Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 640 ••• Our big ultrasound is in a few days. & we’re going in with one demand: DO NOT TELL US THE GENDER. Though we’re completely Type A…this is one surprise we both love. But don’t think we’re unprepared. Oh, no. We’ve got the names all picked out. (They’re a secret–from...
& this was the recipe that proved my husband will eat PUMPKIN. Oh, yes. I’ve spent 14 years listening to “is that pumpkin, no thanks” every single Fall and O.M.G. Guess who can’t keep his hands off these?! Not only are they a hit with adults in this house, but I spent a nice chunk...
It’s a really tough balance. Get behind the camera or enjoy the life we live? It’s one thing that I still haven’t figured out. I want my babies to remember me as part of the moment…not the one with the black box attached to her face running alongside the action. Should I bring it? or...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 3200 ••• My camera and I have not been friends lately. I think I’ve taken about a dozen images in the last month. This little one is not so much cooperative. Which, is just another lovely part of this journey. ;) Hope your life behind the lens is experiencing a wee...
I’ve realized that about half of my projects actually make it to the blog these days. I am just busy busy & find that I don’t have the time that I used to to sit down & write! But I made a promise to myself that I’d let go a little & post stuff–even if...
It came & went. As fast as she was one, she was two. & that day, I had the perfect words. I wrote them in her pink moleskine journal that I’ve been writing in since she was born & in that journal they will stay. Words from mother to daughter. Just for her. & no...
Metadata: lensbaby, 1/125, ISO 3200 ••• It’s all coming together. First, the pregnancy. Then, the right “midwife trapped in the body of an OBGYN” doctor. Now, the doula. I am so excited for a second chance at childbirth & am assuming a lot more responsibility this time. I am reading more. Learning more. Talking about...
Dare I say the 2nd trimester energy has arrived? I’m on day two of staying up past 10pm. Might have something to do with my girl sleeping until 9am in the morning (this kind of growth spurt I can get used to!!) but either way, I’ll take it! I’ve finally found some time to get...
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.
