhere to the stereotype that guys are messier than women. That stereotype was difficult for me not to define because; prior to marriage and becoming a father I was a filthy, filthy man. One area that was especially challenging to me was laundry. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice it to say the fact that I’m proactive on the families’ laundry and can offer good advice on it is an underdog story for the ages.
