Packing & Moving Tips

Guest Author: Sarah Oneal

The idea of moving is daunting to say the least. We have just about a week or two to get ourselves in gear to get out of this house and into the next one. And what have we done?

NOTHING!

It's sad I know. I can hear it now, you have less then 2 weeks and you haven't done ANYTHING?

Seriously, this is sad.

For some odd reason, its as if this house will be a very easy move in my mind. What goes through my mind is:

We don't own much.
The house is ONLY across town.
I've got two little ones, who has TIME to pack? (Let alone, pack and re-pack, because as we all know, toddlers are SO helpful, that they want you to learn how to do something 100 times over. So they will “unpack” for you, before you move...)

Yep, moving into this new house is going to be a very interesting adventure.

To top it off, in less then two weeks we have to get a few things done BEFORE the move!

Paint 2 bedrooms, living room, and kitchen (they are all an awful color and just SO dark!)
Figure out if we can re-carpet the house, or will we end up with wood floor

I feel as though I am a procrastinating scatter brained organizer wanna be. Does that even make sense?

So many ideas of how we will actually move into this new house are going around in my head, and yet here I sit with a cup of coffee blogging about how I should be getting ready to move into the new house! haha

I know in the end it will all work out. It may be chaotic, stressful at times, feel like eternity before the new house is IN order, but I will be doing it all with the man I love more then the day I married him and our two adorable kids. What could be better then that?

We're sure you did well with your move. For those who are going to move, organizing and sorting items can be one of the first steps to do before packing. This can help get rid of certain items that you don't need and lessen the number of boxes. Being one of the moving companies Lincoln NE, we have experienced that with proper planning, everything will turn out fine.
