September 30, 2021 No. 52 My question for you: Are the Halloween decorations up yet? We are leaning full-force into fall, with a jaunt to the local apple orchard (ate our weight in Pixie Crisps) and bucket list items to check off (drive-in theater! pumpkin picking! spooky movies!). Hoping for heaps of fall fun in your family's future too. — Thao 
This week, I’m dropping off my youngest at college, which means, among other things, family dinner in my house, which we’ve had religiously for fifteen years, and which I’ve been writing about for over a decade, will now look a lot different.
Instead of focusing on how strange it will be to have only two place settings instead of four, I thought instead I might share a few rules I’ve collected along the way.

My best friend is having twins — wahoo! What is the best gift for new twin parents?? A nap?! — Annie 
Dear Annie,
I would say TWO naps! :)
But seriously, I think that families that have twins probably have an amazing time — hair-raising, for sure — but amazing. I have a number of friends with twins and they are all very happy, BUT the root of your question seems to be what might be a good gift that MIGHT make everyone feel a little calmer about the big day that's about to arrive. I get it. It's GOT to calm twin-xiety. Maxwell Ryan is a father and was an elementary school teacher in NYC before founding Apartment Therapy.
