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 !
