It's been two weeks of summer vacation. It's been two weeks since I punched a time clock. It's been two weeks of doing what ever we want.
We have spent a lot of time at the pool playing with family and friends.
When we weren't pool side, we were busy attempting to begin process Big Move. Having never moved before I did not realize several things. First just how much stuff I have that I never move or use at all. And just how attached I can get about all the unused stuff.
It's going to take a lot of running to offset the stress of going through, getting rid and relocating a lifetime of stuff. I think I am off to a healthy run to pack ratio so far!
Any helpful hints on how to make the move less stressful?
Do you organize it all as you move or once you are relocated?
Definitely cull the excess before you move and label the boxes really well so you can put them in the corresponding rooms. All the best with the move!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't used it in awhile or didn't know you have it then get rid of it. Label the boxes properly with content and room location makes unpacking easy.
ReplyDeleteMoving is stressful. Get rid of as much stuff as you can. It makes the move less work and less expensive. Plus it's less stuff to unpack.
ReplyDeleteWe purge as we pack. Don't take anything that you can't live without. It makes for a lot less stress and fewer boxes. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMoving is very stressful - especially with kids and all their things. I agree with Teamarcia, label everything! It helps. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThrough out as much as you can before the move.

ReplyDeleteDonate and clear out as much as you can now. Organize your stuff as you pack. Label boxes. And don't get stressed when you can't find it later because there is always something that tries to elude you. And as you know, keep running! It will all work out. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't moved since 1996 when my twins were 10 months old. I don't think I ever want to move again ... I can't imagine how much crap I've accumulated since then. Glad you're enjoying your two weeks off so far...pool time is the best! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, moving is very stressful, but just think about how clean and organized everything will be!
