In Celebration of Professional Aunts

Jul 16

savvyauntieJuly 26 is Savvy Auntie’s Day, a day of celebration for professional aunts.

Too often, single women who are aunts are overlooked. Last year, Melanie Notkin filled that void with SavvyAuntie.com, an interactive website and online community for aunts.

Are you a PANK (Professional Aunt With No Kids)? Are you the favorite, crazy aunt to your brother or sister’s kids? Head on over to SavvyAuntie to connect with other aunts, get advice on being an aunt and celebrate with other women like you.

As a woman with two adorable nephews, I’m pleased there is now a special day for aunts. There’s Mother’s Day and Father’s Day–why not Savvy Auntie’s Day, too?

Here are some tips on how to celebrate your special day:

  • Get ice cream for your nephews and nieces, and take pictures of it dribbling down everyone’s faces in the July sun.
  • Take the kids out of the heat and into a kids’ movie.
  • Invite your other single girlfriends who are aunts, and have a girls’ night out. Exchange cool auntie gifts. 
  • Share/Bookmark
