Easing The Transition To Your New Home

For Your Family's Safety and Comfort

Teach your children your new address. let them practice writing it on packed cartons.

You can lighten your load and reduce any storage space you need to rent by hosting a garage or yard sale.

Fill two "Open Me First" cartons containing snacks, instant coffee or tea bags, soap, toilet paper, toothpaste and brushes, medicine and toiletry items (make sure caps are tightly secured), flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils, a pan or two, paper towels, and any other items your family can't do without. Ask your van foreman to load one of these boxes so that it will be unloaded at your new home first. Why the second box? In case the movers are delayed getting to your house on the day of the move.

Keep your pets out of packing boxes and away from all the activity on moving day.

Let all your electrical gadgets return to room temperature before plugging them in.
