Moving Tips for Busy Families

November 26, 2021 by admin

Moving is always a big job, but when you have a job, small kids, and a couple of pets, things become even more complicated. We turned to one of the best pack and ship moving companies in Boston for moving tips for busy families, and here’s what they had to say:

Moving Tip for Busy Families #1: Know When Your Deadlines Are

Once you’ve scheduled your movers, you have a firm deadline for when all of your things need to be packed and ready to go. This date needs to be clearly and repeatedly communicated to all of the family members old enough to understand. For younger family members, it’s a good idea to explain the move in simple terms they can understand – for example, we’re moving after Christmas. When everyone understands the timeline, it can make it easier to get the jobs involved in moving done in a timely fashion.

Moving Tip for Busy Families #2: Get Help

There’s a time when it’s nice to do everything on your own, independently. That time is not when you’re trying to get a household ready to move. Get help when you can to make the process easier for yourself. This could be having a friend watch the kids so you can pack their things without their input, having the pets boarded while the movers are getting the furniture so you don’t have to worry about them stressing out, or even having the local pack and ship moving company handle packing your household possessions up for you – it’s a real time saver.

Moving Tip for Busy Families #3: Picture Labels

One quick and simple tip to make unpacking in the new house easier is to take a picture of what’s in each box before you seal it shut. Print these on sticky labels and put them on the moving boxes. Then when you’re on site, it’s very easy to tell which boxes are for the kids to unpack. The sooner they have their stuff in place, the sooner they start feeling settled in.
