Moving Tips & A Giveaway!!!

Filed In: Contest, Giveaways, links/websites, opinion, random

With moving right around the corner, I thought it appropriate to share some of my my mom’s infinite wisdom. I asked her to think back to my last (sixteen!) moves and come up with a list of do’s and don’t’s. Together we have created the perfect guide to ensure a successful move.

Once again I’m asking you loyal readers to switch over to Guidespot to check out our tips and laugh a little. What’s in it for you? Well I’m glad you asked. I’m already looking forward to relaxing with a large glass of wine after this move. This got me thinking about the wine tasting I had earlier this summer. I then realized I ordered a gift to giveaway to my readers. I keep putting it off, but not anymore!

Because wine is a vital part of moving, I will give away this ceramic wine trivet:

All you have to do is head over to my guide and leave a comment sharing a moving tip, a funny moving experience or what you most/least look forward to about moving. Only those who comment there will be entered to win. If you don’t have anything to add to my guide, browse around the site and comment or contribute to someone else’s guide. Just be sure to give me the link to your comment!

Thank you in advance for reading and good luck to my wino friends who want this trivet! The contest winner will be announced on Tuesday, October 28th.

Edit: My Moving Tips Guide is NOT a Community Guide, meaning you will not see an “add to guide” button. If the guide is surrounded by red, it is a normal guide in which you can only comment. Those surrounded by green are community guides in which you can comment or contribute. Sorry for the confusion!

I recommend moving a little bit at a time. I moved from my parents’ house in the burbs to my house over a span of two weeks. I would fill my car with stuff, truck it over, unpack it and put it where I liked, and crash on the couch that the previous tenants left.

It was ridiculously easy, and the only boxes I used were….none…unless I bought something and it came in a box. And maybe a box for packing glassware. Otherwise, you can fit a lot more clothes in your car if you leave them on the hanger and lay them flat on top of other things – then there’s no need to re-hang.

I had nightmares all night last night. I woke up in a cold sweat. This has nothing to do with anything except maybe I’d like a glass of wine with breakfast.

dudette! I feel so out of the loop lately – I had no idea you were moving!

But YAAAY! Those can be all kinds of awesome.

I miss you!

I totally agree with the toilet paper rule — I’ve learned that one the hard way. An addendum to that one is don’t pack the shower curtain. I’ve learned that one the hard way too.

You can’t have too many packing materials, and label everything!

Also, save yourself at least one plate, bowl, and set of cutlery. That way you can pack up the rest of the kitchen.

I recommend packing a little bit at a time and focusing on a room a day if possible (depending on the size. FYI: there is something adorable about that Paint picture. Your man friend looks mighty strong.

Moving is a stress full job and we need to plan it very carefully to make it less stressful. I think professional movers are a good choice. When I moved I hired Box and they did their job pretty w ell.
