#260: Comfort Things

At 34 weeks pregnant, I’m sharing all the latest on our home build, pregnancy with baby #9, and what life is like in this full season. Even though progress on the house feels slow, I’m finding peace in the extra time to make intentional decisions, and we are loving how our unique vision is coming to life. I talk about chimney brick, roofing surprises, and the proportions that make it feel like an old homestead. I also reflect on how textbook this pregnancy has been compared to my others and answer a few listener questions about storm windows and monitoring during labor.

In this episode, we cover:


  
Slow building progress continues, but the slower pace has allowed for more thoughtful, intentional decisions



  
Finalized historic design elements like trim profiles, wall materials, and appliance choices— finding excitement in the progress even if it’s gradual



  
Chimneys are now bricked and the garage is roofed with wide-seamed metal that perfectly fits the historic vibe— a happy surprise with no overthinking!



  
Main house will feature cedar shake roofing, while the porches and additions have metal to embrace the “old house with add-ons” story



  
Reflections on how proportions, window placement, and overall structure are beautifully bringing to life the original vision of a “new old house”



  
Pregnancy update at 34 weeks: similar symptoms and baby position as past pregnancies, feeling confident and ready

Choosing minimal prenatal interventions— tracking iron and glucose at home, keeping midwife visits sparse




  

  Sharing our personal approach to open windows with no screens or storm doors for an indoor-outdoor connection





  
Thoughts on Doppler use in labor and delivery— balancing caution with practical monitoring when needed

Depending on where you live, August can be a month of harvest abundance or extreme garden fatigue—or both. In today’s episode, I’m meeting you where you are. Whether you’re coasting through harvests or struggling with heat, pests, and burnout, this is a chance to regroup, reset, and prep for fall without overwhelming yourself. Here’s what we cover: 🌱 Reset & Reassess August is the perfect time to take stock. Are your summer crops still producing, or is it time to pull them out? Clear space now to get ready for fall.

It’s a back-to-school reset! But not the one with matching lunchboxes and over-the-top ‘what’s in my kid’s bag’ trends. Instead of overhauling everything for the kids, Jen and Jill are flipping the script on what a real reset means and breaking down how TikTok is fueling quiet overconsumption and spotlighting what to do to stay grounded, intentional, and spend way less.

Peatlands sequester twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests and are vital ecosystems with essential roles in water management and biodiversity support — but they are under threat. Most have been damaged due to peat extraction and other human activity, contributing to climate change. British horticulturist, journalist and author Alys Fowler joins me on the podcast this week to share why peatlands are indispensable and why gardeners should reconsider their use of peat moss.

Home Makeover Tips for Divorcees + How to Buy a Generator

Birth doesn’t have to be something to fear. I sat down with Lana from Girl, Teach Me to talk about seeing labor as a God-designed process, not an emergency. We covered choosing the right midwife, why changing your mindset around pain is so powerful, and how to respond to people who think you are choosing home birth to get a “trophy”.  Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, this episode is full of honest, empowering wisdom for walking into birth with peace!

In this episode, we cover:


  
Lana’s story: how a college nutrition class sparked her love for birth and led to Girl, Teach Me



  
Birth as normal— not an emergency to fear, but a process designed by God



  
The faith walk of birth that requires releasing control and trusting God each time, no matter the number



  
Choosing your birth team wisely and why the right midwife makes all the difference



  
Power moves and fear tactics— recognizing red flags in medical care



  
Labor predictions that miss the mark: baby size, dilation, and due dates that don’t actually mean much



  
A new perspective on pain: working with your body instead of resisting it



  
Birth prep that actually helps: Bradley Method, Ina May, and positive birth stories



  
The realities of the first-time birth and why it often takes longer and feels more intense



  
Things that can go wrong— why skilled midwives know when to transfer, and how most situations are calm and non-emergent



  
How to prepare for postpartum experiences like afterbirth cramps, recovery, and what actually helps (or doesn’t)



  
Thoughts on free birth— being prepared either way, but personally valuing the peace of a midwife’s presence



  
How Lana included her older children in her birth and what it meant to her daughters



  
Why home birth just makes sense for outcomes, comfort, and family flow



  
Pushing back on comparison— birth choices aren’t competitions, and excellence isn’t judgment



  
Lana’s heart behind creating content for new moms through YouTube, blogging, and her course

Gardeners' Question Time

Postbag Edition: Finsbury Circus Gardens

This episode is near and dear to my heart. With one child officially out of the house and my daughter quickly approaching adulthood, I've found myself feeling all the feelings this summer: nostalgic, grateful, and more intentional than ever. I gathered a few dear homesteading friends for a heartfelt kitchen roundtable where we shared our favorite summer memories, the simple things that stuck with us from childhood, and how we're creating meaningful traditions with our families today. We’re talking bonfires, camping, blackberry picking, and yes, even escape rooms and game nights! You'll hear how summer rhythms have shifted for each of us over the years, what’s working in this season, and why it’s okay to buy the hot dog buns and use paper plates if it means more time connecting with your people. If you're longing for a slower, richer summer full of real connection, this episode is for you. Let's make the most of the season we’re in, together.  For more information and any links mentioned in today’s podcast, visit https://melissaknorris.com/476 Grab Plated by Season here: https://melissaknorris.com/plated

She Lost EVERYTHING In a Hurricane

A third of British pollinator species are now in decline — but there’s still hope, and gardeners can be part of the solution. This week, the RHS launched its updated Plants for Pollinators list: over 10,000 plants scientifically shown to support pollinating insects throughout the year. Dr Andy Salisbury, head of plant health at the RHS, will take us behind the science — revealing how smart planting choices can help reverse pollinator decline. Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, will bring us into the world of the charismatic bumblebee, shedding light on the growing pressures they face, from shrinking habitats to shifting seasons. And finally, horticulturist Rosie Yeomans will spotlight a pollinator favourite: salvias. After leading a three-year hardy salvia trial at RHS Garden Wisley, she’s here to reveal which varieties truly stole the show.
