I am a little late. A lot late. But I did *take* these on the 10th. I questioned why I was doing this ten on ten project this month…but what I realized is that it made me stop and look at the simple beauty of my crazy life. I had to look at each hour...
I come from a family of cooks. My mother cooks. My grandmother cooks. I inherited my love of cooking from all the women I watched prepare grand, from scratch meals for our family. It was always something they looked forward to & to sit down and enjoy a home-cooked holiday meal was my ‘normal.’ I...
what. a. day. The last 24 hours have been crazy. I had grand plans for today and then as swiftly as I put my babe to bed, they all went out the window. I’ll spare the details, but tonight as we put her to bed we asked her what she did last night & she...
As I sat down to write this post, I was reminded of the ridiculousness that was ME when I was preggers. I was not the ‘wait & buy it later’ kind of gal. I was the ‘got to have it NOW and might as well have FIVE in case I need them all’ kind…jeez. If...
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...
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...
There are a few things you should know before you read the rest of this post. I don’t workout everyday anymore. I have about 5 minutes to think about what I am going to do at the gym. I lose interest in exercise about 30 minutes into it. I modify everything to suit ME. Okay....
I was so eager to eat tonight that I devoured dinner without taking a picture. WHOOPS! Sometimes I don’t feel like cooking at all. Sometimes when it is hot, I don’t feel like eating cooked food. Often, I am tired of being in the kitchen so I need something fast but healthy. This meal fits...
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.
