I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Labor Day weekend here in the U.S. I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule on tomorrow. In the meantime, head over to Chic Chocolate where I shared my “beauty secrets” for her Makeup Monday series!

Tomorrow I have a special guest blogger, Simplified Bee, who is sharing with us valuable information on the impact of social media on your design business. Don’t miss it!

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
