Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers out there! I want to share with you a special project by Jen Ramos of Made By Girl appropriately named Cartas de Amor (means ‘Love Letters’ in Spanish). She asked 18 bloggers, including myself, to share with everyone a love letter (old or new) from their special someone.

In this digital magazine she’s pulled together a beautiful display of love letters, gifts ideas, and delicious dessert recipes to prepare and enjoy with your sweetheart.

My husband and I both believe that demonstrations of love should happen DAILY. There’s no need to try and cram all of the great ideas found in Cartas de Amor into one day. Make it a point to show someone you care throughout the year. After all, Grammy loves kiss too! Click here to read.

 

Love to All!

Erika

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
