La Coyota is the Best Shopping Experience In Cabo
There is no shortage of souvenir shops in Cabo San Lucas. In fact, you can find them on nearly every corner and side street in the tourist corridor. However, if you’re looking for the best shopping experience in Cabo, then make your way over to La Coyota. La Coyota is completely different from any of those shops you see downtown or at the marina.

Christmas Countdown Beer and Cider Sampler
This homemade Christmas countdown beer and cider sampler is the perfect gift for almost any guy on your list. The idea is simple. Think of it like those paper advent calendars you had as a kid.

In honor of Smokey the Bear turning 75 this year, I created a quick gift guide with great ideas for anyone who loves Smokey Bear as much as I do! I had…

DIY Reusable Coffee Sleeve Tutorial
Last spring when I was in Hawaii, I frequented the Coffee Gallery on the North Shore of Oahu. Yummy good coffee can be found at the Coffee Gallery and I would highly recommend giving them a try if you are ever in the area. Anyhoo…as a souvenier I purchased a handmade reusable coffee sleeve made from the burlap bags the roasted coffee beans come in. Originally my idea was to try and replicate this sleeve using regular burlap, but when I tried it was an epic failure. The burlap bags the coffee came in were a much tighter weave and didn’t fray as easily, so now I am on the…

Grab the coffee and snacks and get ready to hit the books…it’s finals week!! For high school and college students, there isn’t a more stress-filled week (academically) than finals week. Studying for hours on end, cramming as much information into your tired brain as possible. This week is finals week at our house…the very first of many to come.
