Welcome to My Living Room (and My Brain)

You’ve stumbled into a curious little corner of the internet—part law office, part yarn basket, part sanctuary.

I’m Erika: civil rights attorney by day, crocheter and cat mama by night. I fight for justice in school systems and stitch my way through the weight of it all. My life is full of legal matters, cozy cardigans, adventures with my wonderful husband, and two opinionated cats named Merida and Eddy.

This blog is where all those threads come together.

Here, you’ll find:

  • reflections on the sacred work of advocacy,
  • glimpses of healing through yarn and faith,
  • and updates from the couch, where Merida naps and Eddy plots world domination.

I believe in rest as resistance, softness as strength, and creating things that last—whether it’s case law or a granny square dress.

So come on in. Grab your favorite mug. There’s yarn on the armrest, grace in the air, and a story always on the hook.


🧵 If this feels like your kind of cozy, subscribe and stay awhile. And if you have a yarn or justice story of your own, I’d love to hear it in the comments.

I’m Erika—

Civil rights attorney, crocheter, cat mama, wife, and a woman guided by deep faith.

By day, I advocate for students and families, using the law to challenge injustice in our schools.

When the day winds down, you’ll find me with yarn in my hands, a nice cup of Lady Grey tea, and Merida and Eddy, my two cats, supervising every stitch (or at least pretending to).

This blog is a reflection of the life I am weaving: one of purpose, creativity, rest, and grace. You’ll find stories of advocacy, moments of hope, feline antics, and cozy projects stitched between them all.


Thanks for being here. However you found your way, I hope you’ll feel at home.
