"Limitless: Devotions for a Ridiculously Good Life" - Book Review

I have to admit that I was fascinated about the life of Nick Vujicic and chose this book for that reason. I was expecting autobiography, but pleasantly surprised to find this book is a devotional. I'm not always a fan of devotional books, but this one is so different than the "normal" devotional that I couldn't stop reading it cover-to-cover when it arrived!

Each chapter of this devotional begins with a scripture about a life topic. It then has a story that Nick Vujicic relates from his own life without arms and legs, to every person in every walk of life. Instead, of finishing with a prayer at the end of a chapter, this devotional ended with sound advice to go forward in life. Each chapter could stand alone if you wanted to pick a particular subject, or like myself, you could read this devotional from cover-to-cover!

Every chapter seemed like it was speaking directly to me. As I read "Limitless", I had to keep looking at the cover to see if Nick Vujicic had grown arms and legs, because he seems so "normal" by his writing. It seemed like he had literally gone through the same things that I've gone through. I highly recommend this devotional to everyone, even if you don't generally care for devotionals, because Vujicic truly hits home to every persons life and heart. It will give you hope, no matter what you are going through!

I recieved this book from Waterbrook Press in exchange for an authentic review.

DIY Pig Feeder

This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair. We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year. I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas. Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail. This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live. Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in. This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...

Local Harvest

I am so surprised at the amount of people who don't take advantage of local farmers and produce! We heard about a place called "Tomato Toms" and just had to check it out. (Especially since it seems nearly impossible to grow tomatoes in our town. I think it's something about the elevation) We took a Sunday afternoon to drive to explore local produce and find Tomato Tom. This drive, I thought for sure that no one could be possibly growing anything on such dry land (see the background to the first picture, below). Then we drove up a scary driveway and look what we found: Tomato Toms was a fantastic sizable garden of u-pick heaven! We picked 60 pounds of tomatoes in 10 minutes. Then took about twenty more minutes to figure out just what onions and peppers we needed to go with our tomatoes. The tomatoes weren't store perfect, as in no blemishes or anything, but they were beautiful and tasted wonderful off the vine! I don't normally ...

Burlap and Ticking

I found a queen size bed ruffle with a ticking ruffle on it. Immediately, I picked it up (for only $1!) at our local thrift store. I knew that I would combine it with my find of burlap bags. ( I picked up 200 of them for only $10! Yes, that's right, they were only $.05 each! I overindulged in them, and could take no less than 200 because of the price.) One of the problems with my new bags is that they are a little smaller than the printed ones that I have. I personally like really long table runners because I have a really big table, but I decided to get over my own feelings and make this runner as long as I could (the ruffle really helped, too). So here is the runner. I think the ticking and the burlap really look great together. I know how to make ruffles and have ticking, but for $1 I thought that this really was worth using from a different source! You could have it in the middle of a big table like above, or you co...
