SISTERLESS AS I AM, all my original lessons on sisterhood came from my sweet, sweet Mama. Here she is in 1981 with baby Brother T. Of course, I still catch her gazing at him with that exact same adoration now 30 years later. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas (and mama’s boys)!

YOU MAY REMEMBER from a while back, a little post I wrote about the ever-adorable brother and sister team Tessa and LB from the blog Pacing the Panic Room. Well nowadays Tessa is already one and her daddio just recently put together this video chronicling the lil’ peanut’s growth in the womb. I find it endlessly cute when LB shows up in the photos. Big bros rule!

THIS IS ALSO kind of old news. (Sorry friends.) But surely it’s not too late for me to express my deep sadness over the closing of St. Vincent’s Hospital in downtown Manhattan after serving the public for 160 years. St. Vincent’s was the only hospital in NYC that supported home births, and since closing, it is now be illegal for more than half of New York City’s licensed midwives to deliver babies at home.

OY, I’VE GOT IT bad. As I round the quarter-century bend in my life, some primordial alarm clock within me is screaming. (Anyone else?) I nearly burst into tears at the sight of this awesome eco-friendly onsie (as modeled by little guy J from Marvelous Kiddo with his big bro in the background). It’s from the Scandinavian children’s clothier Vyssan Lull. Why is it that Scandinavians are so endlessly cool?

NOTHING MAKES ME feel more festive/delighted than seeing little children in freaky Halloween costumes! And that’s the very reason that I can’t stop looking at this slideshow on The Huffington Post. Ah, chicken alien baby, you are so cute. Happy almost Halloween!

TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AGO today I was caught by my midwife, Anastasia. (We’re together on the left.) She took the ferry from Burlington, Vermont to my parents’ farmhouse in the Adirondacks when no one else would, because 24 years ago home births were illegal in New York State. So to celebrate my midwife and my namesake on the anniversary of our heartfelt meeting, I put together a little slideshow of newborns and their women who helped bring them into the world. It’s a sisterhood I’m so grateful to be a part of! [click to continue…]

TOGETHER AT A RECENT WEDDING, T AND ME.
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.
