Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 6400 ••• Gone are the five hour stretches of sleep. We are back to four. If I am lucky. & I am tired. I can’t put my baby down when I am home. He won’t sleep longer than 45 minutes during the day. He wants to eat nonstop. He cries &...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 1000 ••• Oh, this boy. He’s way ahead of the game. Since he was little he’s been on this insane growth curve. He’s huge & his physical development is advanced. And well looky here. He’s sitting. Which began at 4 months + 1 week. I’m not ready for this! But we’ve...
I am a huge fan of swaddling. I cannot even begin to count the number of hours of sleep I have enjoyed thanks to a good swaddle–both of my babies took to it very well. When Caroline was 4 months old, she was snugly wrapped in a Miracle Blanket, with a fleece SwaddleMe on top...
Oh, where to begin. Sweet Irma. Irma is the designer behind Gifts Define & our paths crossed three years ago as I was planning caroline’s nursery. I found her in an etsy search & knew instantly that her work had a place in my home. I have never been one to decorate out of a...
I’m itching. Itching to dig into these images I have from my sweet, tiny newborn. He’s now over twice as big as he was. & it makes me sad. Last week Stephanie posted this on The Creative Mama and it brought me to tears. It is my favorite. Ever. Caroline watches it at least five...
Moby & I had a very brief and unfulfilling relationship two and a half years ago. I wanted him to be a certain way and he wasn’t. I didn’t try hard enough. I wasn’t willing to bend. It wasn’t his fault. But he was just wrong. So we broke up. But…we have recently rekindled things...
Wishing you the loveliest of days with your beautiful families. How lucky we are to be called “mama.”:) xoxo (images above by the talented Kate L Photography…she gave me such a gift!!) P.S. FuzziBunz is celebrating us mamas & offering 5% off and free shipping through the end of the day today, Sunday 5/13. Just...
Ahhhh. Nothing is quite as humbling as parenting. I’ve made no secret about struggling with my little guy. He’s the polar opposite infant than my caroline was. He’s restless. He cries. He doesn’t go back to sleep. He’s up every hour. He wants to be held. He fights the swaddle. He hates the car seat....
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.
