Auntie's Day Is Sunday, July 22!

It's hard to believe, but the 10th Auntie's Day is just three months away! Since 2009, Auntie's Day has taken place on the fourth Sunday in July. This year, Auntie's Day is Sunday, July 22. I established Auntie's Day a year after I founded Savvy Auntie as a day to feel acknowledged and appreciated for all that you do for the children in your life - from every boo boo you kiss, every little hand you hold, and every word of love and encouragement you offer.

Auntie Up!

Do you keep everything a niece or nephew has ever made for you - like cards, pottery, drawings, etc.?

Yes! Everything they have every made for me is either on display or in safe keeping. I could never throw it away.

I have a lot of it but not all. It's not that I don't value all of it; I'm just not very organized and I have misplaced things.

I keep most of it until they forget they made it for me.

I keep a few special things and throw out the rest. I love these children but I do not love clutter.

I don't keep any of it. I enjoy it in the moment and that's it.

They don't make things for me.

They are just babies but I cannot wait until they make things for me!
