After the hustle and bustle of a brand new school year combined with some exciting new project, I’m welcoming this long holiday weekend with open arms, aren’t you? 

Here are a few links that have caught my eye this week. Browse at your leisure whether you are relaxing on the beach or reclining in your favorite each chair. Be safe y’all engaging in your activity of choice and have a Happy Labor Day Weekend!

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
