The day of chocolates, flowers, and dinners with far too many expectations (and prix fix menus) is upon us-Valentine’s Day! It’s time to uncover shoe boxes for decorating, and it’s time for candid expressions of how your child feels about their classmates as they address each little card.

But before you head to the drugstore to buy stacks of die-cut cards decked with cartoon characters perhaps the folks at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation can tempt you with greetings from St. Louis’s favorite furry friend-Rally Squirrel.

We have the scoop on some big changes coming to St Louis Italian Kitchen, Mad Tomato.
