With the wedding countdown clock ticking faster than ever, it was time to call in the troops: THE AUNTIES.

Step One: Bust out a lovely Italian spread. Antipasto preferred.

Step Two: Discuss how in the world you’re going to accomplish the tasks at hand. Namely, how you’re going to eat the food AND put labels on water bottles.

Step Three: Talk some more. Details are important. Bonus points for talking with your hands.

Step Four: Shut up and get to work. Minus Sue in the background there. Apparently there’s still some eating to be done.

Step Five: Show Miss Seashell what multi-tasking is all about. Eat AND adhere labels.

Step Six: Be proud of your role; de-labeler, labeler, talker, or eater - you are important! Miss Seashell says so!

Step Seven: Oh, wait. Eat some more.

Step Eight: Show off your Vanna skills. You are a model too!

Step Nine: Make it happen!

Step Ten: Just when you think it’s over, it ain’t over. Sneak in one more project before they hit the road.

And that’s how our water bottles got labeled and Jordan almonds got wrapped!

All joking aside, I owe my “aunties” and Mama Seashell a huge THANK YOU for stepping in and getting these projects done. I am extremely grateful to have so many willing and helpful people in my life. (I hope you all had a fun afternoon despite being put to work. I know you made Justine proud.)

Have you received help from extended circles of friends and family?
