Who's Blogging Here?

In 'Hey, Little Sister,' as in life, Paige Smith Orloff multitasks: She is a writer and a cook, a wife and a mother…an only child faced with the charge of helping her daughter to be a good sister to Paige’s son. 'I’m not always sure I know how to do that, or even what it means,' she says. 'If I don’t know what a sister’s supposed to do or be, how in the world can I help her learn?' Paige, 42, may not have biological sisters, but she has picked up some soul sisters along the way, in a life that’s taken her from New York to Hollywood, and now (to the amusement of all who know her) to a farm in New York State.

Welcome to Our New Blog Network

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.
