Almost all of us are so excited once we are moving to a new home. It's all wonderful and thrilled until we start to realize how much crap we have.
Here are helpful tips everyone should know:
1. Have a yard sale or garage sale and get rid of unused or unwanted items. In some cases I find it easier to donate items if you're in a time crunch. The time you spend organizing a yard sale could be used in preparing your home for the sale which can net you more money in the long run. Everyone situation is different so do what is best for you.
2. Assign a different color duct tape or Numbers to each room so the boxes are easier to identify and placed in the correct room in your new home.
3. Pack a clear “First Day Essentials” bin filled with the things you’ll need most as soon as you arrive at your new home.
4. Use plastic wrap or paper and tape to wrap silverware trays.
5. Use large Ziploc bags to keep kitchen and bathroom drawer things together.
6. Pack spices in a large slow cooker or pot to save space.
7. Use cardboard dish pack partitions to pack breakables.
8. If you already have items organized in bins like toys, just use plastic wrap to secure them before packing.
9. Tape off all items that can spill like shampoo, cleaners, cooking oils, etc. Place these in large zip lock bags
10. Use a trash bag to quickly pack hanging clothing.
11. Get to know stretch wrap – it is by far one of my favorite packing tools.
12. Buy and re-sell boxes and packing material.
Be sure to organize everything before moving. It will save you time and headaches on the back end.
