Moving is something we'll all likely do at least once in our lives. It can be an overwhelming process. But, armed with this list of questions and guides to help you every step of the way, you'll be moved in no time!

Are you considering a move? Moving is no easy feat. In fact, I have moved at least six times in my adult life.

Once was from Virginia to North Carolina, another was within North Carolina, and then back to Virginia from North Carolina. My husband, son, and I lived in a 2 bedroom apartment when I was pregnant with my daughter. So, with each move, I have learned a few things to make my moves easier.

Should I Move?

If your family is expanding or your home just isn’t a good fit anymore, these tips will help you to determine whether it’s the right decision for you to move or not. Read this post considering 4 Reasons it May Be Time to Move.

What Do I Need to Know About Moving With Kids?

If you and your family are preparing for a big move, these tips on moving with kids will help save your sanity, make your kids feel more comfortable, and lighten your load. We moved from North Carolina back to our home state of Virginia when my oldest child, my son, was four. He left his preschool and we had to get rid of our dog. I’ve got five mom-tested Tips on Moving With Kids.

Should I Hire Professional Movers?

Moving. The word conjures up excitement over new space, furniture, decorating– new everything…and dread over the actual packing. Moving is an inevitable part of life. Whether you are a DIY type of person or always reach for the phone book, a case can be made for leaving moving to the professionals, like Baltimore MD Movers.

Here are 10 Reasons You Should Leave Moving to Professionals.

What Additional Considerations Should Military Families Know About?

There are many factors for military families to consider when deciding on a home purchase. They may face challenges to finding on-base housing, need to know how school rating affect moving decisions, and have to remember how often military families have to move. Did you know these Facts About Moving That Affect Military Families?

How Are International Moves Different From Domestic Moves?

Speaking of military families, are you looking for advice from experienced professionals about moving overseas with your family? I know someone who had to move with young children overseas due to the spouse’s military deployment. In addition to the typical challenges that families having moving with children, there were many other considerations this mom had to make. Here is a list of everything you need to get started on this journey with Professional Advice on Moving & Transloading Overseas With Kids.

What’s the Best Way to Pack?

When it comes to your next move, does your checklist include the three most important packing tips? Don’t miss these 3 Packing Tips Everyone Should Use.

How Can I Stay Organized During the Moving Process?

In putting this post together, I did a lot of online research about moving. I read a press release about a company called Bradford Movers, well known Newmarket Movers, which is a family business that took moving people to a new level by building special custom moving trucks to move people better and expanded their storage facilities. Their website offers a Moving Checklist, which provides a list of tasks to complete, week by week, beginning eight weeks before you move until you’re all moved in.

What are your best tips for staying sane during a move?

Moving is something we'll all likely do at least once in our lives. It can be an overwhelming process. But, armed with this list of questions and guides to help you every step of the way, you'll be moved in no time!

    I do like to pack myself when moving – there are plenty of places that you can find boxes. As I am packing up, I do purge things that I haven’t used in awhile so I’m not taking anything that doesn’t have a purpose. I do usually sell these items or donate them. When moving, I do prefer a moving company as they are very handy with the heavy items such as furniture and appliances. Thanks for sharing!

    Great tips Raki! For most people moving house is one of the most stressful life events but I think that the key for a successful move is the good preparation. You should have a strategy and square away the details like how many boxes will you need and what type of packing materials do you want to use.
