Maybe I am the only uncoordinated mother out there, but cleaning my girl’s booty has always been a challenge. From the time she was itty bitty & in the bathtub that went in the sink, I just couldn’t figure out the best way to hold her with one hand & hold/squeeze/squirt/set down the soap bottle...
Two years ago, during my corporate life, I earned a really big award. The reward for my work was a week long trip hopping around Germany, all expenses paid. My husband had just started his residency, so my plus one was my BFF. Let me tell you, you learn a lot about a person when...

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...

So a couple of weeks ago I asked you what you wanted more of…and I got one overwhelmingly consistent response: MORE RECIPES! Okay, okay! Now, I am no chef (Kelly Bensimon would call me a cook), but I seek tasty, healthy recipes to add to my “rotation” and have a nice little collection in my...
These words never quite get the response I want them to in my house. See, I say them with great enthusiasm and excitement. My husband reacts with an eye-roll and a prompt “how much is this going to cost” attitude. Just once it might be fun if he jumped up & down and said ‘YES...
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.
