Day 1

Well, I’m here! I met a lot of cool women last night that I didn’t ask for one business card from. What is it about this place that makes me forget things like that? My feeble brain can’t remember all of this information – I’m only human! And lazy! I’m hitting up the free wifi in the lobby and waiting to get some coffee. I feel like I’ve... Read More

On my way…

I’m sitting at the airport right now, transferring my Harry Potter CDs to my iPod. I’m waiting for my flight to Chicago where I’ll be attending and “speaking” at BlogHer. I’ll be rooming with Marilyn and wishing Brit was there to bring me a late-night diet coke like she did last year. Amalah said it best over at clubmom – that everyone... 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.
