My niece Luna was born a week before I got married which made her even more special to me. Since I became an aunt, I have experienced so much love I didn't know I could have.

1.You get to help shape the life of this little human.

This little life is born and now you are able to help mold your niece or nephew. You are able to teach, love and guide a child that will look up to you. I love watching Luna develop her personality and I am excited to enjoy more moments with her as she grows up.

2. You get to spoil them and give them back to their parents.

Who doesn't love giving a three year old sugar and then not having to deal with the hyperness? Me! It is pure joy to be able to buy my niece or get her hyper then hand her back to her mom.

3. You develop an unbreakable bond.

Because you aren't their parent you develop more of a friendship bond. You are able to laugh with them and do adventures that they can't do with their parents. You get to help them when they are sad or struggling. And be there for their best moments.

4. You get to show them how to be creative.

If you want to help them change their F into an A on their report card or show them the correct way to get cereal, you are able to. Shining light onto their creative abilities is part of your duty being their aunt/uncle.

5. The love you have for your little human is special.


Even if you have children of you own being aunt is special because the bond is special. Treasure the sacred time you have them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
