The Big Move

The Big Move

So It’s time to move and you are overwhelmed with what to do first. Don’t worry, I have some great tips and suggestions to help with this crazy time.

I would suggest taking the time to make a list and go through each room 1 by 1 in your home and figuring out what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. Chances are you have many pieces that may not work in your new place. Start taking measurements, and pictures, and see if you can return to measure the new place you are moving into. This will help you place each item your keeping just in the right spot in the new home you’re moving into. Next give unwanted items to friends, goodwill, a cancer center, or place on Craigslist to make a little extra money for the move. Make sure you start looking on Craigslist too for free boxes, wrapping paper and bubble wrap. There are always people coming and going and they want an easy way to get rid of their boxes. Many times, they place them on the curb or street and they are free for the taking. This is a great way to recycle and save money at the same time. Another great way to get boxes, is to call your local grocery store and they will save them for you if you call ahead. Then it’s time to start packing. Most of us have a friend or 2 that will offer to help. Make a great lunch for them, put on some great tunes and start packing away. I know in many instances some of us don’t have time to plan. Do what you can and try to make sure to take some time for yourself to go on a small walk in the am or pm to decompress. This will help give you clarity and perhaps some more ideas for the new place! Happy moving!
