Miss Maggie & I were committed to what would [sadly] be our last baking date in Omaha…and we decided to tackle not just one, but TWO Martha Recipes! This was the first, a birthday cake for Sandy. We were joined by the lovely Annie, who kept us entertained with tidbits from the latest publication of...
Sooo…if you ever have a Martha-ish question and you want to know the official answer, I have found a direct line to THE expert. The background: a friend & I, who love spending afternoons browsing the Martha Baking Handbook, were looking for new recipes to try. Maggie wanted to try Martha’s particularly difficult recipe for...
My girlfriends & I spent a lovely weekend afternoon browsing the aisles of Sur La Table, getting inspired for our upcoming baking extravaganza.

I know, it has been a while! I have been traveling heavily this January, spending 12 of the last 26 days on the road…and trying to plan a cross-country move when time allows. Life has been a little hectic, but I have sat on enough planes (six, to be exact) to thoroughly catch up on...
Today is my husband’s birthday and to spoil his chocoholic side I decided to make him a super special cake for his birthday. Six cakes to be exact. The recipe for Martha’s Warm Chocolate Cakes was highly recommended to me by Ms. Maggie and I wanted to give it a whirl. (I am not ignoring...
This weekend while in Chicago, we had breakfast at this cute little bakery called the Corner Bakery which was (surprise) on a corner just up from our hotel at 123 Wacker Street. I grabbed the Cinnamon Pecan Rugalach thinking they looked yummy and was curious having never tasted Rugalach before. MmmmmmMmmmm were they good! After...
Since I have discovered how much baking (especially baking to the sound of Christmas music, woah Sirius channel 2!!) calms me down, I have increased the volume of my production! I decided that my Christmas wish list included the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I was talked out of it when I was originally registering for wedding...
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.
