Moving Like a Pro

Moving can bring an unruly amount of stress to anyone. But there are steps you can take in advance to make moving as smooth as possible. You’ll thank yourself later for the preparation you do in advance!

Get boxes from your local liquor store

These are a great alternative to buying boxes at Home Depot or Lowes! They’re free, and a great size for packing into vehicles. Plus, this option is more sustainable than using new boxes.

Declutter beforehand

Being intentional about what you pack for your new place will make the move (and unpacking) a quicker process. Since you’re going through all your belongings anyways, now is the perfect time to get rid of duplicate items, broken things or items you no longer need or use.

Pack one room at a time

It can be overwhelming to think about all of the things and rooms that need to be packed up. Take one room at a time, and if time allows, break it up further by doing just one room a weekend.

Ask for help!

At the end of the day, moving can be really hard. Don’t be afraid to ask friends and family for help. Moving day will go much faster - and you can order takeout together after all the work is done!
