I&#8217;ve got the hookup for you. Don&#8217;t stop on the side of the road and spend a fortune on a big cheap red teddy bear and nasty wax filled candy. Instead, visit\u00a0a fabulous local p\u00e2tisserie. They&#8217;ll\u00a0save your day.<\/p>\n<p>To make you feel better about being late, I&#8217;ll admit, I am too! On my post, that is. I genuinely intended to put this up early in the week but life sort of obliterated my plans. Is it good that I&#8217;m getting used to being thwarted?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of getting stressed about my plans, I spent the afternoon with my little reader, making Valentine bookmarks. Usually I\u00a0lack talent in the crafting department but thankfully cut paper and ribbon tying is within my skill set.<\/p>\n<p>So, on to the saving of Valentine&#8217;s day!<\/p>\n<p>If you need chocolates or pastries, a local family business has both offerings all tied up in a bow. Literally. Karl&#8217;s Bakery and The Baker&#8217;s Daughter, located on 7th Avenue and Dunlap\u00a0are two deliciousness-filled destinations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-Sign.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3609\" title=\"Karl's Sign\" src=\"http:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-Sign-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-Sign-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-Sign-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-Sign-600x433.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whether your darling loves cream filled goodness&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.organicmamacafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Karls-creampuffs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3601\" title=\"Yes, it's REAL custard.
