Now, this is such a helpful and realistic guide, moving can get overwhelming fast and you broke it down in a way that actually makes it feel manageable. I love the timeline approach, especially the reminders about inventory and handling utilities early.

Moving is never fun. I’ve moved countless times over the years. My current house is my forever home. No more moves because it’s too much work. I found that if you wrap your dishes in towels, blankets, or sheets that the chance of anything getting broken decreases. I’ve done this with each move and I never had anything broken. I also start packing up unneeded items first. Last move I wrapped my hanging clothes in trash bags to keep it from getting dirty. Plus if anything fell off the hanger it didn’t get lost.

Funny you should post about that, we are currently preparing a property to move into although we aren’t sure when we will be moving just yet. There is so much to think about and it does help to be prepared. We are currently clearing out items to donate to local charity shops as there is so much stuff that appears to have been accumulated. Not sure if we will be using a moving firm yet as some of the items are needed for staging when we put the old place on the market. We will need to get suitcases packed for the items we will need within the week after we move so these items are readily available. Lucky we aren’t moving far at least.

I appreciate these moving tips. We’re probably going to be moving later this year. There is so much to think about. Good idea to start planning eight weeks before the move!

Oh gosh, I hate moving. We had to do it a ton as a military family. I’m so glad to be in one spot now. This is some fabulous advice.

A few years ago, I had to help my mother-in-law move and I wish I had read this article back then. We left so many things to the last minute. Having a timeline with action items is really helpful!
