Bean to Cup Coffee Lounge
If you love coffee as much as I do, you are certainly always looking for different types of coffees and coffee shops to try.

Moura Bistro
Working from home has its advantages, but at times, it also consumes you so much that you end up not leaving the house for many things. I have made a conscious effort to grab lunch at a local business at least once a week to get out of the home office, try something new and […]
Three60 Market
In my quest to try restaurants that I have not tried on the weekends with the family, we ended up at Three60 Market today! We were looking for a place with a view, good food and fairly priced and we found it all here. As we drove down Bayview Drive, we could tell that both […]
Children’s Museum of Naples
My kids often visit the Children’s Museum of Naples when I am at work… but today, as I had the day off, I was able to visit the museum with them. Now this is not my first time here, but I had not been in a long time, and I forgot how much fun it […]
The Llama’s House
Being from Brazil, and having travelled extensively to different parts of South America, I have learned to appreciate good South American food. Aside from places in Miami that I have visited, I had yet to find a place in Southwest Florida that offered a great variety of South American dishes and tasted so delicious, until […]
La Trattoria
I remember visiting Italy and as I walked from one of the tourist attraction to another, I remember wishing I could sit down and try every restaurant I saw on the way, they all looked so delicious… and when I finally got to try one, I was absolutely right, the food was out of this […]
