Day 02 – Something I Love About Myself

Do you remember? I’m doing that 30 Days Of Truths thing that’s going around. I’ve have chosen not to do them non-stop because I like to post every day and some days I have other things I’d rather talk about. Like boobsweat. (Wow. Been awhile since I’ve typed that word out. *sigh* Pregnant during an Alabama summer with no air-conditioning in my car: I Do Not Miss You.) I’m actually quite impressed with how easily I came up with things for today.... Read More

The Social Network Generation: Trying To Parent A Teenager In The Shadow Of Facebook

I remember the first time I heard about someone getting busted for skipping work when they called in “sick” because their boss saw their pictures from a drunken outing on MySpace. Then there were cases where kids had let friends take revealing pictures of themselves and those pictures were emailed out to their entire school. Of course, there’s always the token American Idol contestant who ends up having people from their past pop up with incriminating photos... Read More

I mean, SERIOUSLY. Candy Flesh? *sigh*

Our weekend was full of houseguests and Halloween and all of the fun involved with both. My friend’s daughters stayed with us this weekend which motivated me to take the crew up to Green Mountain on Saturday and enjoy the mild weather. The 11-year old probably needed to sleep all day yesterday to recover as my two youngest like to follow her around every second and make her entertain them.

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.
