It's Monday! Time for our weekly installment of Radical Homemaking. Interested in learning more about what that means, check out THIS post and THIS post.
Last year I shared some of my favorite Radical Homemaking books with you here on the blog. This year, I thought I'd expand this list! When I get ahold of an idea, my first step is usually to hit the books. After a year and a half of reading and perusing books on the subject, here are some of my favorite titles. These books contain a wealth of information, stories and tips. These authors are passionate, transparent, informed and some of them are also fabulously self-effacing and funny. Here they are in no particular order:
