What The Aunties Did, November 2016

December 4, 2016Leave a comment

November has been a pretty special month for us – Auntie Jackie (our Auntie-In-Charge) retired from her teaching position and became a fulltime, hands-on, roll-your-sleeves-up auntie.

It is my extraordinary privilege to have curated a group of people, in the last three years, I call the Aunties.
