If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

Hey guys and welcome to episode number 87. Oh my goodness I'm so glad to have you back with me and I'm really excited for today's episode

We have a special guest and we're talking about one of my favorite things in the whole wide world and that is

Simple and plain living which is what the pioneers did

that's how they lived was simple and plain and I think in so many aspects we need to go back to that

and bring that into our modern lives which is kind of the whole thing of the pioneering today podcast, right, is what we talk about and we do here.

But one, there's actually two cultures that really embrace this way of life, probably even more

than a lot of homesteaders or off-gridders, and that is the Amish and the Mennonite communities, which I have always been fascinated with.

My great-grandmother was actually a Mennonite, and I wish that I had known her and got to pick her brain a bit more.

So I'm really excited because today we are diving deep into that.

I've got our guest on the podcast.

Her name is Georgia, and I'm super excited because she was raised Mennonite partially.

She attended a Mennonite church with her family when her children were growing up.
