Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 1250 ••• My daughter is a spitting image of her father. She is 99% the physical version of him. Their baby pictures are freakishly the same. Their expressions, smile, teeth, eyes, skin tone, hair…everything is identical. BUT…she has my knuckly hands & my feet. :) We both have the weirdest...
Oh my. It’s that time again. The 8th of the month has passed…time to get in front of the camera! I started my [this much] project with one goal in mind: get pictures of me & my girl. We never have enough. I am SO THANKFUL that this project forces me to set the self...
Breastfeeding is hard. Anyone who tells you it isn’t is either lying or trying to make you feel bad…& I don’t tolerate either. And even if by some stroke of really good luck, breastfeeding is physically easy, then there is the time factor. Breastfeeding takes a TON of time. Pumping, feeding, storing, transporting, heating. I’ll...

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 3200 ••• I’ve got tons going on & lots to come. Finishing up styleberryKITCHEN (breakfast!!) on Monday & have fun things on the blog-genda: my DIY picture ledges (& how to order the right prints) in the playroom, DIY playroom pillows, my breastfeeding/milk storage story, the ZoLi SUMO, babywise & more....
I have become delete happy. Yep. I am deleting left & right to remove clutter from my life & computer…problem is…I have deleted images that I intended to edit. OOooopsie! So you will have to use your imagination on this one. I had a beautiful image. A nice juicy sandwich with a side of glistening...

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.
