Moving

We're FINALLY moving, and I thought I'd take a moment to talk about the move.

Biggest Moving Tip:
Number every box, label the contents of every box, and copy both the number and contents into a notebook. I am ridiculously organized about packing. I have a plethora of blue paper left over from our wedding, and each box has a blue paper taped to it with the number and contents written on it. This makes it easier to read, and really differentiates the current contents from the previous contents as most of the boxes were used before in moves made by either us, or our parents.

It is hard to move with a baby getting into everything at the same time. If you're a stay at home parent, it is invaluable to have your spouse take a week off to help pack. B has been carting boxes upstairs to the garage and also just keeping G out of my hair so that I can get stuff done. Last week G figured out how to climb boxes which would have made things a nightmare for me if I was alone.

Not much else to say. I probably won't update until we get internet in the new place. Hopefully I'll post pics of the new apartment and my progress in decorating and organizing it. It should be a lot of fun! I'm also planning on FINALLY trying all those recipes I Pinned, so we'll see how that goes too.

  1. Can't wait to see pictures of the new place and hear about your recipes. Moving is so much work! We purged stuff like crazy and were as organized as we could be considering boxes were coming from three locations! Happy unpacking!
