MarieClaire.com: Exclusive Q&A: Melanie Notkin is The Savvy Auntie
Melanie Notkin, Founder of Savvy Auntie, created an entire brand devoted to giving aunts the tools to be as knowledgeable and resourceful as parents while reminding them of their unique role in a child's life. In her first book, Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids, Notkin teaches aunts everything from how to ease the pain of teething to how to quiet a nosy relative who brings up the term 'biological clock.' We spoke to her about the recent launch of her first book and about what it really means to be savvy.
