Make Moving Easier on Yourself

Summer is the season when many people make a move from one house to another. Whether moving to the next neighborhood or across the country, it’s important to pack well. Some of our closest friends will be making a move soon. When asked if I had any newspapers to pack up their dishes I remembered something better. Newspaper of course has ink all over it. Newspaper print would leave a smudge on the dishes. Who wants to rewash everything when relocating? I had another idea for her and I’m hoping that you have other great packing and moving tips to share with our friends.

I went to a small newspaper/ printing company and purchased the unused end of a roll of paper. I’m talking about the same paper that the news is printed on. Often they sell these to the public for various uses. You can make banners with this long roll of paper, cover tabletops, and line the bottom of your refrigerator drawers with it. It is a handy household item to keep around. But let’s get back to our moving discussion.

While we’re thinking about helping friends pack and move, what helpful advice can you give us that really helped during packing and moving for you?
