I have always loved piccata. I used to order it at restaurants as a teenager and pick all the capers off. It was not until a few years ago that I got brave enough to taste one of the berries and boy oh boy, was it love at first bite. If you have never had...
Unlike cloth diapering, making my own baby food was something I have known I would do for years. I have a “system” (you’ll see this theme with me) for making, carrying, storing & feeding the baby food I make and it is easier than you probably think. Would you believe me if I told you...
I received a phone call from my husband yesterday: “Babe, I want something really good for dinner.” “Okay. We have something really good for dinner every night. Sooo….?

Ahhhhh the holiday treats continue! I have taken a brief break from the world of design to embrace my inner pastry chef and made heavenly chocolate mousse for a Christmas Eve get together. It was a huge hit & I thought I would share! It is from A Taste of Home and is delicious! I...
Baking is to me, what alcohol is to most: a relaxer, stress reliever, giant distraction from my life…which is why I do it so often! I rarely eat what I bake, but THIS was a major exception! I’ll admit it…I stalk Alexis Stewart’s blog. She is an amazingly talented baker and always shares her resources....
Well…my little challenge was a success! I wanted to prove to myself that I could make an entire Thanksgiving Dinner myself so I asked my guests to come bearing alcohol alone! And…I did it! We had Turkey, Dressing, Gravy, Sweet Potato Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh baked rolls, green beans & pumpkin cheesecake with fresh whipped...
You know that feeling when you realize you have been doing something completely wrong? Something that could have been done much easier?!? Sheesh. Turns out I have been peeling & cutting onions the wrong way my entire life! I took a cooking class at the fabulous central market a couple weeks ago and learned a...
Hi! Hello! I am Shawna, the founder of Styleberry Blog. This creative corner of the internet has become a learning haven for moms and creatives, offering a warm and encouraging nudge to those who wish to be better and do better, but often don't know where to start. From Decorating to DIY to Diapers and Paleo-ish Dishes, I strive to make the complicated simple and empower women to take action beyond their personal comfort zone. I subscribe to the Shine Theory & so strongly believe that we shine when the women around us shine and mutual support—lifting up instead of tearing down--will always be the culture here. Are you in? I hope so! Beyond the computer, I run Styleberry Creativewhere I work with clients to create low fuss, high function spaces that are pretty and practical in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. I LOVE making a house a home. My own studs out renovation is almost complete and I am now back to working with clients. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you'd like to work together! I hope you’ll join me on this fun new adventure! Xo.
