Aunties' Day 2018- Only 2 more Sleeps!!!!

This year, you have options.

#ExcitedMuch #AwesomeAunty #countdown
I am finding some conflicting information about Aunties' day this year, which I am going to take as more opportunities to honour the awesome Aunties in our lives!

Some websites are claiming Thursday 26 July 2018 is Aunties' and Uncles' Day, which will be observed in Australia and New Zealand as well as several other countries around the world.  Savvy Auntie - the website which originated Aunties' Day in USA, has saved the date as Sunday 22 July 2018.   If you want to learn more about why we celebrate Aunties' Day, check out these links:

Our family are celebrating Aunties' Day this Sunday - the 22 July!  I can't wait!  

Here are a few ideas for how you can celebrate with the Awesome Aunty in your life! Some of these are perfect, even if you can't manage to see her IRL on Sunday!
  • Make her a card... she loves your art work, especially if you took the time to create it yourself. 
  • Breakfast in Bed!  What a wonderful surprise she would have if some nieces and nephews appeared in her kitchen on Sunday morning.  
  • Party!! Enjoy some time together. 
  • Last year, my niece made a Pass the Parcel for the family to play together and as each person opened their layer, they had to say something awesome about me, or give me a hug or a high five, or say "I love you".  Best Game Ever! 
  • Gift card to her favourite store or restaurant. 
  • Make a collage of photos including nephews, nieces, activities you enjoy together, your Aunty/Uncle. 
  • Tell Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all your social media channels about your Aunty/Uncle and why they are awesome.  Encourage others to comment about their own Awesome Aunties/ Uncles.  
  • Film a Video Message for your Aunty/ Uncle and send it to him/her. 
  • Video Chat or make a phone call! 
HAPPY AUNTIES' DAY!!
