Here at WhipperBerry we like to take the simple things in life and create something beautiful out of it. We cook and create fun projects for the home and for holidays sometimes we even pepper in some home DIY. Basically we blog about life and how to make it beautiful!! Come meet Heather and the other contributors to WhipperBerry…
Heather
First and foremost… I am a wife and mother. Beyond that, I am a creative spirit who longs to be surrounded by flowing white linens and illuminated by the most delicate chandeliers. I choose to create with what I have… and place meaning behind what I create. I am a work in progress and that is how WhipperBerry came to be. I love to capture the simple beauty in life. Whether in my projects for the home, my creativity in the kitchen or in my photographs. Yes, I generally bake with a box mix because I am a realist and a mother of four and time is a precious commodity. I try to keep things simple so that I can share what is real to me. I blog because it pushes me to be my best self and the road to discovery has been a beautiful one.
Many people ask me where the name WhipperBerry came from and I wish I had a magical story to tell… I don't. I came up with it one day while trying to come up with a name for an esty shop. I wanted something fun and whimsical but something that represented me and who I am. We had just celebrated the birth of my little guy. He is the youngest of four with three big sisters so we needed to incorporate some boy into our very girly world. So, when I was coming up with a name I wanted a masculine term combined with a feminine term and that is how WhipperBerry came to be. It is Whippersnapper shortened with a dainty little berry added on the end!

I have been blessed to be surrounded by some amazingly talented people in my life who come to share their incredible talents here on WhipperBerry. Let me introduce you to them…
Whitney
Hi there. I’m Whitney, mother of two beautiful children and wife of a most extraordinary man. I genuinely consider myself one of the most fortunate women in the world because of these three. I love jazz music, j.crew, and most things that start with J. My passion for art started in high school and has continued throughout my life. After being terrified of my ability to support a family on an artist’s wage, I received my bachelor’s from Brigham Young University in Exercise Science. Since then, I have never used my degree to make a single penny, but have started a business in cake decorating and event styling.
Christene
Apprehensive and thrilled don’t often find themselves as neighbors in the same sentence, yet those are the feelings I have fluttering around inside as I introduce myself as the newest WhipperChick. Apprehensive because I have a whole lot of respect for the Ladies who you already know and love, and Thrilled at the thought of sharing with you the things that make me happy.
While I’m a native to Las Vegas, Nevada, I do a tight rope wobble along the fine line of down home country girl and high style elegance. I love the feel of cotton quilted into an heirloom cover you’d love to snuggle under. In the same breath there is a deep appreciation for the design and style of the modern age. Somewhere in between is where you’ll find me, and I love it here!
I’m lucky enough to be married to a handsome hardworking man for the last ten years with four of the cutest little kids you could ever ask for. A sigh of contentment wells up in my breast every time I look at them. A majority of my time is spent weaving a nest worthy of such blessings and when there’s a quiet moment, I write, sew, cook, read and craft. I love being creative.
Writing is my main love, but I’ll admit right now I have a little thing for cooking. My best days involve whipping up something yummy for my little family. There’s nothing as cheering as the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven, a roast melting into tenderness in the Crockpot or chicken noodle soup bubbling on the stove. I’m really good at finding recipes that turn into family favorites and I love hunting for them.
Danielle
Hi, I’m Danielle—a 30-something wife & mother of three, living in the good ole’ south. Tulsa to be exact. I’m silly and sarcastic, a sassy, but classy, girl that loves to laugh. My deepest passion lies in turning something blah into something oh-so-fabulous. Growing up, I never thought I had a creative bone in my body; little did I know that my creative side was just waiting to escape. I am the ultimate DIYer, and I get a feeling of euphoria while creating.
I love black licorice and cinnamon bears. I crave Mexican food daily. I’m sort of neurotic about hair. I grew up on a farm with LOTS of animals. I'm a list maker, but then proceed to lose them. I used to be shy… but not anymore. I’m quite the multi-tasker. I enjoy cooking/baking, but I almost always change every recipe I try. I wish I was more coordinated. I have commitment issues. I LOVE new shoes. I honestly haven’t decided what I want to be when I grow up. I am so honored to be a part of the Whipperberry team. Creativity is in my soul and I hope that I may share a little with you.
Sarah
Hi, I’m Sarah, a new transplant to Las Vegas, wife of a Superhero, mother of a loving yet annoying little dog, and a dying houseplant. Sadly, the plant is fake. I still think I am in my early twenties, but it turns out 27 is no longer considered early twenties.
Six months ago I stood looking at myself in the mirror with tears streaming down my face, and hated the image staring back at me. I tipped the scale at a whopping 261 pounds on my small 5’3” frame. I couldn’t even see a way out but knew I needed to change.
My life turned around completely when my mom and I were handed pink sports bras, pink shirts, the most awful black spandex shorts, and became the pink team for season 11 of NBC’s television show Biggest Loser. I am going through the most incredible transformation right now, and it would be far too selfish of me to keep my new found knowledge and wonderful Biggest Loser secrets and tips to myself.
I have learned so much about diet and exercise, and I can’t wait to share. There is also a mental and emotional side of struggles with weight that we can’t forget about. I still have a long way to go, and am excited to have you join me as I continue on this journey and share the information that I am so blessed to be receiving.
