 Hey guys, welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today I'm doing something very different. It's my first Q and A of all the questions that you've asked me in the last year. So sit back, relax, you're not gonna wanna miss it. So I'm Kristen, I am the second sister from SixSisterStuff.com, and I usually don't get real personal on my YouTube channel because I do a lot of food, and when people come to watch a recipe they kinda just want the recipe, and that's about it. So today's just a little bit different, mostly because I wanna give a big shout out and a big thank you. Six Sister Stuff YouTube hit 100,000 subscribers. So thanks so much for following along and all of your sweet comments, I really do appreciate it. So the reason I did this, I've had a few friends comment saying that no one knows who you are, no one knows anything about you. So that's why I decided to do my thank you and the Q and A kind of all together. So first off, I, like I say in almost all my videos, I am sister number two, or the second sister, because I am the second oldest, we range from ages 34 all the way down to 22. There are six of us, and my most common question that I get is are you really all sisters? So the answer to that is yes, we are all sisters, no we are not sister wives, no we are not sister in laws, we are all sisters, there's six of us, same parents, and there are no brothers. Just a little bit about me, I am married and I have four little girls and my family is just the joy of my life. I absolutely love my little family. We do everything together. We have moved many, many times over the last 12 years, my husband did the whole medical school route so he actually started with a five year undergrad in Utah, a one year master's program in Arizona. Two years of medical school in Missouri and then we bounced and we did two more years of medical school in Utah. Then we did one year of residency in Indiana and the last three years of residency in Texas. We just moved to Sacramento, California and he's doing a one year fellowship. So if you're understanding this right, yes it's just one year and we'll probably move again to a different state because we like to bounce. Just some things about me, I had never really done videos until about 11 months ago so this is all new. I'm slowly getting the hang of things so thank you so much for dealing with me and my sound and it's off sometimes and I just really appreciate your kind comments because I'm really just figuring this stuff all out. Some of the things I love to do is that I love to be outside whether it's biking, hiking. I especially love running. I've run a few marathons and many, many half marathons. I love to be with my girls. They play multiple sports. They're involved in lots of things and so they take up a lot of my time but I love going to those activities with them. All right, so now on to my sisters. So in 2011, my sisters and I, we started a blog called six sisters stuff.com. Now there we would share recipes or tips or tricks or crafts. We shared all kinds of stuff but as time went on, we decided to just focus a little more on the food side. We love food. We love going to restaurants. We love pretty much eating anything delicious and so that's why we've kind of stuck to the food side of things. Now I get a lot of questions like how does your blog support you? How do you not have another job? Our blog actually supports me and my five sisters and my mom as full-time employees and we also have other employees too to help us with social media and other things that we have going on. So we have six published cookbooks right now and this is our newest one, Copycat Cooking, it comes out on September 4th so it is almost out. You can pre-order it right now. I'll put a link in the description for you so you can go check it out. So I get a lot of comments asking why I'm the only sister on YouTube. Now the sisters, they have other jobs. We have sisters who are in charge of all the social media, sisters who are in charge of posts. We still have to post to our website almost every day. We have book signings and meetings and speaking opportunities. We are creating books constantly whether it's eBooks or normal cookbooks and so me, I am in charge of the videos so not only do I do videos on YouTube I also make the videos for our Facebook and kind of manage the Facebook. So I'm kind of the video queen and I really wanted to just jump on to YouTube because it was something new and I just wanted some sort of a challenge. So that's the reason why you mostly see me on YouTube. You will see some sisters some weeks depending on either the company we're working for or someone has filmed some videos for us but the majority of the time you'll mostly see me. I wanna say one of my biggest complaints is that I only share Instant Pot videos and people get really frustrated with that. Now the reason I do that is because when I would post an Instant Pot recipe on our website I would have about a hundred questions to answer and I just didn't have time for that so I decided I was gonna focus on the Instant Pot on the video because people will become more comfortable and they'll be able to make the recipe easier if they are watching me do it. So that's one reason I decided to do an Instant Pot Monday so every Monday you'll get a new Instant Pot recipe making my life easier and hopefully your life easier too. Another one of the most common questions that I get is what is my favorite Instant Pot recipe? Now this changes, I swear, almost week to week. One of them is the sticky chicken. My family loves that and is so happy every time I make sticky chicken. I like to go a little bit on the healthier side. I love the sweet potato soup and I also love the chicken and rice bowls because it's so easy. I can do it all in 10 minutes and dinner is ready. All right you guys, that is all I have for my Q and A and again, thank you so much for subscribing and following and just all of your kind comments. I really, really appreciate it. I'll see you next Monday for our Instant Pot recipe. See you guys, bye.
