Transitioning from one home to another doesn’t have to be difficult!
Although many families find moving day to be an extremely stressful time in their lives, taking some time to organize and pack properly can really make a difference on the big day. If your family is getting ready to move house, here are three tips to help make the moving process go smoothly.
1. Prevent surprise by stocking supplies.
Have you ever tried to pack for a vacation the night before leaving, only to find that you were missing some essential travel item? Moving from one house to another is like taking a lifelong vacation and families should plan accordingly – by making a personal check list of the estimated number of items being moved and purchasing supplies to keep those items safe and organized.
Typical items needed for a large move include:
- moving boxes in various sizes
- padding materials to keep furniture items safe
- bubble wraps & wrapping sheets to protect breakables
- a strong pair of scissors
- heavy duty packaging tape
- label stickers or a label maker
- and permanent marking pens.
2. Clean out clutter and organize objects.
There is nothing worse than coming home to a cluttered home – and moving day presents an excellent opportunity to get rid of unused gear once and for all. Take advantage of the ultimate Spring cleaning opportunity and sort through clothing, papers, books and decorative objects to make sure you’re only moving the items you really love.
Once you’ve emptied your current house of garbage and unwanted materials, pack up your valuables one room at a time. This will give you a chance to properly label each and every box with the intended location of its contents – which will make it a lot easier to unpack later on.
