Vinegar Fridays: An Interview with Green Grandma
You know Hana Haatainen Caye, as The Green Grandma –
Green Child Magazine’s own green living and cleaning go-to source.
She’s also a wife, mother, and grandmother who shares her passion for
common sense green and healthy living. Hana’s book, Vinegar Fridays, came from the most popular section of her blog.
Hana is no stranger to answering questions and dishing
out helpful advice. In this Q & A, she gets to talk about herself
for once!
GCM: Tell us more about Vinegar Fridays and how your blog inspired you to write it.
Green Grandma: Six months after I started my blog, I launched a weekly feature called Vinegar Fridays.
Every Friday, I wrote about vinegar and its many uses and purposes. One
year later, I was sitting at my desk staring at a blank screen and
thinking, “I have nothing else to say about vinegar!”
I guess I had vinegar burnout, so I wrote a poem to the
Green Grandma community announcing the end of Vinegar Fridays. That
didn’t go over too well! People were emailing me and calling me saying,
“You can’t quit Vinegar Fridays!” So I made them a promise that someday I
would put together all the posts into a book. And that’s what I did.
