Two years ago I was pregnant. I didn’t know I was pregnant, but I spent the whole day in the kitchen clomid-hot-flashing through cooking my first full Thanksgiving meal by myself. I passed up all that wine that flowed around the table (justincase….) & spent the day thankful, but sad. The one thing I wanted,...
Yep. Two days without my morning latte. You know something is up when that happens. I am five pounds lighter & feel like I got a whole body workout. Thank you lettuce-that-must-have-had-something-terrible-attached-to-your-leaves. I am just glad it is over & that the babe never skipped a beat. Crisis avoided. I spent a few hours in...
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...

One of the tasks I took on this year was shooting pictures for a friend’s christmas cards, then designing them for her. Well, I wanted to wait until they went out until I shared them here and off they went…so here’s what they look like! Mine are still sitting in a pile at the end...
Which also means it’s the busiest! I feel like I have been running non-stop, and my blog has been neglected. I still have to do my Christmas cards…they are here…just need addresses but for some reason this year, I am in no particular rush! Maybe that’s because it’s in the 70 outside and winter still...
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...
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.
