Rock-N-Roll, Baby.

MrZ just called me and said that AndyZ fell asleep in the excersaucer watching Headbanger’s Ball. I left him with MrZ so that I could use the computer at my office to edit some photos (ours is still in the shop) and MrZ took the chance to expose our son to some of his music. Evidently my music is lame. AndyZ thought his music was pretty boring, as evidenced by his nap. Therefore... Read More

One of the many perks of the new job

I’ve been suffering the mall on Saturdays for so many Christmas shopping seasons that I had grown to have nightmares about it. And I like our mall, with it’s carpet and cinnamon sugar pretzel bites. But no matter how yummy the snacks are, the mall is a horrible place to be on Saturday in December. But I have learned a valuable lesson today. Before lunch on a weekday?... Read More

I’m in love

DUDE. You all know I made my Wedding cake out of donuts, right? WELL. Guess what I found? A glazed donut necklace. And it’s scented. I don’t think I would ever buy that necklace, because I’m afraid it is grouped with light-up holiday sweaters: Stuff I Find Totally Awesome But Would Never Wear. But – it is out of stock. Which means other people don’t... Read More

Woo Hoo!

For those of you wondering what ever happened to our old camera, you’ll be happy to learn that it as of this morning, we still hadn’t gotten it back from the repair shop. It was supposed to be repaired and returned by the 19th. As far as the online-status is concerned, it is still being “Shipped to Repair Center” which indicates that either (a) The repair... Read More

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

For NikkiZ’s birthday last month, we used all of the birthday budget money for her party and her new big-girl car seat. We didn’t really buy her any presents because, well, why should we? We knew she’d get tons at her party and since she is my second child, I am well aware that with all of her rockin’ new toys, some days she’ll just play with a box... 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.
