Christmas in the Heart, by Paul Laurence Dunbar… I memorized this poem as a child and can alllllmost recite it perfectly still. I hope you love it as much as I always have. #paullaurencedunbar #christmasintheheart #poetry #christmaspoem #nanalovesyou

These days I feel as though my life is overflowing with all sorts of joy giving things, and I’m so grateful. Answering some of your potential questions in advance: Noah and Millen are my two youngest children; jdroberto has a wonderful fitness community called goodvibeswellnesscommunity and is encouragement in human form. 🤭 Also, don’t you love my #berylware teapot plushie? My daughter Amelia sent it from her home in Ireland. #abundance #flowers #vintageliving #neurodivergent #adhd #nanalovesyo

High standards are a very good thing… until they’re not! 🤭 Let them go when they are no longer serving the health and happiness of you and your family. Also, I rarely use a box mix, but when I do, it’s always krusteaz (not an ad!) #muffins #christmas #perfectionism #nanalovesyou

Happy New Year my darlings! It’s time for Nana to do a little decluttering! #vintagelinens #declutter #tablecloth #nanalovesyou

(Trigger warning: disordered eating) Long ago and far away, i was a tiny slip of a thing… 100 pounds soaking wet! Everyone assumed i was fit and healthy, but in reality im far healthier now, even though ive more than doubled that number on the scale. Actually i dont even own a scale these days! 🤭 Also @timhortons chili is just about my very favorite fast food meall. It’s seriously yummy! #recovery #eatingdisorder #anorexia #bodyneutrality #nanalovesyou

The cold never bothered them anyway… 🐧🐻‍❄️🦭 #blubber #science #scienceteacher #scienceexperiment #christmas #arctic #education

I can’t believe I let my sewing room get such a mess! @the_vintagearian suggested I just set a match to the whole thing! 🤭But now it’s all fresh and clean and it’s such a great feeling to walk by that open door. #cleaning #organizing #hoarding #nanalovesyou

Happy Halloween my darlings… I hope your day is full of pumpkins and treats and all manner of sweet things! Speaking of sweet things, this cozy black pegnoir set was a gift from eileenwestdesigns #witch #exvangelical #deconstruction #halloween #nanalovesyou

Not an ad… I just adore @farmgirlflowers with an unadulterated passion. That is all. orchid #roses #flowers #florist #nanalovesyou

Wishing you the merriest of merry days my dear one, no matter what your day looks like, no matter if you don’t even celebrate the day. Just a note, I will be taking this next week off from posting on social media, but I’ll be thinking of you! I’ll be back on here a week from today, on New Year’s Day.. ready to start a whole wonderful new year together! #nanalovesyou

To quote the inimitable Sister Evangelina, “We must deal with what the Lord has sent us”… even scrawny Christmas trees! 🤭 This vid is actually from last year but it remains one of my favorites and I wanted to share it during this holiday season too! #christmas #christmastree #contentment #catsofinstagram #nanalovesyou

#ad Let’s be honest, enrolling in or changing your Medicare plan can be overwhelming. But don’t miss the Medicare Annual Election Period because of confusion. Get ahead of it and visit Humana.com/medicare101 for more information and to connect with a licensed sales agent!

Have a wonderful weekend my dear ones… I shall see you bright and early on Monday morning. #waldorfhome #autumn #seasonaltable #socialmediabreak #nanalovesyou Beautiful wooden seasonal display stand is by sarahssilks

Rest isn’t something we earn… it’s something we all deserve no matter how productive (or nonproductive!) we have been. Take care of yourself my dear. Get the rest you need. #rest #selfcare #mentalhealth #vintagevacuum #cleaning #dusting #nanalovesyou

A little breezy autumnal ASMR for you… tell me what you hear! #wind #rain #raindrops #windchime #birds #birdsong #nanalovesyou

Leave a #⏰ if you like! A little morning routine we established on the stairs 🤭 We had so much fun enjoying these few precious days together in October… —————————————————————————— #cozy #calming #comforting #cottagecore #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #vintagevibes #grwm #getready #getreadywithme #vintagegrwm #vintagemenswear #mensvintage #historicalfashion #goodmorning #kindredspirits #friendship #nanalovesyou #vintageliving #gaybeard #stiffcollar #starchedcollar #vintagehome #timetravel #timetravelers #gentlemanstyle #boaterhat #1920s #1930s #1940s

Just a silly little moment from my morning… come join us in stories for more of ridiculous me! 😅 #morningroutine #morningjoy #waldorfhome #roseteafigurines #nanalovesyou

Sending this out to all my sedentary sisters and brothers… I get it. I loathe exercise too! But try to find something, anything you can do that you enjoy (or can tolerate! Ha!) Any little thing that seems fun: walking circles in your house, counting how many flights of stairs you can climb, jumping rope, dancing to a crazy playlist. And if you want to start working out, let me suggest the most encouraging human alive @jdroberto6 and his current initiative, goodvibeswellnesscommunity. Its Millen’s favorite! #sedentary #sedentarylifestyle #slowfitness #health #fitness #catsoftiktok #nanalovesyou

There’s nothing like a vintage-y cup of coffee to start my vintage-y kind of day. #dripolator coffeemakers are readily available on #ebay and #etsy although you frequently have to buy the pot and the drip mechanism separately. #1930s #1940s #coffee #morning #maplesyrup #jadeite #nanalovesyou
