I am a big sister, eldest of 6, & the younger of my 2 sisters is a cross between my sister, my daughter & my best friend. I adore her & this made me miss her. Thank you x

“A cross between my sister, my daughter and my best friend.” What an accurate description 😂 I hope you get to connect with her soon!

We talk a lot but she lives in a different country so we only get to hang out a few times a year. We are still super close though :)

As a big sister, I loved this! I haven't made zuppa toscana in forever--need to make it ASAP! I just picked up "Shred Sisters" from the library this week. I know nothing about it, but I'm hoping it's good.

Big sisters UNITE!!!

“Her life doesn’t need fixed or tidied or dusted. Her life is good.” So good! And maybe these oldest daughters can also apply this sentiment to our own lives 😉

As a big sister who recently read Blue Sisters, I loved this! I can still hear each sister’s individual voice. Also, I really wish I could un-read the sexual fantasies in The Wedding People. I did not see those coming lol. Otherwise it was such a gem!

Love this essay. What a great older sister you are... I don't have one, but I think you've nailed it: we want you to see what we've made and be proud of us :D Also, so fun for the podcast serendipity re: LG + Anna Sale. Such a good quote.

RIGHT?! And I was listening to it while walking laps in the airport, getting my steps in at 4:00 am in oldest sibling fashion.

Fellow big sister here! 👋🏻 that zupa toscana looks divine, might bring it to Italian themed Friendsgiving on Friday!

I would like every Thanksgiving table to be Italian themed. What a genius idea!
