Today, when I needed to smile the most, I got mail. Not just any mail, Studio Mela mail. & it is perfect. Despite having the most emotionally taxing weekend of my life, I smiled. This is not a week that I am ever going to want to remember, but at least I can remember that...
If you follow me over on facebook, you know just how long this project took. I worked FOREVER on it. Meet my Blurb Book. Our first family album. It took 18 nights. At least 4 hours a night. But I will say…a lot of that is because many of the images inside were not edited,...
A few years ago I decided I was going to be a vegetarian. I came to this conclusion after one of my many 400 mile commute days…where I cruised from Nebraska through South Dakota…had my company-paid-for vegetarian dinner, then made my way back home to Nebraska. Then I told my husband about my plan. If...
Have you been using Grocery IQ to scan every item in your pantry yet?! They should have added a warning label to that app…ADDICTING!! OK…on to FOOD! Despite spacing these kitchen posts out a bit, I have been cooking meals every night! I have just been so busy that I have been photographing & then...
It appears what I do in my kitchen is of great interest to you all…so this week…we’re diving in. I’m going to take you with me through planning, prep & shopping done my way! If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I believe in REAL food. I buy real butter and real sugar. Real...
Ok. So if you follow me on facebook, you know that I often update at 2am. I am crazy like that. My brain doesn’t start really going until about 10pm…& my productive (for-mama-only) hours are 10pm-2am. You read that right. That is my very precious chunk of the day when everyone is sleeping & I...
I am visual. DUH. But I hate paper! I despise the clutter & try to be as paperless as possible. One of the BIG ways that I stay paperless & on top of things is with iCal, my digital calendar. I set email reminders for birthdays. I set appointment reminders. I have alarms that go...
Sometimes there is just nothing better than getting your hands dirty. I find painting so soothing. I love doing it. I like to think & process & love the quiet. I have painted every wall of every home I have owned…with my two hands (& a bit of help.) I come from a long line...
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.
