Most of us are spending more time at home than ever before. We’re working from home, homeschooling our children, and spending nights in. Weekends are looking quite a bit different too – no team sports, no entertainment, no get-togethers. And while times are uncertain and the world is changing – flowers continue to bloom.
Spring is all about fresh starts, beautiful blooms, and now, more than ever, home projects.
Remember all those times you looked out into your backyard and thought, “one of these days, I’ll plant some flowers or a vegetable garden?”
Well, now is your chance!
Whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned green thumb, we’ve compiled our list of the top tips & tricks for spring gardening.
1.Out with the old: Before planting anything new – rake out winter’s debris. Cut away last season’s foliage, rake mulch, weed, and remove any dead branches. Check your fences for mold and warping caused by freezing and thawing. Cut the grass. Prune shrubs. Power-wash pavers and decks to remove mildew and discoloration. Think of this as starting with a blank canvas and spring cleaning your yard.
2. Prepare your soil: Once you have an idea of where you’ll put your new flower beds or your fresh flowers, shrubs, or trees, it’s time to prepare the soil. When the ground thaws, remove the sod and spread a 4-inch layer of manure or compost over the soil, then work it 10-12 inches down into the soil with a spading fork and rake it.
3. Choose your plants: Some flowers and plants are best planted early in the spring season. Bulbs like daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips are ideally planted as early into the spring season as possible. These bright blooms are sure to add cheeriness to your backyard outlook and maybe even your outlook on life. Cool-season container-grown plants like sweet peas, poppies, and calendula, and vegetables such as some lettuces, parsley, spinach, potatoes, artichokes, and peas, are best planted and transplanted in the early spring. By mid-spring, it’s time to start planting hardy annuals like pansies or snapdragons. Spring is also the best season for planting new trees and shrubs. Planting these early will allow them plenty of time to grow new roots before summertime.
4. Layer your mulch: A fresh layer of mulch around all your flowers and shrubs will help reduce the amount of weeding you need to do later in the season. Mulch helps soil retain moisture and regulate the temperature retains more moisture, and helps moderate the temperature of your soil. To further lessen the number of weeds, you may also layer a weed barrier under the mulch. You can use the bags the mulch came in for free or utilize special weed barrier fabric.
5. Eco-optimize your garden: There are many ways you can have a more sustainable garden this year. Composting, for instance, can divert as much as 30% of household waste from landfills and is a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers. Composting also helps plant growth and health. You can also utilize wall butts to start collecting rainwater and using that to water your plants, yard, and flowers—an environmental and economical alternative to other watering methods.
If you’re sitting around at home, wondering what to do and feeling restless – a few hours outside getting your hands dirty and creating something beautiful will not only improve the aesthetic of your home but your mood as well.
On March 3rd, 2020, at 1 o’clock in the morning, a couple EF-3 and EF-4 tornados touched down and traveled through downtown and into Wilson County to the east, traveling as far as Cookeville, over 210 miles. The tornados struck a few hours before voting stations were scheduled to open for the Tennessee Super Tuesday primary, according to National Review .
At least two dozen people were killed, and thousands of buildings were left damaged or destroyed – with streets impassable with debris and downed power lines. Many more were left without power and some have just recently gotten it back. This kind of natural disaster is one that typically makes the national news for days. Hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers quickly flooded the streets where the tornados struck, moving debris, helping residents salvage belongings, and setting up food stations to help sustain those picking through the wreckage.
Donations have poured into Music City in the wake of the March 3rd tornado, as city officials and residents look to rebuild expansive areas of Davidson County. On Wednesday, Mayor John Cooper told reporters more than $670,000 has been donated to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which officials have pointed to as the key resource for monetary donations, according to the foundation’s website. Those dollars have been redistributed to nonprofits in the community that are providing services to those impacted by the storm.
In addition, the Community Foundation’s collections, tech giant Google has committed $100,000 to Nashville’s recovery efforts, while Amazon, one of the city’s newest corporate recruits, has directly contributed supplies, the mayor said. Separately, Cooper said Hands on Nashville, the nonprofit tasked with coordinating volunteers, has received interest from 26,000 volunteers. Those volunteers have played a key role in helping Nashville transition from emergency to recovery. The previous owner of the Nashville Predators, Craig Leipold (now the owner of the Minnesota Wild), contributed a combined $50,000 to the recovery efforts. The National Hockey League (NHL) later matched that contribution.
Local Nashville Olympian, Shawn Johnson organized a fundraiser through GoFundMe on behalf of Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and over the course of a week raised over $114,000 with 3.2K donors, and 22.K shares. Over the course of the week following the tornadoes, the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee says more than $6.5 million in donations has been pledged to go to their emergency relief fund. Tennessee also received a $476,000 federal grant to support the mental health needs of victims of deadly tornadoes earlier this month. The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services says the grant comes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Crisis Counseling and Training Program.
On March 4th, just two days after the tornado, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced that the state had its first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus, according to the Tennessean. When calls for social distancing swept the nation as concerns about the coronavirus rose earlier this month, middle Tennessee was still reeling from the tornadoes. Houses were still roofless, people were still crashing on friends’ and family’s couches or in hotels and volunteers were still gathering by the hundreds to help the recovery.
This community, primed to show up physically for one another in a time of need, now grapples with an unprecedented challenge. How does a city deal with a natural disaster and a pandemic at the same time?
At the same time, the governor called for all schools in Tennessee to close last week to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. And since Monday, March 23, Nashville has been under a “safer at home order,” which closes all nonessential businesses and encourages residents to stay home. Still, volunteer efforts continued, even amid that changing tone. The focus had shifted from debris removal to donations, and organizations like Hands On Nashville, Gideon’s Army, and others established distribution centers for tornado victims to pick up donated food and supplies.

Nothing is quite as satisfying as coming home to a clean home. It’s pretty overwhelming to think of cleaning your home top to bottom in one go – not to mention, time-consuming – so take it room by room (or appliance by appliance) with these tried & tested spring cleaning tips by Lauren Smith McDonough and Caroline Picard from Good Housekeeping!
Your Phone
So the bad news is, your cell phone probably harbors more germs than your toilet seat! That’s why you should give it a once over with an alcohol wipe to zap germs, as well as other electronics – like your TV remote and computer mouse.
Your Bag
Take everything out, throw away the trash and random wrappers, and organize everything by category and purpose. Sort the smaller items, like pens, hand sanitizer, makeup, etc into little pouches, or purse organizers before you put them back inside. Wipe down the exterior with a disinfectant wipe while you’re at it!
Your Microwave
Enough with the random food stains – this trick will make cleaning them up much easier! Place a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water, and a chopped-up lemon, lime, orange, or several tablespoons of vinegar inside. Turn the appliance on high for several minutes, or until the solution boils and the window is steamy, and then let it sit to cool for 15 minutes before opening the door. Remove and wipe out the inside and outside with a sponge.
Your Fridge
You probably wipe down your fridge’s interior shelving on the regular already, but don’t forget about the rest. Pop out the door shelves and bins, and wash in warm, soapy water, to get rid of food bacteria and any spillage that’s occurred.
Your Kitchen Cabinets
Sticky kitchen grime is a mix of dust and grease that builds up over time. Rub the exhaust hood over your range every time you cook to keep grease from settling. To de-gunk, use a Kitchen Cabinet Cream to cut through dirt and leave shelves and doors moisturized. Do an extra pass around the door and drawer pulls and other places where grease may collect easily.
Your Junk Drawer (Everyone has one!)
Start small and pick your stash spot. Empty it out and vacuum up the dust. Toss or relocate any items you no longer need, or that don’t belong in that drawer. Everything else can go back, but in an organized matter! Repurpose mix-mated plates and bowls to store cords, stamps, and other odds and ends. Adding a nonslip liner will help keep them in place.
Your Shower Curtain
Did you know you can wash a plastic or vinyl curtain in your washing machine? Throw it in on the gentle cycle with detergent and add a couple of bath towels for extra cleaning power. Then hang it to dry. To keep the curtain cleaner longer, spritz it a few times each month with a bleach-containing all-purpose cleaner. Then just let the shower rinse it off, before you hop in!
Your Makeup Brushes
To de-gunk your favorite foundation brush, squeeze a few drops of shampoo or dish liquid into your palm, and rub the bristle tips into the soap, then gently work the suds through them. To rinse, hold the brush (bristles down) under warm running water. Gently shake over the sink to remove excess water, and lay the brush down on a paper towel to finish drying, and preserve the bristles shape and texture.
Your Shower Drain
To freshen drains (not unclog them), and help keep them free-flowing – mix ½ cup baking soda with ¼ cup table salt. Pour the mixture down the drain, followed by 1 cup of heated vinegar. It will foam and bubble – let it stand for 15 minutes. Follow by running hot tap water for at least 15-30 seconds!
Your Furniture
Pull furniture away from the walls and vacuum behind and underneath – and don’t forget about the baseboards and air vents! Then switch to the upholstery tool on your machine, and go over both sides of cushions and underneath them. The crevice tool can help de-gunk along the trim and stitching.
Your Bookshelves
After all of those cozy winter reading sessions, your library (and likely your kid’s too!) is in need of a cleanup. Take a few minutes to organize your coffee table books, bedside novels, or favorite magazines. You can alphabetize, coordinate by color, or sort by size – and take a quick wipe down of each, to get rid of the dust!

With schools being closed, virtual schools are being used to fill the gap left by in-person education. But with kids hanging out at home, how do you keep them focused on school? There are a number of simple actions you can take to make sure your kid’s eLearning assignments aren’t just getting finished, but also working effectively.
Structure a Schedule
While working or learning from home may seem like you can pop in and out of your assignments as needed, the opposite is true: having a routine and sticking to it is a surefire way to make sure your kids (and you!) are working effectively.
Waking up at the same time, having a designated work area, and knowing when to stop working for the day all work together to guarantee that the time they spend in front of the computer is productive. As an added benefit, your kids will develop strong time management skills, since they won’t have a teacher to keep them accountable for getting their work done.
Set Up a Designated Workspace
Your surroundings have a huge impact on your mood, mindset, and productivity. This goes for your kids, too! Make sure that when they’re working on assignments, they aren’t doing it on the couch while streaming television showsor while lying in bed. Separating their work areas from their play areas is important to make sure they’re staying focused on the task at hand.
While it’s easy to get distracted in areas like the living room or the bedroom, there’s another benefit to keeping work and leisure separate: you can relax in the spaces you’re supposed to. If you’re constantly working in your bedroom, you will eventually begin to associate that space with the idea of work, making it much harder to relax – or even sleep – in these areas.
Limit Distractions
A reminder: working from home still means work! Make sure your kids keep devices like cell phones, tablets, and games stored away until the end of the workday. This keeps them focused on the task at hand, and allows them to take in information and learn it easier, since their focus is totally on learning versus partially on school and partially on texting their friends.
Take a Lunch
This tip may be the most effective of them all! No matter how you’ve set your child’s workflow up, it’s important for them to take a lunch, as well as breaks a couple times an hour, to refuel and recharge. Make sure they’re getting nourishing, healthy food to keep them active and awake. Even if they aren’t hungry enough for a full meal, the thirty-minute to an hour-long break will do their brain wonders in regards to giving them a chance to recharge and tackle the rest of their day.
Whether you’ve got them set up with their own desk in a home office or you’ve cleared off the dining room table as a temporary classroom, these learning from home tips are sure to keep your kid focused for at least a little longer. For more ways to maximize your workflow while hanging out at home, be sure to like Lennar on Facebook.
