Super Bowl Sunday brings joy to some and irritation to others.  For me and my house we will be tuned in and also celebrating my husband’s birthday.  The festivities will take place here in our basement…

Just kidding…This is NOT our basement, but hopefully one day. I’ve begun to gather inspiration photos for this space and I’ve added this one to the file.  What I like most about this space are the wood panelling on the walls and the sports memoribilia on the wall.  I hate for my husband’s stuff to be sitting in boxes when it really should be on display for us all to enjoy.  He works very hard and I would love for him to have a space where he and his manly men can gather and do all of the gross stuff that men do!

…And with five television screens, maybe I can spend some quality time with him watching the game and simultaneously watch an episode of Design, Inc. on the lower right hand monitor.  A girl can dream, can’t she?  
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and to the fellow football lovers out there, may the best team win! See you on Monday.

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
