A survey of teachers from architecture firm Corgan got us talking about classroom design, which Nicole turned from a passion into a day job (her blog, The Inclusive Class). Mentioned: This story about a school in Washington that gave a boy with special needs a desk in a restroom.

Roundabout Roundup: Downton Abbey Movie, Nourished Festival, and Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs9/27/2019
On this week's Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's excited about the Downton Abbey movie (in theaters now; here's a recap of where the show left off). Terri will soon be attending the Nourished Festival in Secaucus, New Jersey, and she can get you a free or discounted ticket; contact her on Twitter or Facebook. And Nicole surprised us with an unexpected beauty product: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
Are you a stickler for rules, or the benevolent leader of a lawless land? Guess which one applies more to each of us.
Ever notice that moms are such good listeners that it basically becomes our full-time job? Sometimes we wish our kids would realize that dads have ears, too.
On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, we said goodbye to our first star on Dancing with the Stars. We think we're in favor of the new voting system—but definitely not the protracted elimination scene.
On The West Wing, President Bartlet got two world powers to put their disagreement on hold long enough for his daughter Ellie to be married (in "The Wedding"), while Josh's confidence cratered on the campaign trail. Mentioned: The West Wing Weekly podcast. Next week, we'll continue with DWTS (Movie Night!) and The West Wing ("Running Mates"). We'll also enjoy the return of The Good Place, with its season four premiere.
When we heard that Disney has a bedtime hotline (in which characters tell kids to go to bed), we started dreaming about other hotlines we could use—and which pop culture celebs should staff them.
On this week's Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's enjoying the latest iteration of The Great British Baking Show (on Netflix). Nicole's watching The Righteous Gemstones on HBO, and Terri's singing the praises of that modern marvel, IMDB.
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.
Mom stress and worry is eternal, but we have some modern ways of dealing with it, from meds to apps and other tech. We also depend on those old stand-bys, fresh air and vegetables. Well, some of us do. (Mentioned: Trello, https://trello.com/en-US)
A McSweeney's list of surprising ways to injure yourself when you're over 40 prompted us to recount our own aches and pains, whether they're age-related or of other mysterious origin.
On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, it was a double dose of dancing. So You Think You Can Dance crowned a winner (the one who's been our pick all along!). And Dancing with the Stars returned with a new set, a new crop of "stars," some new pros, and the usual potential for a fun season. Mentioned: Comedian Ryan Hamilton's "adult fall" routine, in honor of Christie Brinkley, and Annie Barrett's blog.
Next week, DWTS week 2 (when we'll actually get to vote for our faves), and on West Wing, "The Wedding." |
