Hey all! How was your Friday? I totally felt 10 pounds heavier and so much more dense; it’s been a problem. Since dealing with a post-Thanksgiving food coma, spending some quality time with family and friends, and a 4:30am wakeup call for work, this post is coming at you super late. My family is here and it has been wonderful exploring Charlotte with them. My brother is thinking about moving to Charlotte once he’s done with school, so I’ve been really trying to show him all the great stuff the Queen City has to offer.
Per usual, here’s what I’ve been loving this week. Feel free to chime in in the comments!
Sunflour Baking Company
Since taking a break from Whole30 (m0re on that next week), I’ve been hitting up my beloved Sunflour most mornings for some java. It’s also really hard to not get one of their pastries. They are definitely the best in the city!
I went with my friend Jen on Thanksgiving morning before our own families’ festivities and got my usual soy caramel cappuccino and a vanilla sugar roll. SO good!
Thank You Notes
For those of you who don’t know, but I am obsessed collect thank you note stationery. I visited our local Swoozie’s and completely fell in love with all of the different sets. Unfortunately, I’m broke as a joke and can’t afford $30 for 6 thank you notes. Maybe when I hit the lottery! I especially loved these:

November 28, 2015 at 8:38 AMHappy Thanksgiving, Sara! I know you had a wonderful time with your parents and brother (tell them I said hello).
And I totally get that post-Thanksgiving “dense” feeling … Joe and I are about to hit the canal path on our bikes to address that very problem.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Whole 30; I did it, too, but modified it to suit me.

November 28, 2015 at 7:31 PMI have yet to try that one! The only one I’ve tried so far is the sugar cookie one and it is soooo yummy. I can’t wait to break into the gingerbread one, I’ll have to let you know how it is!

November 29, 2015 at 9:33 AMI think that coffee and pastry sounds like a lovely way to start each day. You’re onto something there.
Also, I love notecards too. I’m thinking about creating my own with food pictures. Maybe one day…
