For me, the worst part of moving isn’t dealing with finding a new place. Or selling your old one. It’s the actual, physical act of moving itself. I absolutely hate packing everything I own into boxes, moving large pieces of furniture, carrying the boxes to and from the moving van, unpacking everything, getting organized…it’s completely exhausting. I know, you can hire movers to do the heavy lifting, but if you’re on a tight budget, it’s much cheaper to DIY. If you are moving soon, check out these packing tips by Darby at Life With The Hawleys to make everything easier:
-Pack the vacuum last so you can clean the house before you leave-
-Make sure the boxes you get have HANDLES (Lowes is a good place to look)
-Place foam disposable plates between dinner plates so they don’t chip
-Put a few books in many boxes instead of having several heavy boxes
-Make a basket to put keys, wallets, purses, phones, chargers, etc., in so they don’t get packed/lost.
