Paige Smith Orloff invents sisterhood from scratch.
From the category archives:
I AM CONSTANTLY [choose one: bemused/ amused/ frustrated/ mystified] by the dynamics between my son, known around here as the River, and my daughter, aka the Rock. That mystery, or my sense that there must be one, only intensifies when I try to understand that most unique sibling relationship, that of twins (or, for that matter other multiples–say, how about those California octuplets?)

Cupcakes from Sarabakescakes.com would make a festive celebration.
W E’RE ONE MONTH old, we Sister Project sisters. Our celebration thus far has consisted mostly of commiseration, via Twitter, Skype and cellphone as we hurry to accomplish the myriad holiday chores we all face. Hopefully, come the New Year, we’ll gather together and raise a toast to our first month of life, and to everyone who’s joined us in this experiment in sisterhood. When we do celebrate, will there be a cake? [click to continue…]

I HAVE ALWAYS loved Thanksgiving. Growing up, the holiday was usually just the three of us–my mom and dad and only-child me. After my dad died, the holidays didn’t matter much to my mom, and so during the years we lived on opposite sides of the country, we often spent them apart.
Instead, I hosted big orphans’ dinners–meaning, of course, that anyone else without family summoning them home could gather at my place. My darling sister-in-spirit Leslie was my roommate and co-host for many of these feasts, sometimes for groups of more than 20, even when we lived in pretty small digs. [click to continue…]

THEY WANT TO BE IN PICTURES: From my Country Living story.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
