With Mother’s Day in our rear-view mirror, it’s a good time to think about the women in our children’s lives who don’t always receive the recognition they deserve. You know who she is: the sister who always picks up your kids from art class; the godmother who brings you all chicken soup when the whole family is sick; the friendly neighbor who invites the kiddies over for cookies and milk (and a movie!) on a weekly basis.
No one has done more to champion the awesome “aunts” in our lives than Melanie Notkin, founder of Savvy Auntie–the kid-friendly lifestyle brand that celebrates women who play a special role in our children’s lives.
Notkin’s new book, Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide For Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, And All Women Who Love Kids, is a helpful handbook for everything from niece- and nephew-proofing your home to choosing the right toys and gifts for all occasions.
It was one five books we featured in the Buzzworthy column in the May issue. It would be a great gift, and we can help:
We’re giving away five copies! To participate, write to us at newyorkfamily@manhattanmedia.com, putting “Savvy Auntie” in the subject line and including your contact information. Deadline to enter is Wednesday, May 25.
