Aunts are universally important.
We are a fraction of the whole, but incredibly valuable nonetheless. Now, I say that and simultaneously recognize that not all Aunts are created equal. For various reasons some Aunts just have the title, some just show up for “special events” and others take on the role of second mom. The latter is my audience. I’ve gotten some feedback in the past about how “Aunts really don’t matter”, “They’re not like Moms”, “You’ll never understand”, etc. I ignore most of those people and don’t take anything that they say to heart because THEY don’t get it. If you’re on my blog have read my posts and it’s resonated with you, then you are my audience. I am here for you.
We’re not all the same
They say some women are born to be a mom. I understand that completely, and describe my own mother and sister as one of them. However, I will also say that some women were born to be Aunts. I am that woman, and maybe you are too.
We are often overlooked, under-appreciated (either by society or family), and our role can be devalued by many. Sometimes the more you care and the more you give, the less you’re noticed. For you women, I’m here for you. I know you’re out there. You deserve to be celebrated and my blog is dedicated to you.

Aunts give special attention to our nieces and nephews, but we don’t allow them to walk all over us…at least not with their shoes on.
Dana Gutkowski, The Enchanted Aunt
As Aunts, we get to experience all kinds of joy and discover just how strong we are. We do all this without ever being called Mommy (…on purpose).
Dana Gutkowski, The Enchanted Aunt
To all my fellow Aunts, just because they don’t call you Mom (on purpose) doesn’t mean you don’t love them like one.

To my nieces and nephews,
I love the chaos drama, and complaints you bring to Thanksgiving. Without it, it would be just another meal. But with it, it becomes a holiday.
