Has anyone ever tried a sugar free candy (or anything else) with isomalt in it? I picked up (and purchased) a package of sugar free Crystal Light chewy candy. They are packaged just like Starburst candies but are sugar free.

I’d like to say that I prioritize my life to include plenty of exercise and do things that are good for ME but alas I tend to put my kids ahead of myself. I’m not all that angelic though… I do find myself wasting plenty of time too. Facebook is evil that way, [...]

I hope no one worked too hard today, if they worked at all! I had a nice weekend — the family gathering was actually yesterday. My kids got to go fishing with their cousins while the adults played corn hole and took turns pushing Sarah on the swings.
We had a potluck for dinner [...]
