DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-repairing wall dings

Guys, dads, men: have you ever gotten the wrong kind of milk? Your other half needs skim milk that usually has the red top, unless you go to a different store, which will have another color. Sometimes you’ll reach in the area where the red topped skim milk should be, but somebody else had put a pink topped no fat milk there instead.

Either of these situations can happen and it’s not your fault, you just weren’t paying attention. How does this milk parable parlay into a DIY project that is very basic? Continue reading DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-repairing wall dings

A bunny is a bad gift this Easter

As an animal guy this dad is all for getting a pet for the family. Any pet that is being adopted should always have plenty of thought regarding expenses, lifestyle and considerations if said pet is appropriate for your situation. Lastly, the adoption process shouldn’t be motivated by popular trends or holidays. If Disney releases a movie about the cute exploits of a porcupine dog that smells of sulfur, but has cute eyes and loves children then parents around the world would be looking for this smelly beast to adopt.

Daddy Mojo says: Pregnant women smell good

As a dad and comic book geek I often fantasize about super powers and which one, presuming I could have only one, I would choose. It has to be a super power and not an object that gives you certain abilities. So doing a Green Lantern or having multiple abilities like Superman or Spider Man isn’t an option. Though, it would be cool to be able to control the fish like Aquaman, but then I’d totally have to lay off the seafood. Continue reading Daddy Mojo says: Pregnant women smell good

Guys know that tone of voice. That tone of voice either says, please come here and explain what you’ve done or there is a genuine problem here. Continue reading Doctor Dad and the cyclopean Venus Flytrap toddler

When we last saw our competitors, Round Up and Ortho, they were busy fighting weeds in different parts of a busy dad’s yard. Ortho was sprayed on the back porch and Round Up was sprayed in the front walk way.

It’s been almost two weeks and said busy dad hasn’t weeded the sprayed areas as he wants to see which one really kills weeds to the highest degree. Continue reading Daddy Mojo’s Weed Challenge-update

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.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Woodpecker damage to the house

For the second year in a row a tiny harbinger of spring has made an unwelcome call at the Mojo house. As a child I watched his exploits on television and found them quite amusing. However, as a dad I find them annoying and costly of time and money.

How did my love affair with the woodpecker fall out of flavor? Our last house had asbestos siding. If a woodpecker were looking for food there all they would be met with are millions of tiny fibers that would either kill the bird or cause them to sue us.
