Well it’s January and who doesn’t love a fresh start? While some reject the idea of making a list of New Year’s Resolutions I find that when I write them down, I complete 90% of the list! The 10% I didn’t do will be on this year’s list (smile)*. So here goes…

This year I resolve to:

1. Not be embarrassed when my children throw temper tantrums in public.
2. Enjoy the simple things in life.
3. Continually challenge myself in the area of creativity.
4. Keep a (rough) daily schedule for myself and the family.
5. Not be preggers this year and look forward to returning to my “former glory*.”
6. Enjoy a weekly date night with the husband even if it’s just a candlelight dinner at home.
7. Travel more, now that I’ve made a decision regarding #5.
8. Make good use of every room in my house.
9. Make someone’s day, everyday.
10. Organize more play dates for my munchkins as well as for myself!

*BONUS* Make 2010 the best year ever!

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
