Introducing Toe Salad (it's not what you think)
January 11, 2011
Just over two years ago, in the fall of 2008, Damien started ADVENTUREinPROGRESS. His goal was to write about our journey of having outdoor adventures together as a family. I joined him a couple months later writing posts now and then. My most significant contributions though are as a photographer ...
Christmas with the Cousins

Tristan's New Clothes
December 30, 2010

Pepper & Spice Muscle Rub Recipe Inspiration
December 28, 2010
Another present under the tree for family this year. To make this muscle rub I used the method described in the post How to Make an Herbal Salve. This year I made some improvements to the recipe, most notably the addition of organic, Maine grown peppers and essential oils. Chosen ...
