It's Movin' Day in My Home Town....
Both of my children moved over the week end...one moved further away and one moved closer. In a perfect world they would both live next door to me but, sigh, nothing is perfect. There is a bright spot...I can now drive to my son's and stay the night then drive to my daughters and do a return trip the same way. I know they are both delighted! :)
My best moving tip is to let someone else do it. My next best moving tip is to start packing the non-essentials early. We also leave the mattresses to be the last thing loaded so they are the first thing off...just in case.
Do you have any packing moving tips to share? Please leave a message with your best moving tip and you'll be entered in the August end of the month giveaway.
I've been tagged by Debbie of Cozy Cottage Gifts and Decor (you really should check out the goodies she sells) to list seven things about myself. Gee I think ya'll know enough about me but here goes anyway:
1. I can remember the words to almost every song I've ever heard but can't remember where I put my cell phone 2. I am almost always right...I thought I was wrong once but I wasn't 3. I am ambidextrous 4. I'm very near sighted with an astigmatism and it ain't gettin' any better :) 5. I'm finding out that old age ain't for sissies 6. I can walk to my little cottage shop 7. I'll need to live to 110 to get everything finished that I've started. How about you? I'm not going to tag anyone I'm going to tag everyone...so if ya'll feel like sharing please do ! (())
My wish for you: May all your moves be smooth ones and all your baggage be light.

Awww...so one is closer and one is far. Your right it would be so wonderful to have your children right next door. I loved reading a little about you. I wouldn't mind living up to 110 too! But that is only if I can still do it all by myself without help..lol
Hope you have a great week ahead sweet Francie!

Love your little fun facts!
What a great tip about the mattress! LoL
My favorite moving tip, make sure not to forget a "new broom" my mom said never use your old broom in a new home, it's bad luck! So, buy a new broom.

Let's see, moving tips....label the boxes as to what rooms they will be going in in the new house and throw out half the stuff you've accumulated before packing. It's a great way to get a fresh start. :)
My best moving tip I will give you from all my homeowners that I have dealt with over the last 8 years. Sell all your crap and buy new stuff for your new house! Every last one of them say's to me "why did I move this stuff?"

Moving tips..uh uh....no, no, no! Don't move...just clean the house it is easier! Moving is definitely not one of my favorite things to do! I miss my kids (and grandkids), too! Wish they lived next door, too!!!!
It's great that you figured out a way to visit both your son and daughter! How cool is that.
Unfortunately I don't have any moving tip as I have lived in the same house for 22 years!
But I hope your move is smooth!

I have moved so many times with the military..#1 rule label and number the boxes..some may come up missing. and always pack a week of clothes and other needs for everyone in the family. Too many times, we got to the new base before the movers. This point is for military families..always have the military persons' gear seperate from the family boxes. My husband would usually have to report before all the boxes were unpacked.

It's hard enough to have to unpack everything.
