Letter From the Lifestyle Team
HAYLEY SMITH YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER
Summer is on the Way!
It is hard to believe we are already almost half way into the year, but it has been packed full of so many fun outings and opportunities already! Your Lifestyle team has been working hard to provide a variety of engaging social events and activities to give you an opportunity to connect with your neighbors and make our Esplanade at The Heights community flourish as we enjoy the winter months.
As more and more people go under contract and close on their home, the bigger our social life gets! Please remember that as soon as you go under contract with Taylor Morrison on this property, you are invited to participate in all Lifestyle events and activities. The Lifestyle Program is tailored to your interests, so do not hesitate to reach out to us with your comments and suggestions for our events in the future.
From our two Signature Events, Seaside Social and Havana Nights, to our Cooking and Cocktail Series: The Art of Sushi and Sake demonstration, we have packed your schedule full
of all kinds of fun events! We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and enjoyed National Margarita Day with our friends; there is always something to look forward to.
Moving forward, though we lose some friends for the summer, we still have a lot on the schedule! From celebrating Cinco de Mayo together to doing a hands-on floral making class and bringing home your creation, to sipping on cocktails at a local distillery, there are events happening both in the convenience of the community and chances to get out and explore the surrounding area! Check out the following pages to see what is planned. Events are constantly being added to the calendar, so be sure to stay up to date by visiting EsplanadeHeightsLifestyle.com, selecting the calendar tab and browsing our plethora of events! We look forward to seeing you soon!

She is skilled at providing goal-oriented, outcome-based, therapeutically targeted massage. A native of New England, Nadia has enjoyed living and working in the Sunshine State since 2021.
Furry Friends
Meet Madison
LOVED BY KEVIN & MARSHA HARTMAN
Our dog Madison, aka “Maddie,” is a 3-year-old Mini Bernedoodle who has been part of our family since she was eight weeks old. Maddie is a little piece of heaven all wrapped up in one adorable dog. She loves belly rubs and can’t resist stealing socks from the laundry basket. Always ready to play and spend time with us, our daily walks are usually made longer because she has never met a stranger and makes it impossible to ignore stopping to say hello. With her loving eyes and wagging tail, Maddie brings absolute and unconditional joy to our lives!
Nadia will be available for Spa treatments Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 - 6 p.m. If you are interested in learning more about our Spa treatment offerings, stop by The Venue to speak with a member of the Lifestyle team. Below are some upcoming specials you can take advantage of at the Spa!

MAY/JUN 2023 ESPLANADE LIFESTYLE 13 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT / ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Cuban Sandwich
The Cubano, or Cuban Sandwich, came to Florida along with Cuban immigrants, in the 19th century and quickly became widely popular in the state. Prior to this, versions of the Cuban have been recorded in pre-colonial Cuba where yucca was used in place of bread and often the filling was fish or bird meat. It took the arrival of the Spanish, who introduced ham and pork, for the Cuban we know and love today to be born.
To make an authentic Cuban sandwich, it really requires Cuban bread which has been baked with a palmetto leaf on top; however, Ciabatta or French bread will absolutely suffice.
DIRECTIONS
1. Slice the bread in half and spread yellow mustard on the inside of the bread.
2. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each half.
3. Place a slice of sweet, cured ham on one half of the bread.
4. Place some mojo marinated pork on the other half of the bread.
5. On one half of the bread, place thickly cut pickles then close up the sandwich.
6. Place the Cuban sandwich on a lightly greased griddle. Take a heavy skillet and place it on top of the sandwich so the weight can press the sandwich down.
7. When the bottom begins to turn crisp, turn the sandwich over and repeat.
Clean Earth Challenge
The National Wildlife Federation and Johnson Outdoors have teamed up to inspire people to get outdoors and take simple conservation action to help clean up our planet.
Get started by taking the Clean Earth Challenge! It’s as simple as picking up trash on your morning walk, at your favorite beach or local park. Or you can join with friends, family, neighbors, classmates and co-workers in a community effort to help make our planet a healthier, happier place.
Our goal is to collect one million pieces of trash and debris that litter our beautiful land, oceans and waterways. This pollution has a devastating effect on the health of our ecosystems, wildlife and the planet. By taking the Clean Earth Challenge, you help improve the health of our environment. Every piece collected counts!
