5 Things To Do While You're Being Moved
So you've been there before. Your movers arrived and you didn't know what to do with yourself. Should you help? Were you in the way? You are not alone in these thoughts, it's common not to know what to do. Not to fear, we are here to help. We have some ideas!
- If there is more than one of you, assign someone to go to the grocery store in your new neighborhood and stock up your new fridge. By the way, offering snacks and cold refreshments to your movers is always appreciated, on either end of the move. Think about foods like bananas, granola bars or maybe even frozen fruit bars.
- Did you forget to empty out your freezer and fridge? Now might be a good time to box up those items for your car if you are taking them across town to your new home, or toss anything that is old and needs a replacement. Ew, toss out that science experiment from the back, please. Okay, we'll allow the kimchi or sauerkraut fermentation brewing in there. ;)
- Pack fragile and valuable items into your own vehicle. This way you will be responsible and know that they're in your own car and not at risk for damage .
- Hang out with your children and/or pets if you have them. Ideally, they are with a friend or sitter, but if they are not, then spend time with them and keep them occupied in a safe space. The goal is to maintain some normalcy and calmness. Of course, keeping them out of harm's way is of most importance.
- Once all is set at your old place, head over to your new home and prepare for the movers to arrive with your stuff. We recommend you stand near the entrance and direct the movers where to put each item as they walk inside with it.
