It’s personal partly because my daughter is about to start kindergarten. She is about to be directly affected by the changes Betsy DeVos and the Trump administration have planned for public education in this country.

The moments when these women and fellow mothers realize just how wrong they were about each other, and break down their own walls to admit it.

This week on Big Little Lies, some questions are answered, while fresh ones accumulate.

We're OBSESSED with Big Little Lies. Loved the book, and so far, loving HBO's adaptaion of it. So we're going to be digging into it each and every week! Join us as we dish on everyone's favorite new guilty pleasure.
