Adam is the oldest of three brothers. They are very close and when the three of them are together, it really is the best of times. But in honor of Scott’s birthday – Adam’s middle brother – this blog post is dedicated to him. Now Adam and Scott are practically the same person. I mean,… Continue reading A Tale of the Middle Brother
Some of you may think you already know this one…but until now no one has heard the real story. The full story. Adam has always wanted his own garden, even back in the days before he had space for one. This story really begins back in 2006 when we lived in our apartment in Arlington.… Continue reading The Garden That Could
When we got married, I pretty much planned it all. Every last detail except for one – the tuxedoes. He was adamant that he wanted to be involved in selecting all the details for the attire for himself and his groomsmen. The style. The vest. The color. All of it. And I was happy he… Continue reading The Big Reveal
On Mother’s Day, it’s only natural to think back to when you first became a mom. For me that day was April 14, 2012. Those first few weeks as a mom were like nothing I had ever experienced before. Both magical, and incredibly overwhelming. Like many first-time moms, I was back-and-forth between the pure wonder… Continue reading Mother’s Day Musings
Adam tends to do things in excess. This may come as no surprise…and it applies across pretty much every facet of his life. We ran out of honey? He buys this tub.

Adam and I first got together when we were really young. I was 15 and he was 18. And though we had our moments of seeing other people, for the most part, we were together throughout that time. Which meant several years of a long distance relationship – through college and the first few years… Continue reading The Awkward Voicemail
I always knew Adam was a little…different. Partially because he used to show up to my house with no shoes (like on several occasions he actually drove all the way to my house, and it wasn’t until I pointed it out that he realized he forgot to put them on before he left and we would… Continue reading Shmadum the Gamer

For some of us, we just want to check that last part off the list. Like we know we need to dress up – and may even want it to… Continue reading Halloween
When your husband suggests we bake a homemade cake for your daughter’s birthday… so sweet. When he offers to bake it himself…even more amazing. When he uses some random expired Kalamata Olive Oil to make it and it turns out tasting and smelling like actual playdough that needs to be thrown away immediately…typical. #shmadum
For anyone who knows anything – and I mean absolutely anything – about Adam, you know he has a fundamental inability to make plans. More often than not, he flat out refuses to. Which means by the time he has agreed to actually do something, the entire rest of the world has already made plans and… Continue reading That One Time Adam Tried to Make Plans
