With weeks of preparation and hours spent in the kitchen, how do you make this Thanksgiving more memorable than the rest? Will guests remember the mile-long buffet of scrumptious dishes? Or is it the carefully chosen dinnerware or the meticulous attention to every detail that will have them recounting memories for years to come?

A memorable Thanksgiving dinner may very well include all the above, but there is another element that will make this year like none of the rest: your guests.

Showering your guests with thanks will make them feel like they have a place setting as gorgeous as this one, even if you are handing them a paper plate.

Tip: It does not have to be expensive to be beautiful. This table setting was pulled together using items from antique shops and a local thrift store.

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
