Moving is never an easy task, especially for those with families or hobbies that involve a lot of items. Most people need to hire professional movers, but the packing and unpacking can still be overwhelming.
Here are some tips inspired by the TLC Home network to make the process a little smoother:
Start packing little-used items early. Don’t procrastinate – start packing items that won’t be missed for a while about two months before the move. Label each box by its contents or room to avoid confusion.
Plan meals to use up pantry items. Packing and moving cans and boxes of dry goods can be frustrating. Plan meals to use up as much of the food on hand as possible. Get creative!
Make sure the moving estimate is accurate. Double-check that the moving company has included everything in the estimate to avoid any additional charges.
