You don’t always need to buy something new—som

You don’t always need to buy something new—sometimes you just need to move a lamp, swap the rug, or raid your own decor closet. (Yes, that’s a thing.)

Rearranging is my favorite form of therapy lately—and it’s completely free!

More cozy, no-spend home tips on the blog today as well as my decor closet. See you in a few! Link's in my bio or theheartofgrandma.com

Late July is such a weird little limbo, isn’t it

Late July is such a weird little limbo, isn’t it? The sun is still blazing but something's shifted. It feels…slower.

Maybe it’s the mental clutter. Maybe it’s the fact that we just packed up a whole cabin and now I’m staring down triplicates of EVERYTHING like they hold the answers (they don't).

Either way, I’m calling it transition tired—and today I’m letting it be what it is. (Watermelon and crackers for dinner, anyone?)

New Friday letter is up. Link’s in bio for you. 🩷

Last night’s dinner is today’s lunch. Or maybe tomorrow’s “oh thank goodness I don’t have to cook.” 🙌🏻

A little ode to leftovers...because sometimes reheating food is self-care.

New post up on the blog—how to make leftovers something you actually want to eat (no sad Tupperware required). Come on by theheartofgrandma.com or click the link in my bio.

Just merged two homes into one after eight years, and for the first time, everything’s under one roof. So why do I have eleven spatulas? 😂

Which means decluttering and downsizing. (And yes, four trips to Goodwill in one day.)

I’m in my “if I don’t love it, I don’t need it” era—and honestly? It feels kind of like peace.

More on the blog—link’s in my bio.

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is show up

Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is show up with cookies. 🍪

No reason. No holiday. Just a little paper plate that says, “Hi, I thought of you.”

It’s not old-fashioned. It’s neighborly. And we need to bring this back, don't you think?

Read my latest post all about baking cookies for our neighbors at theheartofgrandma.com or click the link in my bio. ❤️

Just me, a soft cloth, and a pair of new-to-me brass lamps getting their groove back. (They were so dull and beat up I thought they were supposed to be matte—whoops.)

Now they shine like they remember who they are and I'm in total love. ✨

If you need help with your brass, come see me at theheartofgrandma.com or click the link in my bio and we'll get it shining like new! 🫶🏻

No one tells you that folding a blanket the same way every night before bed can feel oddly grounding. Or that weird little decor quirks make a house yours.

Today on the blog—5 things your mom probably didn’t teach you about making a home, and why they matter way more than matching throw pillows.

Turns out you don’t need “nano-shine technology” (I don't even really know what that means, haha) to get a streak-free mirror—just vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and a little old-school magic.

I’ve used this cleaner on everything from toothpaste splatter to grand-baby hand prints EVERYWHERE, and it actually works (well).

Bonus—it doesn’t smell like chemicals, and you can make it in under a minute. 🙌🏻

The full recipe’s up on the blog. Come on over, theheartofgrandma.com or click the link in my bio. See you soon!
