About Erika

Greetings! My name is Erika. Welcome to erikaliving.com/blog. You made it. Well, you might be asking how did I stumble here? Oh, wait. Another blog. But wait. I’m glad you’re here and I wanted to invite you to all things extraordinary… For the last twenty-four years, I’ve lived in sunny Southern California and have been inspired by home design for every budget, everything that encapsulates our small winery community and treasures found along the way. I am obsessed with every detail of a home. Inside. Outside. Even the garage that tends to lend itself to an “everything” catch-all. Being a mom of four and married twenty-four years sure makes me an expert in just about everything domestic (or I’d like to think so). So naturally, I just wanted to share. With. You. Topple that with a bit of food, travel, parenting and laughter, this site may just beguile your senses. When not parenting kids, convincing our dog to “leave it” and enjoying time in the spa, you can find me trying to figure out the blogging community as a newbie. My background is in psychology, previously working with families in the clinical setting. No. You won’t find me dispensing psychological suggestions here. Just pure passion for everything home + lifestyle (this is my outlet)! So, relax. Grab your favorite cup of something cozy and stay awhile. You may just learn something useful, and it doesn’t hurt to visit “Walter’s Corner” and follow our adventures with our adorable Bernedoodle. He tends to elicit smiles on the regular with his quirky antics! Take care, erika
