How ’bout a recipe/link for those yummy looking treats?? It looks like ice cream! Thanks for the Valentine’s card ideas, too. Can’t wait to get into some of them w/my little one =)
The link is listed under recipes as Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches. They do look yummy.
Sorry! Apparently I didn’t scroll for the whole post…THANKS!
My suggestion is to send an ecard from Care2.com, http://www.care2.com/send/catvalentine1.html.
Sending a Valentine Card generates a donation for a good cause and will brighten someone’s day.
We found fabulous little muffin cups (silicone) and a muffin cake pan (silicone) that we use for GFCF muffin mixes. They are a hit in our house.
Care2.com has free electronic valentines, including special ones for kids to give to mom and dad, at http://www.care2.com/send/catvalentine1.html
