There’s lots of advice about how to pack, when and in how many boxes per room. But there are also a few important items to leave out of your packing routine and keep with you instead of putting them on the moving truck. Keep these three things with you to help make the process of packing and moving go more smoothly for yourself and your family.
Kids’ Favorite Toys and Clothes
Help your children make the adjustment to their new home easier by keeping their favorite toys and clothes ready for them to use. Not only will it help reduce the meltdowns but it can also ease their anxiety about being in an unfamiliar place.
First Aid Kit
It’s easy to get small scrapes, cuts and bruises while packing boxes and cutting sealing tape to prepare them for the movers, and it’s even easier to pull a muscle or strain your back. Avoid packing adhesive bandages, alcohol wipes, over-the-counter pain relievers, ice packs and even elastic bandages to alleviate common concerns.
Valuable Documents
Keep documents like birth certificates, passports and medical records on hand instead of putting them in a box for the movers to take. You may need some of these if you have to register children for school, complete pre-employment paperwork at a new job or even visit urgent care for a chronic condition.
