I'll Hold It Up, Girls
Sinful Sisters Seeking Sainthood
We are 5 super close sisters who grew up in a Catholic family of 9 kids. We were homeschooled, we fought over friends and clothes and make up, but we’ve been the best of friends our entire lives.
We want to share our stories of what it was like growing up in a huge family, all the awkward homeschooler moments, the highs and lows of becoming wives and mothers, the loyal friendship we’ve given and received from one another from childhood through adulthood, and all the hilarious moments in between.
Why the Name?
When we Guzman girls were young, we had an epic Christmas where we were gifted a large box addressed to, "The Guzman Girls." We all tore off the wrapping paper to discover a much coveted Barbie Camper/RV! The oldest sister, Kim, proudly proclaimed, "I'll hold it up, girls" in showing off the camper to the videographer, our dad.
We each gave Kim so much crap for her initiative, laughing at the way she decided lift it up for all to see. It's become an inside joke of ours, whenever one of us helps the other, we will say in Kim's officious tone, "I'll hold it up, girls."
​
We are well aware of the highs and lows of being a wife and mom. Between the five of us, we have suffered through separation, divorce, eating disorders, infertility, cross country moves, kids with learning disabilities and so much more. But all along, we've had one another to "hold it up, girls."
​
Do you have someone to help hold you up? Would you like to join us as we navigate the trials and triumphs of surrendering the many worries and responsibilities as a wife and mother? Then tune in to our genuine, funny, and faithful conversations as we hold one another up through good times and bad.
