If you’re looking to buy a home in an active adult community in south Hillsborough County, here are a few things to know about Lennar’s Medley at SouthShore Bay:
New floorplans complement the empty-nester and retiree lifestyle

Lennar’s single-family homes in the community range from the 1,683-square-foot “Morningtide” with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage, to the 2,775-square-foot “Daybreak” with three bedrooms, 3 ½ bathrooms and a three-car garage.
The villas in the community are one- or two-story, two-bedroom homes with a one-car garage and flex space or a loft. Select villas will be furnished as part of Lennar’s “Stay and Play” option, where prospective residents can experience the community and stay for a few days before purchasing a home.

Oh holiday breaks, we have a love/hate relationship with them. The dream of “days off” is quickly shattered by the reality of trying to plan ahead for days of activities and holiday fun for the kids. If you’re wondering how you’ll survive this winter break with your beloved children, we are here to help! Here are 10 ways to keep the kids busy over the holidays, and keep you sane as well.
1. Make a Holiday Playlist
Get the kids to help you put together a playlist of all the best Christmas tunes. Everyone can enjoy the jolly music during diners and holiday parties.
2. Bake Christmas Cookies
Let the kids get their hands dirty in the kitchen by baking cookies together. Not only will the kids have something to do but they will be rewarded by devouring their sweet creation.
3. Make Custom Ornaments
The kids will love leaving their mark on the family Christmas tree by creating personalized ornament.
4. Build a Snowman
If you happen to live in a state where it snows, get the kids’ snow boots ready and head out the door. Your kids will love building a snowman and you’ll get some good pictures out of it too.
5. Have a Gingerbread House Family Night
There is not cuter holiday tradition than decorating Gingerbread houses with your loved ones.
6. Make S’mores and Hot Chocolate
There is no such thing as too much chocolate. So, treat your kids to some hot chocolate and s’mores after dinner one night.
7. Visit a local Holiday Attraction or Festival
During the holiday season, there are many local attractions and festivals to attend. Make a list of all the most exciting ones and get the kids involved when deciding on which ones to visit. After all, if they are happy you’ll be happy.
8. Have a Holiday Movie Marathon
Let the kids stay in their PJs all day and snuggled them up in the living room. Play all their favorite movies and let them snack on some cookies and milk.
9. Volunteer at a Local Non-Profit
Holidays are also the time of the year many are trying to give back to the community. Look at your local non-profits and sign up to volunteer. Not only will be doing a good service but your children will learn the importance of helping others.
10. Make Reindeer Food
Kids know to leave milk and cookies for Santa, but what about the reindeer? This year let the kids prep reindeer food. On Christmas Eve when setting up for Santa they can spread some reindeer chow on the lawn.
If you are planning to go into the new year clutter free, now is the perfect time to toss unnecessary items. This Realtor.com article by Audrey Ference can help you clear out your home and make room for all the gifts your family will receive. You’ll be glad this will be one less thing to worry about in 2018!
The holidays are widely known as a time when people acquire more stuff for their already well-appointed homes. But in fact, it’s also a great time to purge—in part by necessity (removing the old makes room for the new), but mainly because the holidays require you to dig through your attic, cupboards, and linen closet to deck the halls, throw together huge feasts, and basically make use of all your worldly possessions down to your rattiest bed linens and last scrap of tinsel.
In short: If you aren’t using something over the holidays, then odds are you’ll never use it at all. Here are some prime things to toss.
1. Kitchen gadgets you never use
“There is a good chance you are using the maximum potential of your kitchen tools and cutlery during the holidays,” says Lily Cameron, a cleaning expert at Fantastic Services. Between big family meals, holiday party hosting, and the special baking projects you do once a year, you’ll probably be pulling out all the kitchen gear that’s normally crammed in the back of cabinets or sitting in boxes in the basement.
2. Expired spices
Cookware isn’t the only thing you can declutter. “The holidays are also the perfect time to organize your baking supplies and spices,” says Cameron. “Check the expiration dates, and throw away everything old and/or unused.”
3. Holiday decorations you don’t put up
This may seem obvious, but once your house is decorated with lights, ornaments, and other such sundry decor, whatever holiday items you own that didn’t make the cut—and are still lying sadly in the bottoms of your boxes—should be cut from your life completely.
4. Linens and towels you don’t even give your guests
If you’re hosting guests, chances are you’ll be using your extra sheets, towels, blankets, and washcloths. Anything you don’t need when your house is at maximum hosting capacity is probably not necessary to keep. So, get rid of stained or torn bedsheets and towels, ratty blankets, pillows that are past their prime, and any other linen closet clutter you’ve been ignoring. Old pillows are usually full of gross mites and should go in the trash, but most animal shelters can use donations of old towels and bedsheets, even ones that aren’t in great condition.
