Are There Any Real Secrets?

I’ve been thinking a lot about secrets lately with scandal after scandal on the news. Thinking about how secrets really stay hidden. I mean, we hear about these stupid scandals all the time: Affairs. Drugs. Illegitimate children. Debt. Theft. Stories where we are all shocked because we are not directly involved, but I always wonder: Are the people involved shocked?

Technology and Motherhood

Angela did a meme on her blog about Motherhood and technology as part of her participation in the BlogHer Momspotting project.

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.
