Busy Busy. Life with a toddler just never slows down. We’re on the HIGH INTENSITY part of this ride & we’re barely coming up for air. Another month has passed. My girl seems to have more energy as the days go by. How does that happen?! We just got back from a 1200 mile family...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/2500, ISO 200 ••• Well. We are definitely approaching two. & I am learning lessons about both myself and my daughter. She is trying everything under the sun to get her way around here & I can totally see how moms give in & let their kids have what they want. It’s pretty...
Infertility is a topic very near & dear to my heart. We don’t often talk about it. We think it’s our private battle. We tear up every time we hear the words “I’m pregnant” wondering why we aren’t. Why did it happen so easily for her? What is wrong with me? Why is this happening...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 1600 ••• Oh. My. This image makes me laugh. Well…now I can laugh. I did not laugh then. Why? Because what do you think happened about a second after I took that picture? I’ll give you one guess. Yep. Had to make myself another coffee. & clean this one off the...
Sometimes…I sit & am thankful for this blog because it forces me to have a timeline for my projects. Holidays sure sneak up on me. This is no exception. Somehow, carroline did not wind up with an Easter basket of her own last year, so this year I decided to fix that. I wanted something...
Last week I spent an entire SEVEN days away from my computer. Oh it was so nice. I was back in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born there. Raised there. Met my husband there. Graduated from college there. Got married there. There are so many memories in the San Ramon Valley. They are...
I am a little behind. In so many more ways than one. There are some fun things happening in my life & I am trying to do my best to multi-task & pay appropriate attention to everything. :) The hour after dinner used to be my most draining hour. Now it is the one I...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/400, ISO 640 ••• Back when I was a babysitter I looked at the “routine” as a job. I mean, who could possibly enjoy the “work” like changing a dirty diaper? So mundane. So boring. What I wasn’t then, that I am now, is a mother. As my due date drew near, I...
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.
