Farrah's brand new BLOG! (http://farrahbraniff.com/blog/)

I am in one of my very favorite towns.  Steven surprised me with a weekend trip to San Francisco!  We've been here for a couple of days and, sadly, leave tomorrow.  One of the other reasons why this trip is so great is that I have been so busy lately that I feel like I have hardly seen Steven in the last month.  I finally go to bed and he's already asleep and then we rush out in the mornings.  When we're both home and awake, we're dealing with our kids.  The holiday season is always like this so being able to steal away for a few days and just hang out has been very, very cool.  So, what have we been doing?  We've been walking (ALOT! I love it!), eating, sleeping, drinking coffee, shopping and seeing a few of my friends who live here.

SF has great coffee shops...

Check out our amazing view!  How can you NOT love this incredible place?

On our first night we walked from Nob Hill through Chinatown and down to North Beach.  We went through the financial district and finally down to Union Square and back up to Nob Hill where we're staying.  Steven got a kick out of the stretch of Columbus Ave. where the strip clubs are.  It's pretty funny- great flashy signs, lots of neon and light bulbs) and hilarious names for the clubs.

We ate at my favorite Chinese food place.  The food is an incredible, creative blend of flavors and a they have a special hot tea with all kinds of stuff in it (flowers, leaves, etc).  It's fantastic!

And finally we made our way back to the hotel to be greeted again by our awesome view.

I know...I promised you a new blog today didn't I?  Well, I am sad to say that you have to wait just a few more days!  We've had one little technical glitch but it should be solved in a day or 2 and then the new blog will launch.  You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder!  I hope so because I sure have been absent these past few weeks.  I have so much to blog though so be patient with me and I'll post the new link in the next few days.  In the meantime, you can enjoy this amazing cuteness.

Hello everyone!  I have been a bad blogger these past few weeks.  The studio is crazy busy and we are deep in the holiday rush.  I wanted to let everyone know that next week (on Monday), I will be launching my brand new blog!  I'm very excited.  The new blog is going to have big wide images and a cool new design.  All of the previous content is being moved over so you will still be able to read old entries, Monday Lessons, etc.

I have lots of new sessions to blog, a review on a new point-and-shoot that I have been using and new pictures of my kids.  So, make sure and come back to the blog on Monday for sure to get the new link and info!
