That is the question! Moving day can be revealing, it’s the most common time you realize the amount of stuff you have. Don’t panic, take a deep breath….. This is when you will find that great piece you were looking for to compliment your living area in your new home, or that piece you can sell to your neighbor for a couple extra bucks towards your moving cost. Don’t want to sell? Your local charity will be thrilled to receive your donations. Keep or don’t keep, Check!

Preparing for the day of and after your moving day should always be considered. Know your essentials for each family member to be comfortable for a couple of nights as the majority of your belongings will be packed away for safe transit. Begin the separation of your essentials so that it’s not packed away when you need it.
