You are the exact reason why I ...Dear Auntie Dena,<br /><br />You are the exact reason why I developed SavvyAuntie.com. I too am infertile (but the 'circumstantial' kind - I haven't met Mr Right) and I love my nephew and nieces to bits (I love your list!!) <br /><br />And you and I are not alone. Nearly 50% of US women are childless. 1/5 of women age 40-44 are childless. And even when we have children, it's later in life than ever before, giving us plenty of time and resources to focus on our nieces and nephew by relation and by choice. 14% of first time moms are 35 or older.<br /><br />That's why I gave us an acronym: PANK. It's marketing speak. We're too powerful, influential (and loving!) for marketers to ignore anymore.<br /><br />Or for society to ignore. <br /><br />Which is why I also created a special 'day' for us. The second annual Auntie's Day is tomorrow, Sunday, July 25th. It's a day for you and all the other Savvy Aunties to be celebrated for all that we do for the children in our lives.<br /><br />I hope your nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews find a way too appreciate you tomorrow. In the meantime, I sure do.<br /><br />XOXO,<br />Auntie Melanie<br />Twitter.com/savvyauntie<br />Facebook.com/savvyauntie<br />SavvyAuntie.comMelanie Notkinhttp://savvyauntie.comnoreply@blogger.com
