Mi sobrinita bonita


I’m an auntie! I’m an auntie! I’m and auntie!

My sister Carrie and brother-in-law Steve had their little girl Lilly Anna on August 15th. Awww, I hear you saying. I know, right?!

As a person who rarely feels different than I did as a child, what wise knowledge might I pass along to my new cotton candy tufted niece? There are a few things I learned at a very early age, that still hold true today:

1. Dogs are the best friends you’ll ever have.
2. Dry cat food is salty, but edible.
3. Never doubt yourself.
4. Blond is totally better. Rock it!
5. Music is best played loudly.
6. Cool aunts always carry gum in their purses.
7. You can never have too many shoes.
8. Cherish family.
9. Peanut butter and crackers are a perfectly acceptable dinner.
10. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss
Welcome to the world, little one!
