Ah, the drugfree childbirth article. Do you know how long this has been brewing in my head? Every time I think about it I smile, because every time I think about my last birth experience, I smile. It was beautiful. It was perfect. It was exactly what I prepared for it to be. Emphasis on...
Metadata: f/1.4, 1/160, ISO 1250 ••• There is so much about this “testing the light” image that I love. As many of my favorites are, this was not my intended shot. But it is everything warm and sweet and glowy about our earlier mornings on non-preschool days that I suddenly long for & appreciate so...
Metadata: f/1.4, 1/160, ISO 1250 ••• Notice anything different in that metadata??? :):):) I have a new baby. A new little beast in my aresenal. I have been wanting (and saving for) the 35mm f/1.4L for years…and she finally arrived. I am so so so excited–not only to have a prime L glass lens, but...
Part of my biggest challenge with welcoming baby number two into our home is the guilt. I always seem to feel like my girl is second fiddle. She’s not as needy as my little guy…she’s pretty darn self sufficient…& frankly, I just haven’t had the sleep to give me the energy to be the kind...
Metadata: instagram ••• Oh, there are so many words dancing in my head right now. The lack of time to write is making my head spin and I am in serious need of some cathartic writing time. Now’s not it, but it’s time to purge my brain. Many of you know I am in serious...
Well look at that. I have time to blog. In the middle of the day even. I think I hit the…jackpot! :) It’s hard to describe the first day of preschool. Bittersweet seems to be an understatement. I am so excited for her. So excited that she gets to have a life of her own...
Metadata: f/1.8, 1/50, ISO 6400 ••• Today I took this guy in for his six month checkup and expressed my concerns about his sleep situation to my doctor. She’s kind of a hippy. Definitely not into medicating. Passionate about nutrition. & she even feng shui-ed me to death about his crib placement. ha. But…I have...
SIX?!! Six months! Gosh. It really hasn’t flown by. I’d be lying if I said it did. I thought the mornings would be easier by now, but they are not. But, as cranky & tired as I may be, I am forever grateful to have a reason to get up in the middle of the...
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.
