Stepping away from my computer makes my mind spin. I wind up with so many thoughts of things that might be good topics to share here. I write in my head. Right now, more than anything, mothering is atop my list of thoughts, struggles & challenges. Seems as though I am not alone. Your feedback...
I spent a good part of my life (mostly my college years) wishing I lived somewhere else. Anywhere else. Colorado, specifically. I was so obsessed with my long distance love life that I neglected to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings. Now that I live in a place where the beauty must be actively searched...
There were a few things I knew I HAD to have when I became a mother…some of them I knew I had to have long before I ever got pregnant. I don’t know what happens to our brains (I should speak for myself, maybe I am the only one?) before we have kids. If you...
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...
Whew. That was a little deep. Ready for something perky not heavy? Yah, me too. I think my motivation for getting my own espresso machine came, at least in part, from my ridiculously long orders that the baristas at Starbucks can never get right. I am just a weeeeee bit particular about some things, and...
I’ve been debating whether or not to post this. I decided that I would because this is real. This is me. The blogs I follow diligently have real women behind them that reveal more than just the ‘tip of the iceberg.’ The pretty package tied with a bow that a blog can showcase is an...
Now, I don’t want any of you to think I am a master sew-er or anything. Nope. This is officially my 4th sewing project. I have never taken a class and I know nothing more than how to sew a reasonably straight line. That is all this project takes…and some math skills! The ceilings in...
I am going to start a bit of a series on how to be fashionable on a budget. Heather recently asked me to share some of the tricks I use to shop smart & stay fabulous. That’s just what I am going to do. I was raised by a bargain shopper & am certainly one...
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.
