Productive Living Tips from Erica Strauss of NW Edible Life
This week’s post is a summary of my podcast interview with my good friend Erica Strauss.
Erica is a blogger over at NW Edible Life where she has fun, punchy perspective on garden-to-table eating and living a DIY lifestyle.
And…She just wrote her first book:
The Hands on Home:* A Seasonal Guide to Cooking, Preserving and Natural Homekeeping.
It’s about keeping a more productive home, kitchen and lifestyle through DIY projects. You save money, time and end up feeling good about what you do.
Good stuff!
