Where to Find the Best Moving Tips
Let’s take a break from talking strictly about moving supplies for a moment. If your moving day is quickly approaching, you may have certain questions you would like to get answered to help make your move a success. Sure, there are plenty of collections of moving tips out there, but they rarely address a broader range of issues. Here, we’ve collected a few tips on some moving topics that are often not covered in a typical guide…
Moving With Children
A lot of the difficulty of moving with children actually has to do with the lead up to moving day. Depending on their age, they may not want to move or even understand why the family has to move at all. If they are especially young, you may want to arrange for a sitter or a family member to watch them on moving day. Movers-Edge.com also suggests it can be helpful to have favorite or familiar items ready to be unpacked first at your new place, helping your children get accustomed to their new surroundings.

Selling Your Old Place
One thing that is rarely found in moving tips is any mention of selling your current home. Unless you’re especially wealthy, you probably don’t have any interest in taking on two mortgages, meaning you’ll have to sell your old place before moving to your new one (hopefully). How is this a moving tip? Well, imagine how much lower your stress and anxiety will be if you don’t still have a For Sale sign in your front yard. Especially in today’s real estate market, it can be tough to stand out. But you’ll want to have every advantage possible in order to make sure you sell your house in a timely manner. FlyLady.net says that ordering a dumpster may be an important first step for those of us having difficulty de-cluttering the house for showings.

Pre-Packing for Your Move
Pre-packing could easily be the most effective way to limit stress on your moving day. I mean, you’d love to wake up on your moving day and have all your boxes already packed, wouldn’t you? It’s not quite that easy, but you can certainly start packing some things away weeks before your move. Some people will even get themselves down to just the bare essentials for the last few days in their house. Maybe you’re not ready to go to that drastic of a measure, but you’d like some tips on packing up some clothes before your move. MovingDayBoxes.com suggests an “80/20″ rule for clothes. They say most people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time, and will therefore likely need them sometime before their move. The rest can go into boxes.
