HAVEN 2012: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

I'm Erika Ward

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.

[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or those of you attending Haven, the biggest DIY/Blogger conference of the year, please look for me in one of my two sessions taking place on Thursday and Friday, June 21-22. Check the schedule periodically for updates! I along with my creative minded cohorts, Sherry Hart of Design Indulgence Blog and Sherry Hart Designs and Darlene Weir of Fieldstone Hill Design will be discussing ways to define your personal style, providing tips on mixing high and low, and helping you to create an environment you love to come home to everyday.

The conference is SOLD OUT. Those of you who are existing ticket holders, please say hello if you see me. I’d love to meet you. For anyone who missed out this time, stay tuned to the blog. I’ll be posted updates and notes from our session and the many other informative sessions happening at Haven.

See you there!

The Haven Conference was created by some of the biggest names in the DIY/Home Blogging Community. If you are new to blogging, these blogs are very inspiring and are updated almost daily. Happy Reading!

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
