Team Zoot

Friday, February 3, 2012

Donnie hit the trails with some of us last weekend and it was tons of fun. It’s not easy for him to slow down, but luckily it worked out fine since the rest of the group ran at my pace. Also – he ended up busting his ass at some point and he was really glad he was far enough ahead of us that no one saw him fall. Having a supportive spouse is KEY with this new active lifestyle. Because, while I love it when we can go out together, it’s more often that he and I oblige the other their workout time by...

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 arms are wrapped tightly around your neck and he’s saying things like, “I’ll keep you warm, Momma.” BACK OFF KID…I...

New Beginning. Again.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Today is the first day of February, which means January is over. The first month of 2012 is over. We can now officially analyze our progress with my our 2012 resolutions! You go first. How are you doing? FINE. I’ll go first. Let’s get the bad out of the way. My eating habits have not been adjusted like I had hoped they would. Do you like how I phrase that? Like it’s some sort of thing I’m hoping will just happen as opposed to something I might have failed at. I like to divert responsibility...

Pop Culture Shenanigans

Lessons In YouTube

Picture 13

I’ll be honest. Until several months ago I was simply a casual YouTube user. I watched whatever videos went viral but beyond that? Eh. Whatevs. Then E turned me onto Daily Grace. And that’s when I discovered that there are people who create fresh content regularly on their own YouTube channels. WHO KNEW? It’s just [...]

What I'm Cooking

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

DSC_6423

A friend of mine mentioned cooking some good chicken and rice soup the other night and this was the basic recipe he used, with ground chicken. I thought I’d give it a whirl but I made a few adjustments based on what was in my kitchen, and what I like. I also increased the quantity [...]

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.
