Hey Dads-The Atlanta Baby & Child Expo is this weekend

Everybody in the Mojo house is excited as we’re expecting our second child in October.  Just because we run a parenting blog don’t think that we know everything about being a dad, much less being a father to an infant.  Infancy was more than a year ago and I have trouble remembering what we saw on television last night.  I think it was Bait Car, but can’t be too sure.

How waiting tables can help you be a better parent

Working as a waiter in a restaurant is one of those life skills that you don’t realize is a life skill when you’re doing it.  Similar to some people I worked as a waiter when I was between jobs or attending school.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but those skills that I learned during those many restaurants have improved who I’ve become as a parent.

What does a stay at home dad do on Mother’s Day?

In a stereotypical situation the mom takes care of the kids, goes shopping, does some errands and cooks.  In those situations the ideal gift for Mother’s Day is a day at the spa or time away from the family.  This would leave the father in charge of the family where it’s presumed that the house would implode, the hot water heater would burst; no diapers would be changed and if they were it would result in the babies poop ending up on dad’s face.

DIY a Stay at home Dad can do: Wall paper removal

My wife and I love our house, for us it is perfect.  When we have to move it’ll be because we’re old, gray and can’t make it up the stairs anymore.  If we have to move before then and don’t like the people who’ll be purchasing the house, then this dad will spend hours putting up wall paper.  Ugly, thick wall paper that will be immediately dated to an era when boy bands ruled and Good Vibrations wasn’t considered a cheesy song.

Dad spends a night in the man cave: The Revenge

Mom had a business trip to visit one of her clients.  While dad certainly misses his bride for the night, he would also welcome some time in the man cave.   This trip had been announced for a couple weeks and not so secretly, dad had been making a man cave short list of movies to watch.  Mom tried to help by saying that dad could watch two movies in one night.  However, in reality, the short list was actually a real list of short actors in movies he’d wanted to see. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the man cave: The Revenge

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
