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 pioneers and welcome to episode number 277.

So if you have been homesteading for any length of time or you're just

getting started with your homestead, it really doesn't matter how long you've been doing it.

There comes a time when you begin to feel overwhelmed

with all of the work and everything that needs to be done.

And usually, not always, but usually this happens to me

during the fall when it's the mass time of bringing in all of the harvest the majority of it comes in at once the weather starts to turn nasty and then we are beginning to have to feed more than we were

previously because the grass is not growing much anymore and so all of the work

feels like it kind of accumulates right into this one spot and is pressed into usually

about a six week period. And so today's episode, I want to talk to you about when you're feeling like that and sometimes you can feel like this even without it being that specific time of year.

But I really want to talk to you about the realities and it's normal to feel that way or what to expect

Because I feel like so often when we're sharing about this home saying life because it really is amazing. There's so many awesome things and so many great benefits from living this lifestyle
