Wanted: Sappy Songs!

I worked this weekend on a graduation video for my sister-in-law as a type of graduation gift from her Mom (who must have scanned 300+ photos) and I. I did it in iMovie and it turned out pretty good for my first one. The only problem is, I didn’t realize how long my gaps between music were until the day she watched it. So, before I burn it to a DVD (which is giving me fits) I would love to fill in those gaps. Do any of you know of any good sappy music either about friendship... Read More

Either I’m Normal or We’re All Gross and Lazy! Woo!

Wow. I’m so surprised at how many of you answered in the SAME WAY I would have. I was scared to tell you the truth when you all are just like me! (sort of). Here we go: 1. Do you clean your counters with a sponge or paper towel?I used my Method Non-Toxic spray (in case the little fingers get exposed to get and put in mouths) and paper towels. I don’t know if it’s because I hand-wash my dishes, but my sponge seems so nasty I’m scared to use it on my counter.... Read More

I want to see where I rank amidst “normal”

Okay – so I have a few domestic questions for you so that I can see where my habits rank amongst the typical behavior. As in Am I Lazier than Normal? Do you clean your counters with a sponge or paper towel? Do you re-use towels after you shower or get a clean one every time? How long do you re-use them before getting a clean one out? Do you do all of your grocery shopping for the week at once or do you make several medium-sized trips? How often do you clean your bathtub? How... Read More

Maybe I’m Glad to be Sitting This One Out

My Mom is heading home today, and I’m sad to see her go. We’ve had a great visit even though we didn’t let her relax at all with all of the stuff we did. She’ll probably need a few days to recover from the crazy weekend – I know I will! We are up early this holiday because MrZ is running the Cotton Row Run 10K today. We were going to run it together, but my pregnancy has thwarted that. After seeing the notorious hills the race is famous for yesterday?... 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.
