September has been all about balancing dad life, family adventures, and small joys that keep me moving (and sane). This is my monthly moodboard of what I’m absolutely loving right now: the coffee order that fuels me, the toddler gear that keeps us active, the gadgets I can’t stop tinkering with, and those random little purchases that turned into daily staples.

Who needs a fancy gym membership when your toddler is basically a built-in personal trainer? From stroller runs and backyard cardio sessions to dance parties in the living room, these are my favorite ways to stay active with my little one. 👉 Pro Dad Tip: Every meltdown, piggyback ride, and stroller push counts as movement. Add in a little music, a backyard toy, and some wearable tech — and you’ve got yourself the most unpredictable, full-body workout plan on earth.

Every dad has a garage (or basement, or shed) stash that’s basically their personal treasure chest. These are the sacred items Dad guards like gold — from duct tape to the perfectly coiled extension cord.

Bedtime with a toddler can be equal parts chaos and magic. This toolkit is packed with dad-friendly essentials that make the nightly routine smoother — from storytime staples to comfort must-haves that help both kids and dads wind down.

Playtime with a toddler doesn’t have to mean sitting through another round of stacking blocks (unless you want to). These are dad-approved playtime favorites — toys, games, and gear that toddlers love and make it easy for dads to get involved, bond, and have fun too.

Total build cost: $1,379.82I'm a systems tinkerer who builds budget-conscious gaming rigs that also double as small local AI servers. This build balances single-threaded gaming performance with enough cores, memory, and fast NVMe storage to run local models, experiments, and VMs. Everything here is focused on reliability, thermals, and upgrade path — I’ve tested these parts across multiple builds and workloads. Ask me if you want a parts-only Amazon/Newegg bundle or a lighter gaming-only variant.
