Hello Everyone!
I’m back from New York on my day adventure to The Nate Show where I was a part of the studio audience along with 90+ design bloggers…oh, what a feeling! This morning, I’m getting the twins ready for their first day of preschool and will be back later with a recap from my trip!

Take these last few hours to register to win the Harlem Toile de Jouy Giveaway. These glasses are limited edition and are so beautiful that I hate to give them away! Winner will be announced today.

Have a great day!  Chat soon!

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
