No matter how prepared you are, moving can be stressful -- with all that sorting, packing, and loading! Here are some interesting facts about moving that can make the process easier:
At some point, you will need help.
Even if you're having a DIY move, you can't do it alone. You'll need extra hands in lifting large furniture, heavy mattress, and other bulky objects and loading them into the truck. If it's not possible to have someone to call, you may want to hire professional moving help. It's a great way to avoid moving day stress. Get a moving quote and see what services and packaging options are being offered. You won't regret it!
A checklist saves you a lot of pain.
You'll eventually forget something, even those who have moved for their second or third time keep a handy checklist. Professional movers suggest printing out checklist for packing, moving, and loading.
You don’t have to do the packing & loading all in one day.
If you do, you'll end up exhausted. Again, it all boils down to planning and getting a head start.
You’ll be too busy to keep an eye on your little ones, including your furry friends.
The safety of your kids and pets should be one of your priorities when moving. Have a friend or family nearby to take care of your kids when you are arranging your move. If not possible consider hiring a babysitter to look after them in one of your empty rooms. Your pets can be left in an empty room as well with adequate water and food.
You don't want to drive a moving truck.
Once you've loaded all your belongings, there's no denying that you want to join your family in your own car. Leave all the climbing and driving a huge truck to your moving crew.
