For many people, moving is stressful and chaotic. We watch our families grow up, have parties and celebrations, and share love and sorrow in our homes. Our homes tend to reflect who we are. Therefore, when we decide to make a move, it can be difficult to sever the emotional ties to our home.
Here are some suggestions to help you achieve a smooth transition:
* Dispose of things you no longer need, donating usable items to charity.
* Enlist sufficient help for packing and moving, especially if you are not hiring professional movers. Make sure you have someone to watch the children and take care of pets.
* Obtain good moving boxes, bubble wrap and paper, and packing tape. Use bold felt markers to label the boxes by room. This helps keep things organized and easier to unpack later.
* Have a basic tool kit on hand for minor repairs or for dismantling or disassembling items to be moved.
* Order a change of address from the post office and have new labels made.
* Call to arrange utilities, including telephone and cable service, in your new home and cancel service in your current home. It may take time to arrange service for your area.
