Proud Mama Creys!

It’s SHOW WEEK! Since E is a Junior, he was able to audition for and participate in the winter straight play. This year it’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and E is Tweedle-Dum. They also needed a few heart children for a few minor moments on stage and guess who happens to have brothers and sisters the right size? E! So, somehow, I ended up with THREE kids in this... Read More

One look at Wes and you just know that his power of cuteness is evil and could overtake you at a moments notice. Add in his latest phase of Cuddle Monster and his powers are multiplied exponentially. He’ll reach his arms out for a “hug” and next thing you know you’ve been carrying him for an hour and you can’t/won’t put him down because his sweet... Read More

Wes is so adorable. Don’t let those big blue eyes fool you. He’s pure evil with big floppy blonde curls. ************************* I mentioned recently that Wes’s behavior been SO MUCH BETTER as he gets closer to the age of 4. I even took him to his first rehearsal for “Alice in Wonderland” the other day (He and Nikki are playing heart children in... Read More

This weekend kicked my ass in 100 different ways. It went something like this: Birthday, Theatre, Birthday, Theatre, Run 8 miles, Theatre, Birthday. Between E’s birthday and the big ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Tea Party/Fundraiser thing we had – it was non-stop. So yesterday? I slept late (4:50am) and didn’t get a chance to update you on everything. DAMN... Read More

There Is Not Enough Wood For Me To Knock On, I Know…

So, you know how I’ve written at least 50 times lately about how HORRIBLE Wes has been at age 3? And that Nikki was the same way but she got much better at 4? If recent developments are to be trusted, we’ll be able to say the same thing about Wes. He turns four in May but lately? He has been SO MUCH BETTER. The threats of time out actually work and nip bad behavior in... 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.
