Metadata: f/2.8, 1/160, ISO 6400 ••• Is there anything about a two year old that doesn’t test patience?? I have yet to find it. She always wants more. When I want less. Then I want more. & she wants none at all. & sometimes, I am just too tired to be patient with her. But...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/200, ISO 1600 ••• I was in tears over lunch today. Sleep deprived. Exhausted. Husbandless for the day & night again & my lunch date was too. Our husbands work together & we just…empathized. Two, by yourself, is hard. & neither of us are very good at asking for help. Nor do we...

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/320, ISO 1600 ••• I am often an overcommitt-er. & when I am, I get SUPER cranky. Then my kiddies get cranky. & it’s all downhill from there. I’ve been trying very hard to really pare down my commitments lately. I like free days. I like wiggle room. & I NEED it to...

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.
