3 Tips for Moving Day

You've packed, you've booked movers, you have someone to help oversee them (hi!), and now the big day is right around the corner. Here are a few things to help make the day go as smoothly as possible:

1. Your Go Bag Set Aside
You've likely already prepared a bag with essentials you'll need for a few days leading up to and after the move - if not, now's the time! Before the movers arrive set your go bags somewhere out of the way so it's not accidentally swept up by quick movers. FYI, your car is a great place!

2. A Plan for Your Pets
Moving is as stressful to your pets as it is to you and moving day chaos will be terrifying for them. Plus, you don't want them underfoot or bolting out the door. Put their favorite blankets, food, toys, and treats in a separate box, then bring that box (along with their bed/crate and litter box) into a separate room as far from the commotion as possible. On the day bring them in there and check on them periodically, this will help them feel safe and keep them out of the way.

3. Order Food & Stockpile Water
Do you want snacks around? Do you want to feed not just yourself & family but anyone helping you with the move? Remember your kitchen is packed and moving day isn't a great time to cook. If you figure out your plan for food before the day you won't be scrambling in the moment and no one will get hangry. Keep plenty of water on hand, especially if you're moving on a hot day.

Now you're set and ready for Move Day and can sleep easy the night before knowing everything is set.
