Krispy Kreme Donut Wedding Cake

This post is for the gazillion Google hits I got on my old blog for people searching for “Krispy Kreme Donut Cakes”. So This? Is my wedding cake. Yes. It’s made out of Krispy Kreme Donuts. Yes. A Krispy Kreme Donut Wedding Cake. The outer layer are powdered donuts to give the “white” appearance, but all the inner ones? Glazed, Baby. Because those? Are like bits of heaven, in the form of little rings. Most importantly? People talked about it all... Read More

The BOOB.

Am I a bad mother for not caring a lot that my son saw Janet Jackson’s breast during the Super Bowl halftime show? I mean, I flinched for a second fearing full nudity (yeah – I know – thats not going to happen) and braced to cover my sons eyes, but it was just a boob. Okay – so I know I sound like MY parents when I say that my son’s generation is growing up faster than I had too. He will (has been) introduced to sex,drugs, and rock-n-roll much sooner... Read More

Mondays SUCK.

Its one of those days. My hair is BEYOND frizzy, so much so that the clippy I brought to keep it out of my face has popped out 3 times. Yes, my hair is planning a mutiny on my scalp. You’ve been warned. I have eaten so many cashews today (see damn Super Bowl leftovers) that I have retained all fluids and feel like I am going to explode from my fingers out. I spilled coffee on my lap. And Diet Coke. And I’m wearing very light khakis. Grr. I have lost my Subway Sub-Card... Read More

Glutony.

So – Yesterday was the Super Bowl. Also known as “One of many annual events that Zoot feels it’s NECESSARY to binge eat the most unhealthy food imaginable”. I decided this year to make it a two-day event. We had a crock pot full of my special cheese dip, some homemade french onion dip, salsa, little chocolate peanut butter footballs, and the most sinfully chocolate birthday cake imaginable for a friend whose birthday is today. There was also an assortment... Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
