Refresh your home for the spring time, and get started on your cleaning checklist. These tips can help you get through the cleaning process and leave both you and your home feeling refreshed this season!

Download apps to help you declutter.

There are many apps available to download that can help you stay on top of chores and “to-dos” in your home. They will keep you on track and give you that extra push you’ve been needing to clean out the garage or the junk drawers you’ve been desperately avoiding in the kitchen. They can even help inspire you to redecorate any space in your home.

Make a spring cleaning playlist.

We tend to turn to music to give us extra motivation while doing the things that we might not necessarily enjoy doing on daily a basis.

Think about the songs that get you pumped up and put them into a playlist that you can listen to while organizing or cleaning your home. Grab a pair of headphones or a portable speaker and stay motivated through the cleaning process as you listen to your favorite songs.

You may even be surprised on the workout you’ll get done while cleaning your home too—a win, win!

Think “out with old, in with the new”

While cleaning or decluttering your home might mean having to part with some of your old items, considering it a blessing in disguise!

For every few items that you get rid of or donate, you could reward yourself with a new item, if the budget allows.

Consider selling gently used items

If you happen to come across some clothes in your closet with the tags still on or items that have been gently used, consider selling them to make some extra money.

There are many ways you can go about selling your items—a garage sale, a secondhand clothing store, or even the many groups available via social media that allow you to sell items in your area. This is a perfect way to clear up some space in your home and make a few extra dollars, which might be the perfect motivation to declutter!

Find a friend or family member to help.

While some people may dislike the idea of having to clean their home, some people surprisingly enjoy the tasks and even find it relaxing. Ask a friend or family member if they would be willing to help you clean your home and in exchange you can take them out to their favorite spot for lunch or offer a small gift you know they will enjoy.

By planning a cleaning date with a friend or family member, you can be pressured to get your to-do list done. With conversation and fun, you can more easily accomplish the tasks around your home!

 

Woodland, Calif. – April 2017 – Lennar is thrilled to celebrate the official grand opening of their newest community, The Grove, on Saturday, April 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free event is open to the public and all prospective homeshoppers are invited to attend for the first opportunity to tour new model homes. The event will also have complimentary food, fun games and prizes.

“We are so excited to grand open this community to the public and show off these gorgeous model homes,” said Laura Kilgore, Director of Marketing for Lennar Sacramento. “These solar equipped homes come in a variety of floorplan styles and sizes, including Lennar’s The Home Within A Home®.”

At The Grove, homeshoppers have six distinctive floorplans to choose from available in a variety of elevation styles. Home sizes range approximately from 1,662 to 3,033 square feet of living space, up to four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Both single and two-story designs are available. Prices start from the $400,000s.

Lennar’s  The Home Within A Home® is offered at this community in The Almond plan. Designed specifically to accommodate dual and multigenerational living situations, these unique floorplans include an attached private suite. Known as The Home Within a Home® suite, it comes with it a separate entrance, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry area and kitchenette.

Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program adds tremendous value, energy-efficiency and style to all the new homes at The Grove, by including a high level of standard features that come no additional cost to the buyer. Some of the most notable items include solar packages, stainless steel appliances, granite kitchen countertops, programmable thermostats, tankless water heaters and so much more.

The Grand Opening on Saturday, April 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will take place at the Welcome Home Center, located at 1581 Osborn Drive in Woodland, off Farmer’s Central Road and Harry Lorenzo Avenue. For more information visit www.lennar.com/sacramento or call (916) 905-1619.

With hundreds of communities nationwide and homes designed for first-time, move-up and luxury homebuyers, Lennar has grown to become one of the nation’s leading and most respected homebuilders. Lennar has a longstanding history of building homes of enduring quality in only the most well planned and desirable locations throughout the country.

Sacramento, Calif. – April 2017 – Every day is Earth Day in a Lennar home! Come celebrate our Earth Day Spring Fest on Saturday, April 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at any of our Lennar communities located throughout the Greater Sacramento Area. We’ll have delicious treats, giveaways and chances to win some fabulous prizes.

“We know that green features are a huge priority among today’s modern homebuyers, which is why we include a variety of them in our Everything’s Included® package for all of our new homes,” said Laura Kilgore, Director of Marketing for Lennar Sacramento. “This is also a great time to learn more about any of our communities, tour gorgeous model homes, learn about our innovative floorplans and energy-efficient features. Plus, the food and fun!”

As part of Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package, every new home comes filled with upscale amenities. Items like stainless steel appliances and granite-slab kitchen countertops elevate a home’s appeal, but many other items come included that make everyday life easier and lower a home’s total energy usage. Little changes everyday add up to big savings for the environment in the long run.

Creating a truly energy-efficient home starts during the construction process. Radiant barrier roof sheathing increases cooling energy-efficiency, which maximizes indoor comfort and allows for minimum air conditioning use. Improved insulation techniques and a tightly sealed duct system also help control indoor airspace by eliminating any spaces or gaps for heat or cool air to escape from, or through.

All new Lennar homes use low VOC paint, which stands for low volatile organic compounds. These paints have a less harmful chemical makeup, which improves air quality both indoors and out. Double paned low emissivity windows, commonly referred to as low-E, have protective coatings to help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. Pair these items with programmable thermostats controlled through home automation by Nexia Home Intelligence, and residents will enjoy the utmost control over their indoor environments year round. Home automation also allows for climate controlled sprinkler management, helping to reduce water used for landscaping.

Solar packages come in all of our new homes and offer a revolutionary way to counter energy usage, by creating it. SunStreet Solar Systems, available in all communities, help cut a home’s overall carbon dioxide emissions nearly in half, according the U.S. Department of Energy.

This fun event is happening at many Lennar Sacramento communities on Saturday, April 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come out to paint a flower pot, receive a free spring plant, enjoy complimentary treats and enter for a chance to win fabulous prizes.
