who’ s that girl

six sisters’ stuff

Having a sibling may be a bit challenging sometimes. But what if you had 5 of them, and all sisters?! Camille, Kristen, Elyse, Steph, Lauren and Kendra not only love being a big family, they are also the best friends and ' sisters in crime '- in their joint company.
What was it like growing up in a house full of girls? It was definitely wild and crazy at times. Finding space in the 3 bathrooms in our house was always a challenge as we were getting ready in the mornings. And there were plenty of fights about clothes, accessories, boys, and curfews- but our parents were really patient with us( our dad especially). We couldn’ t stand each other some days, but our mom always told us that one day we would become the best friends- and she was right.
What are the pros and cons of having so many siblings right now, as a grown-up? We think it is nice now that we are grown-up, because we are more rational about things. And like we said earlier, we are definitely the best friends. We enjoy being siblings now more than ever.
Has any of you been thinking of following your parents’ example and have more than 5 children? Right now, we don’ t know! None of us have expressed wanting to have HUGE families, but you could dare say that a few of us might have at least 5 children!
You have now 2 successful blogs, an online store with e-books for bloggers, you’ ve been featured on TV and you have a new cookbook. Do you ladies have your own jobs? All of our projects are increasingly time-consuming. In addition to those projects, we just recently launched a new website, which is taking a lot of our time as well. We all work solely for SSS now- the two sisters that were in college quit their jobs to focus more on all of our projects, and we are still running to keep up with everything!
