Thank you, Aunties.

Dear Savvy Aunties,

After many wonderful years, I have retired SavvyAuntie.com.

I launched SAVVY AUNTIE® in 2008 as the ultimate destination for cool aunts, great-aunts, godmothers, and all women who love the children in their lives. It quickly became the home of the PANK® (Professional Aunt, No Kids) and of Auntie’s Day®, the annual celebration of modern aunthood held every fourth Sunday in July.

Together, we made my first book, SAVVY AUNTIE: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids, a national bestseller.

To the entire Savvy Auntourage, thank you for sharing your love for your nieces and nephews—by relation and by choice—through this website, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and in your emails and letters over the years. You created a remarkable community centered on the children in our lives and the gift of modern aunthood.

And to all the contributors, as well as the many Savvy Auntie team members over the years, thank you for sharing your expertise, creativity, and devotion with all of us.

As I’ve always said: “Aunthood Is a Gift. Savvy Auntie Is Yours.”

The Savvy Auntie community lives on through the Savvy Auntie Facebook Page and Group and on Instagram @SavvyAuntie, and I hope you’ll continue the conversation there.
