Mmmm…Shredded Cheese…

Posted by on November 3, 2011 · 1 Comment 

We have a BIG EVENT in the theater department tonight. It’s a performance and a BBQ dinner and I’ve been stressing about this for about a week. Not that there’s really much for me to do before today, but that doesn’t stop me from stressing. And we all know what Kim does when she’s stressed, right? EATS EVERYTHING EVEN REMOTELY EDIBLE. I hate this because... Read More

This Is What It Looks Like Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

Posted by on January 9, 2011 · 9 Comments 

Another one of Wes’s “smiles” for a picture. Perfect for this entry, I do believe. Since I’ve been using WordPress…like for a millions years…to run my blog I’ve simply edited the same theme OVER and OVER again whenever I wanted a new design. I added some nice features over the years but really was never able to embrace all of the cool... Read More

One of those boring entries ABOUT blogging. Feel free to move along if you’re not a blogger.

Posted by on March 25, 2010 · 36 Comments 

Recently a someone asked me how I recommended they increase their traffic as, “My stats have only gone up, like 5% in the last year.” Heh. And you’re coming to me…WHY? I am constantly caught off guard when people assume I know about successful blogging. I dont make money of my site, I’m not on any sort of A-list of SUPER ENTERTAINING BLOGGERS. And I’m... Read More

Nevermind. Let Me Start Over.

Posted by on February 24, 2010 · 31 Comments 

I sit down many times and compose entire entries for the blog…only to delete them and start over. This morning I did one discussing whether other SAHMs feel guilty complaining about their job as a Mom for fear that their spouse may think, “Hey…you CHOSE this. If you don’t like it…get a REAL job.” Then I deleted it because I just didn’t... Read More

Getting Meta: About My About Me Page

Posted by on November 3, 2009 · 29 Comments 

I decided to update my “About Me” page relatively recently. Mainly because I wanted an excuse to post really awesome pictures of the teenage version of myself. Or maybe just because the old one came from such a different voice than I have now. Or maybe because it was just time since I seem to embark on this project every few years no matter what. Either way – I... 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.
