Backyards are a big perk to owning a home, as you can create your own personal oasis. Creating a space that welcomes good times where you can create family memories is what every homeowner dreams of. One unique feature that’s becoming more popular is having your own outdoor fireplace.
If you’re over 55 and in the market for a new home in Melbourne, check out Bridgewater at Viera. This 408-acre gated enclave features 870 beautiful single-family homes especially designed to accommodate the varied needs and lifestyles of today’s 55+ community. Plus, a whole new collection of twin homes is coming soon.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a fire pit to your outdoor space, here are some things to consider to make this dream, a reality.
Get Permission
Before diving deeper into this project, check with your Homeowner’s Association, county, or city ordinances to determine the laws and regulations in your area. Make sure you obtain any permits or permission you may need before any work begins.
DIY or Hire A Pro?
You can easily DIY your own backyard fireplace with the help of videos and tutorials online. Those who have grand ideas for their setup, may need to hire a pro to ensure the process goes smoothly and give you the best results for your money. Get some quotes and compare prices for professionals to find one the best fits your vision and budget.
Set A Budget
Budgeting is always important with any new home project, and you can set how much you’re willing to spend or break down your vision and work the budget around that. Simple free-standing fire pits, or materials to DIY, can start at under $100 to purchase at any local home improvement store. Know that if you’re looking into building a more permanent elaborate structure the prices could easily range in the $1,000s.
Pick A Location
You could already be imagining a perfect spot in your backyard as you read this! However, if you’re not sure yet, determine a location and any landscaping changes that may be necessary to make your fire pit dreams a reality. Keep in mind that your spot should have a flat level surface as well as have enough distance away from your home, other outdoor structures, and trees.
Practice Fire Safety
No matter how big or small your fireplace is, it’s essential to always practice fire safety. Find a list online to follow, and make sure all family members and friends who will be using it know the safety measures they should be keeping. Depending on your structure, it’s recommended to use a spark screen and avoid using your fire pit on a windy day. Make sure kids aren’t left unattended around the open flames and always keep a fire extinguisher handy as a precaution.
Learn Fire Pit Care
In order to get the best use out of your new fireplace, learn the proper ways to care for and clean it. When you’re done using it, allow flames to burn out naturally rather than pouring a large amount of water directly onto the fire, which may cause damage to the structure. Keep your fireplace covered or closed to protect it from rain and other outside elements that can damage it.

One of the most creative ways to celebrate your mom this Mother’s Day is to DIY a personalized present. And if mom has moving on her mind, Lennar has some wonderful options for her to consider!
Avalon Trails, Bridgewater at Viera and Veranda Preserve are all “55 & Better” lifestyle communities with homes tailored to the needs of residents with plenty of amenities and social activities. If mom would prefer a townhome, Towns of Andalucia has spacious floor plans with 1,604 to 2,032 A/C square feet, while Woodlands at Ibis in West Palm Beach offers beautiful single-family homes worth considering.
If you’re looking to give mom the perfect Mother’s Day gift, here are some fun DIY suggestions:
One of A Kind Creation
Get little ones excited to create a handprint bouquet that mom will love and treasure. Set up a little station in the backyard with colorful construction paper, safety scissors, glue, and whatever other decorations you can think of. The kiddos can also make her a custom card or flashcard notebook filled with everything you all love about her.
Home Decor & Accessories
Older children can get a bit craftier and create beautiful tile coasters or personalized mugs for mom to show off when she entertains. Look for a blank pieces to paint and decorate with handprints, sentimental sayings, or as a work of art for mom to use every morning with her coffee or tea. Test out your sewing or crochet skills and make a beautiful infinity scarf or cozy throw blanket for mom to use any time of the year.
Handcrafted Jewelry
Little ones can have fun and easily make mom a custom bracelet or necklace with handy kits found at your local craft stores. Challenge your older kids to paint their own necklace pendant or bracelet charms and craft something a little more elaborate for a classier jewelry set.
Relaxation Gifts
Honor mom with a relaxation gift basket filled with a cozy robe, slippers, facemasks, and complete with your own bath bomb creation. Buy blocks of soap for older kids to try and carve into unique designs. Find easy soap and bath bomb DIY tutorials online to give mom the ultimate gift of relaxation.
No matter how well-crafted (or not) the gift is, mom will certainly appreciate all the love and hard work that went into her personalized DIY present!

Residents of Lennar’s communities in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami enjoy amazing amenities and easy access to the best attractions in the region. Here are some great ideas for enjoying your Mother’s Day out in South Florida!
Daytime Activities
Spend the day at Flamingo Gardens strolling through the Botanical Gardens or visit the Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary, where you will discover the largest and oldest collection of Florida native wildlife. Residents of Palomino Lake can take a short 15 minute drive to enjoy all that this location has to offer. Go down to Miami and visit the beautiful Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum or the Perez Art Museum right next door. Both are sure to have fun for the whole family with planetarium shows, colorful marine life, featured exhibits, and beautiful artwork.
Brunch Specials
Find out if your favorite local eateries are serving up a Mother’s Day brunch by looking online. Some restaurants offering all-inclusive Mother’s Day brunch specials are Casa Sensei, Fi’lia, Zuma Miami, and many others. Take the whole family out to toast mom with glasses of mimosas and yummy food.
Take Advantage of Amenities
Lennar communities are full of fun amenities that can be used year-round, but are especially fun to use during times of celebration. Lennar’s Broward communities, such as Cascata at MiraLago, offers fun trails, resort-style pools, and clubhouses to host fun picnics at or a surprise party for mom.

Find good deals and eat at restaurants such as Déjà Blue Restaurant, BLT Prime Miami, Apeiro Kitchen & Bar, and more. Do a quick search online to find out which other restaurants are offering special deals for our special moms.

Celebrating moms is the mother of all family holidays. Our ancestors were wise enough to know that what makes Mom happy makes everyone happy, so it’s no happy accident that the U.S. created Mother’s Day as long ago as 1914.
The Metroplex offers a veritable bouquet of things to do to pamper Mom—and let’s think way beyond flowers here, people. Some of the coolest and perhaps even most surprising opportunities to fuss over the most important woman in all our lives are close to home.
Consider, for instance, a romantic outing to one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s sparkling, popular and massive recreational havens: Lakes Lewisville and Ray Hubbard.
It just so happens that Woodcreek, a Lennar community with new homes for sale in Fate, TX, lies just 7 miles from Harbor Bay Marina. Take her for a moonlight or sunset cruise—or skip the romance and bring the entire family.
Another Lennar community, Lakewood Hills East and West, is coming soon with new homes for sale in Lewisville, TX, which is nestled just 4 miles from the lake of the same name. There, you can take advantage of yet another opportunity for an Insta-worthy brunch or dinner cruise aboard a sleek party boat that sails from Safe Harbor Pier 121.
Let’s say, though, you’ve blown it by trying to book a sold-out Mother’s Day cruise. The best gift ever? Buy her a new home from among Lakewood Hills’ Brookstone Collection, which boasts quartz or granite countertops and GE® stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.
Again, if you have seriously messed up and, gasp!, entirely forgotten Mother’s Day, don’t fret. Lakewood Hills’ new homes also include The Connected Home by Lennar™, a robust smart-home technology with the smarts to help you out of your jam.
Indeed, Everything’s Included® in all new Lennar homes. That Lennar’s innovative package of standard features most other homebuilders consider add-ons, passing costs on to you.
In Lennar’s Brookstone Collection, for instance, yet another feature offers the option for a separate shower and an indulgent garden tub in the owner’s suite. Oh, and speaking of spas, treat her to Spa Castle, just 6 miles from Lakewood Hills.
Riverplace Brookstone and Riverplace Parks, showcasing new homes for sale in Garland, TX, lie virtually around the corner from Lake Ray Hubbard, where she can enjoy a leisurely stroll or playtime with the family at nearby Rowlett Creek Preserve or Breckenridge Park.
For a taste of elegance, gift her with a Girl’s Day Out at a Dallas Arboretum Garden Tea, a seated three-course High Tea in the Arboretum just 14 miles from your Riverplace home.
For more information about how to give her everything she could ever need, contact Lennar’s Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home Sales Coordinators at (866) 314-4477.

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and with so many generic gifts on the market, it can begin to feel like déjà vu. Ask any mom and they would likely tell you of their numerous coffee mugs and scented candles they’ve been given over the years. While these are certainly thoughtful items, here are a few unique gifts you can create this year for the mom in your life – all right from your own home!
Bake some treats
Great for the moms that have a sweet tooth, baking is a lovely way of expressing appreciation.
If she has a preferred dessert, find a recipe online or re-create her own family recipe for that extra personal touch.
Make a dried flower bouquet
Traditional freshly cut flower bouquets are exquisite, but they unfortunately do have a short life-span. That’s where dried flowers come in, helping to preserve the beauty of any centerpiece. They’re easy to make, last for several months, and require zero upkeep. You can source your dried flowers online or dry out any fresh flowers you may have in hand. Pinterest is a great place for inspiration if you’re not quite sure where to start.
Include the family
If the mom in your life is also a grandmother, include the grandkids in crafting handmade cards. These one-of-a-kind gifts are great keepsakes and will definitely inspire some happy tears!
Plan a backyard picnic
Surprise your mom with a backyard picnic! You can order delivery from her favorite restaurant or cook the meal yourself, it’s up to you. Add some decorations to spruce it up, curate a playlist, and include her favorite beverages as well.
Mother’s Day is not only a celebration of our loved ones, it’s also the relationship we hold with them. So be sure to cherish your time together and have fun with your gift giving! After all, it’s the moment itself that will last a lifetime.
