Savvy Auntie Biography/Detail
A Savvy Auntie is one who understands that Aunt-hood, just like parenthood, doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and seeks to discover how to be the most Savvy Auntie she can be and inspire other Aunties in the same way. She’s savvy in every other aspect of her life; now she can be savvy about kids too.
With an estimated 50% of American women not having children of their own, but kids still being front-and-center in their lives, SavvyAuntie.com provides the knowledge and community these women crave to support their Savvy Auntie lifestyle. And with the surplus of online resources for parents, it’s time for a destination dedicated to the other half of the adult female population who have less access to information about how to best love, support and develop kids.

I became an aunt for the first time on January 14, 2001 with the birth of my oldest niece. In Savvy Auntie terms, this made me an ABR, or Auntie By Relation, as my niece is the daughter of my brother and his wife. Her birth - which I had the honor of witnessing - was the first of many incredible auntie moments I've been able to experience over the last 10 years.
And reading the "Savvy Auntie" book was like taking a wonderful trip down auntie memory lane.
The book covers everything auntiehood, and I found myself getting a little teary reading it, remembering all the amazing moments I've shared with my 2 nieces and 7 nephews over the years.
There was that moment when my first niece was born and I became a DebutAunt (the Savvy Auntie term for a first-time auntie)... the time I helped my sister-in-law make a cake for my second niece's (my goddaughter!) first birthday party, making me really feel part of the celebration... the baby showers I helped plan for both of my sisters-in-law and for my sister when she had her first baby boy... the very first times I held each of my nieces and nephews.
When you're a Savvy Auntie - defined in the book as "a woman who loves a child who's not her child," there is so much to learn... and so much to give these special people in your life.
This book reminds us that we have a very special role in the lives of our nieces and nephews. It includes fun anecdotes, but also practical advice from real aunts about gift ideas, celebrating milestones and traditions to share.
There are important how-tos, like: how to help plan a baby shower, how to niece- or nephew-proof your home, and how to care for your new niece or nephew (holding, swaddling and bathing - oh, my!).
It suggests great books to give (or better yet - read with) your nieces and nephews.
It covers how to handle the feeling of loving being an aunt, but wanting a child of your own.
The book reminds us aunties that we're all part of an important Auntourage (another Savvy Auntie term!), and we're a pretty powerful and special force!
Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids makes a fabulous gift for any auntie... wouldn't it be a great way to let someone know that she is going to become an aunt?
