“ FAMILY gives us roots and wings ”
You all live at different places - how do you coordinate working on your blog ? For this past year , we have all been in Northern Utah , which has been really nice . It is much easier to coordinate when you only live a hundred miles from each other as opposed to a couple thousand . Right now , we meet about once a week in person . We are enjoying the close proximity right now , but we know it won ’ t last long , and it will be back to the conference calls !
Are you all on the same page , or do you sometimes argue about the way your blog should be ? We have just recently gone through a remodel of our blog , and it took quite a few tries to make everyone happy - and even then , some people had to settle for something they didn ’ t like so they could have another design they really loved . We are usually pretty good about equally giving and taking , but occasionally , we just can ’ t seem to get on the same page . That ’ s when our dad comes in - he is really good about smoothing things over and making sure everyone ’ s voice is heard . We are still working on quite a few projects right now , but this summer we are planning on taking it all a little slower - to enjoy the time with our kids while they are out of school and hopefully some sunshine too !
Your projects are mainly about food - do you all have the same taste ? What are your fave meals and when did you start with cooking ? We all LOVE food ! But we differ in our tastes . One sister focuses on more healthy meals , a few of us are dessert junkies , and the oldest sisters come up with EXCELLENT main dishes ! One of our most favorite meals in probably the Honey Lime Enchiladas - they taste amazing , and they are so easy to throw together . Most of us didn ’ t start making meals until we left the house because our mom always took care of the cooking ! When we did start to cook for ourselves after we moved away from home , we started out really simple - with slow cooker meals . It was just so easy to throw all the ingredients into the pot and let them cook all day ( and you really can ’ t mess up cooking with a slow cooker !).
What ’ s next for the Six Sisters ? Right now , we are just working on keeping up with our projects , and preparing for our annual blog conference in February ( great things are already in the works !). We are just enjoying the summer , and hopefully we will start working on book number two sometime next year !
