The Simple Life has moved from Minneapolis to Orange County!
Along the way I figured out some tips to help make moving a little less stressful and a lot more smooth:
1. Pack by room and get even more specific than that. Pack all of your clothes with your clothes, shoes with shoes and try not to mix and match unless they go near each other in the closet.
2. Give your stuff away! When you are packing, try and keep your new home in mind. Where will this fit? How long has it been since I used it? Could someone use it more than me? I found ( after two trips to goodwill) that it would have been a lot easier to do this prior to packing all the stuff up.
3. Unpack your kitchen first, it makes everything else seem easy!
4. If you are moving into a second or third story where you will have to carry your boxes up the stairs, make sure you get some friends or neighbors to help! It will cut down on the time and make it seem a whole lot less overwhelming. A box of pizza is always good payment!
Do you have any great moving tips?
