I can hardly believe in two weeks [or less] I’ll be cradling a precious little newborn just in time for Christmas. This month alone has been super sweet from celebrating the completion of our Room Service Atlanta 2012 service project at United Methodist Children’s Home, to celebrating my 33rd birthday, and having not one, but two baby showers!

The first shower was planned by four of my best girlfriends, the second by my husband. GASP… I know…and he did an amazing job, too! Unfortunately, I don’t have photos to prove it.

I do, however, have photos of the 1st shower thanks to BFF Mimi.  My shower even had an hashtag on instagram. Just search #babyWardShower. That’s what happens when you gather together with a bunch of social media mavens!

Here are snippets from my memorable event:
Lord knows I appreciate all my family and friends (virtual ones, too) for their kindness towards me and my family during my pregnancy. Though this is our 4th little blessing. I’m excited as if it was the first. *giggles*

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
