Preparing For Moving Day...

Moving can be hectic and stressful. Here are a few simple tips on how to stay organized and make things easier for you and your family,

1. Before you start packing, host a garage sale and get rid of any unwanted items.

2. Start packing in one room and finish before moving on to the next.

3. Use good, sturdy boxes. Pack things carefully,

4. You can use sheets, blankets, etc. to seperate your pictures and fragile itmes.

5. Be sure and pack plates and glass objects vertically, not stacked up or flat.

6. When the movers arrive be sure to point out where your fragile things are. They should be able to tell you if you have them packed in a sturdy enough container.

7. Remember the heavier that the item is, the smaller the box it should be in.

8. Be sure to label your boxes, especially the ones that contain the items that you will use on your first night (towels, sheets, etc.).

9. Start packing in enough time so that you are not rushed.

10. Keep in mind that this is only temporary and soon enough you will be enjoying your new home!!
