Daddy Mojo’s video, book and music gift guide

During this time of year parents might miss some hidden gems or low hanging fruit when it comes to gifts. Enter the Daddy Mojo Gift Guide. It has a couple gifts that are obvious and awesome, some things that flew just under the radar and some indie stuff that your kids will absolutely love.

It’s broken down into videos, books and music. There are also lots of toys and tech, but that’ll be in another post.

A 5 year old muses about fire breathing dragons in Big Hero 6

We love our movies. Because we have younger children it’s rarer for them to get to the theaters and actually see good movies.

Big Hero 6 is the best movie that fits that category that we’ve seen this year. Here’s a video reaction from our somewhat camera shy son about Big Hero 6.

Can parents really not have a favorite son?

When I was in school I had a friend whose father preferred his sister. The reason was that the father expected his daughter to cheer and the son to play football.

The John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine will be the next piece of his farm domination.

Both of our children are too young to appreciate the film so I planted myself on the sofa and was relieved to find out that Galaxy Quest hasn’t aged too much. If you haven’t seen Galaxy Quest here are 5 simple reasons why it’s one of the best comedies or science fiction movies on Netflix now.
