Fall is here which means pumpkin spiced everything, crisp leaves, warm fires and changing weather. Since the season is changing, why not also change out your décor to match?! We found a quick and easy way for you to “spice” up your décor and give your home all of the Fall feels! For this episode, we took an old candle holder, some candy, and fall scented tea candles and turned it into a cute Fall display. Watch this How to U video to see it in action!
Do you have a great home tip to share? Simply tag it with #HowToU on Twitter or Instagram and your tip could turn into a future video!
Football season is back! The long-awaited sports season has begun and brings with it the thrill of a return-turned-touchdown, delicious sports bar bites, and many, many hours spent celebrating with family and friends in front of the TV. But how does it get better than that (besides when the team we’re cheering for wins)? We’re about to tell you, so put your favorite team’s jersey on, grab the hot wings, and find out how you can make football season feel like an ongoing touchdown:
Whether it’s in one of Lennar’s grand clubhouses, rooftop terraces, or in your home, there are various necessities for having the best football-watching gathering. Of course, the #1 priority is the football, right? So it’s crucial that TV malfunctions be gone! Many Lennar homes include Amazon Alexa, which can connect to Bluetooth speakers and smart TVs, providing a quick and simple way to adjust the volume and change the channel without any complications.
Plus, Lennar homes boast the very first Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design—meaning you can stream from anywhere. Yes, even the bathroom! So you don’t have to miss a single play.
Another game-viewing must-have: FOOD! While numerous finger foods–like chips and guacamole, pizza, wings, and cookies–are options that leave people cheering, you can get creative with minimum effort. Try using football-shaped cookie cutters to elevate already-yummy cookies, serve mixed drinks using your preferred team’s colors, or even make your own DIY soda-can field posts to decorate the snack table with some vibrant paint and a hot glue gun!
Pro tip: if you can’t host your own party or attend someone else’s and have to miss the game, just ask Alexa to record it on DVR for you, so you can watch it afterwards!
Game days are great, but there’s no need to stop the celebrations there! Various Lennar communities offer open green spaces for you to admire nature and engage in exercise–and that includes playing football! Take advantage of fall’s cool weather and spend some time tossing the football outside. Practice your interceptions, punts, blocks, tackles–whatever your inner professional player desires! You can even go as far as planning your own football scrimmage with friends and family. And on those hotter-than-normal days, cool off deliciously after a game in one of Lennar’s beautiful pools.
Sports can often bring people together and even result in friendships forming! A Lennar community that’s in the center of it all, Urbana, is located in the heart of Doral and surrounded by exciting places to watch football games and eat scrumptious food. For a laid-back sports setting, try Miller’s Ale House, Hooters, or Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill. A family-and-sports-friendly restaurant, Kings Dining & Entertainment, features arcade games, bowling, and has TVs everywhere, perfect for game-watching with the kids. And for those nights when it’s just mom and dad, try MIA Brewery, offering a beer garden and serving an array of craft beers. Don’t fret if you’re not in Doral, Miami is teeming with lively entertainment and dining venues, just waiting for you to walk in and meet your next football pal.
Now that we’ve given you all these ideas, you probably won’t even finish reading this post, so we’ll end it quickly!
October 2018 – Fall is the start of the holiday season and with Halloween being the first festivity to kick it off, it’s the perfect way to get crafty, creative and have some fun with decorating your new home. Whether your style is chic, understated or down right spooky – tackle this list of decorative items to get into the holiday spirit.
Whether you want to go the traditional Jack-o-lantern route, decorate with all kinds of pumpkin sizes and styles or get creative with paint and glitter – there are infinite ways to incorporate this Halloween décor staple.
You can purchase one and add your own zest to it, or tackle one of these innovative DIY ideas.
As the nights get longer and the evenings get dark earlier, it’s an invitation to decorate with lighting. You can even reuse the lights later for the upcoming holidays – but find a witchier way to present them for the month of October.
Don’t forget the windows! From creepy, shadowy cutouts to spider webs and more, there are so many easy fun ways to greet the trick-or-treaters.
A good pun delivers tricks that treat. Whether you string up a saying using garland, paint a phrase on a pumpkin or frame a spooky expression – it’s a great way to complement other décor.
Talk about a Halloween party staple! The ideas are endless to choose from with options for culinary beginners to advanced chefs.
There really are no rules, but oh so many ways to do it! Here are some fun examples, but you’ll probably find your own style while creating an original piece.
It’s an easy way to fill up the higher spaces and incredibly simple to make at home. From ghosts, to bats and witches riding broomsticks – pick your favorite Halloween character!
We’ve all heard of bobbing for apples, but what about pumpkin bowling, pin the spider on the web or a mummy toilet paper relay race? This list of Halloween games offers fun ideas for both kids and adults alike.
While decorations are enjoyed all month long, Halloween is really all about the costume unveiling! Whether you decide to do something original, make your own version or pay for something impressive – plan early! Nobody likes a last minute costume rush.

Here at Lennar, we pride ourselves in being family-focused and we understand how important it is to enjoy the time with your kids. The summer and fall is always busy with sports activities, sleepovers, outdoor adventures and much more. Here are a couple of ideas that you can try as a family to enjoy some of the free time without much hassle.
If you and the kids want to spend some time outside your new Lennar home, here few suggestions for you to try out.
Stop by the Chattahooche Nature Center in Roswell (http://www.chattnaturecenter.org ) to learn about the ecology of the natural world through interactive, hands-on learning experiences. With loads of trails and themed gardens are a big draw at this 127-acre center, but kids will also love the hands-on exhibits that tell the story of the river. Bonus: bring a picnic and let the older kids hike out all their energy.
For the train enthusiasts check out Southeaster Railway Museum in Duluth (https://www.train-museum.org ). Budding engineers or train-addicted toddlers will love the Southeastern Railway Museum. Explore 35 acres where families can tour rail cars, take a ride on a restored caboose, and check out a large collection of buses and taxi cabs.
Remember to visit Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain (https://www.stonemountainpark.com ) – Georgia’s most-visited attraction is spread throughout 3,200 acres, and even children as young as four (or younger) can make the one-mile hike up to the top of Stone Mountain. Kids will also love the Summit Skyride, a high-speed Swiss cable car, and a slew of other rides and adventures that includes a splash pad and climbing structure with gushing geysers.
There are plenty of activities that you can do without leaving the comfort of your home, as well as activities around the metro. If you do not feel like wandering far from home, you can visit the local community center, enjoy the great outdoors with a nature walk, arrange a game night at home or a movie night with popcorn and the works. Let us know how you like to spend your evenings!
