I like to think of myself as a "cool mom", but as I am now 40 I am not so sure of that anymore....

Binge-watching TV is always my go-to while on the treadmill or the elliptical.  Unfortunately I do not have time to watch my own shows at home- thanks kids- but before bed I have been REALLY trying to get back to reading.  This book, Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, has been keeping my attention for the last few weeks.  I heard about it through the Goodreads site and thought that it would be something I would love- especially because Stephen King expressed that the book was “Funny and Scary.”  Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman will supposedly star in an HBO series based on the book which I will definitely binge-watch. The story revolves around a group of parents, their kindergartners, and MAJOR (hilarious) drama at Pirriwee Elementary School, set in Australia.

Having a son in Kindergarten, I can relate to some of the banter between the moms and the silly happenings and dramatization of such trivial events.  Big Little Lies takes it to a whole new level.  This post is not meant to be a book review, but a PSA to let all of my readers know that this book is seriously addicting, amusing, and disturbing.

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
