Time flies when having fun with Lady Erin, host of  Bag Ladies Radio and Danielle Gray, founding editor of TheStyleandBeautyDoctor.com. Tuesday night we lit up internet airways talking about the latest in fashion, beauty, celebrity gossip, and my specialty, home decor!

Bag Ladies Radio is currently in the midst of their series appropriately entitled, “The Reality of the Holidays” with last night’s focus being on styling your home for the holidays. On the show I shared my opinions about current trends in holiday decor, non-traditional holiday decorating tips, decorating your home when it’s for sale, and why you should never sacrifice your personal style for sake of holiday decorating.

My thirty minutes on air practically flew by!

This was my second time being featured on the show; I spoke last year on the same topic. In case you missed it,  click here to listen to last night’s show. I come in at 18:00…Enjoy!

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
