I like being a dad. However, being a dad with an iPhone-and a wallet means that I am removing something from my pants at any point in time. The wallet leaves the back pocket to get a credit card or the iPhone is taken out of the front pocket to tweet or call the wife. If you plan your credit cards and ID carefully, the BellaVita Wallet can make your phone and wallet pockets happier. Continue reading Win a BellaVita Wallet or Wristlet for your iPhone
Two fabulous online communities for parents and pet owners
In addition to wrangling things here I do some writing and social media management. Both of those worlds are colliding to some extent in two new ventures that are happening that you need to know about. The parenting angle is covered by The Go-To Parents Community on Google + and my experience with animals is being used as a writer on The Pet Match Maker.

How to remove crayons from wooden surfaces
The other day More Mojo was crawling his 16 month old self up the stairs. I was dutifully behind him making sure that he didn’t reverse course. When we got to the top I grabbed him and headed down when I saw 3 YO Mojo had taken out his crayons and was coloring the hardwood floors. Nooooo, I yelled in my best slow motion voice, while running down the stairs carrying a crawler. Continue reading How to remove crayons from wooden surfaces
6 tips on taking small children to a movie theater
We saw Skyfall when it was it theaters, great movie if you haven’t seen it. The theater was packed and seating was limited. In front of our seats was a young couple with a 3 month old in their baby carrier. The specter of a crying newborn was almost as scary as Javier Bardem’s performance was creepy. Continue reading 6 tips on taking small children to a movie theater
Super Bowl snacks-cooking with Newcastle Brown Ale
I’ve heard that cooking with beer can be a tasty sauté, but I never have done it until this week. My thought was that if I cook with beer and don’t like it, then it’s a waste of beer. Factor in that it would be a potential waste of a good beer and that’s a bad thing indeed. Continue reading Super Bowl snacks-cooking with Newcastle Brown Ale
Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun
I am a novice geek in that there a couple touchstone franchises I never got into. I was a casual Star Trek fan (because, let’s face it Star Wars is overall better) and the only Doctor Who I had ever seen were episodes that aired on PBS in the mid 70’s. All I remembered of that were bad special effects and a tall man with a big hat a poofy hair. Continue reading Star Trek: TNG/Doctor Who Assimilation 2, Vol 2 is logical and fun

Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus-Dragons in Atlanta and Duluth Feb 13-Mar 3
3 YO Mojo is giddy. For the past two years we’ve been to the welcoming ceremony for the circus. That’s the elephant parade for lack of a better term when some elephants and clowns come outside the arena the morning before the first show. Those times he was too young to enjoy it, but now that he knows (and loves) all of his animals, he is primed to go this year. Continue reading Ringling Bros.
