Sassy Silver Sisters

In looking back to my 20s, 30s, or 40s, I wish I had listened to wiser and older women about creating a life of meaning, creativity, and joy.  It would have saved me a lot of wasted time, grief, and misery. And it would have given me clarity, calmness, focus, and confidence as I journeyed through this tumultuous world of ours. Here are some truths that I want to share with women under 50. Please feel free to share this with your younger women friends and family. REMEMBER YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE - this is not a dress rehearsal. Use your time wisely and don't fritter away with things that really don't matter.  THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN A PERFECT BODY - By the time women get to their 40s, they've hopefully given up the notion that happiness exists within a certain shape or size.

We have a product review for you this week and it's all about using silicone pans / molds. I haven't used a silicone mold in a long time. I was looking for ways to make perfect whoopie pies and found these  muffin-top silicone pans  on Amazon. The title came up with whoopie pies and I bought them thinking they would work well.  Amazon.com: Walfos Silicone Whoopie Pie Baking Pans My first attempt was pumpkin whoopie pies.
