About us
Inspired by doilies, drop cookies, & dust ruffles
Celebrate the charm of old-fashioned living with a modern touch. From grandma-style home decor and old-fashioned recipes to thoughtful homemaking tips and simple living inspiration, this blog is all about bringing warmth, nostalgia, and heart back into the home—one doily, teacup, and cozy chair at a time—just like grandma.
Behind the Blog
Meet Kristine
Hi, I’m Kristine—a longtime blogger, homemaker, and grandma-at-heart (and in real life too!) who still believes there’s nothing better than a well-loved home.
I started sharing my life online nearly a decade ago through my blog Kristine in Between, where I fell in love with writing, baking, and creating meaningful content.
Over the years, my love for vintage charm, homey details, and all things “grandma style” grew into something more—and that’s how The Heart of Grandma was born.
This space reflects my love for simpler living, vintage-inspired everything, and all the little things that make home feel…like home.
