Dear Elizabeth,
I think that we need a national “Auntie’s Day” to celebrate all the aunties, like me, who are always there for nieces and nephews. Your thoughts?

Dear Wondering in Wilton,
The world in fact does celebrate “Auntie's Day” every year on July 26th. Who knew?
Melanie Notkin, the founder of Savvy Auntie, created the holiday to celebrate the special relationship between aunts and their nieces and nephews. This day honors women who are aunties by relation and aunties by choice. I have not seen any cards for this special day anywhere, so I will be reaching out to Hallmark shortly. Mark your calendars, feisty women. Aunties need to spread the word about their special day, too.
Aunt Elizabeth ;)
