5 Beauty Products I am ‘Utterly Butterly’ in Love with…

Why do you need to think of (almost) everything when you are planning to move house – Moving home can be a very stressful time. Therefore, it is good to be well prepared before the moving date so that there is nothing that has been forgotten or left to chance.

It is a good idea to make sure that you have food provisions and beverages packed so that if any member of your moving team or family gets thirsty or hungry, there is something there ready for them. In addition to this, it is also wise to make sure that you know where your local take-out or diner is so that you do not have to cook on your first night at your new home, and you can just relax and put your feet upon arrival.

Planning your Move –

It is important to plan your house to move down to the finest detail so that it has every chance of going as smoothly as possible with little or no hiccups at all.

If you are packing your own boxes, make sure that they are well labeled with what is inside them and that which room they belong to is written clearly on each face of the box. This is so that you will be able to see where they are going regardless of how they are stored or stacked. It is also a good idea to mark each surface of boxes that contain fragile items so that they are not stored at the bottom of stacks where their delicate contents can be broken or damaged.

Also, when packing, be sure to pack your essentials in a separate overnight bag so that when you get to your new home, you will not have to go rooting through boxes to find items that you need if you are too tired to start unpacking straight away.

Moving pets is more stressful than you think, while planning to move house –

It is important that you think about your pets when you are moving and the stress it can have on them. Seeing everything getting packed up around them can cause anxious behavior and a feeling of insecurity.

Where possible, it is a good idea to hand them over to a friend or a family member to look after, where they are used to going, until all your items are out of your old home. If possible, unpacking their items and making them feel comfortable should be one of your priorities.

When it comes to moving larger animals than cats and dogs, you will need to look into specialist transportation such as Shiply for your horse transport. Looking into the transport of this kind can take a long time, especially as this is due to finding a business that you are comfortable and confident with to look after larger animals. However, by going to a business such as that are reputable transportation brokers, you may find that finding the right business for you at the right price may not take as long as you think, giving you more time to make sure that your horse is as comfortable and prepped for travel as it can be.

Supporting your kids –

A house move that involves a school or college move for kids is more stressful than most people account for, especially if your kid is not an outward and confident type.

There is the stress of leaving friends and classmates behind and not knowing whether there will be a connection to continue afterward. Along with not knowing anyone where they are going and trying to enter into friend groups that are already well-founded and close-knit.

Some kids have great trouble adjusting to new surroundings, and that is not just in the new home itself but also within the surrounding areas.

A way of helping your kids adapt is to listen to them, take notice of how they are within themselves, and watch closely for any change. They may not want to talk to a parent, and it could very well be beneficial to try and keep a connection with an old friend in your previous town so that your kid has someone they know and trust to confide in, especially if they are of the same or similar age as your kid.

Moving your tech

When it comes to moving your tech, you need to make sure that the removal company that you have chosen is fully insured and that the insurance covers the price of your items should they get damaged or broken during the move. It is wise to read the small print when it comes to any type of insurance, but especially for removal companies. This is because, for some of the businesses, it states that the items must be packed by the removal company for them to be covered under their insurance policy. This is to say that if you pack it, they load it into their van, but when it reaches the other end, it is damaged, then you will not be covered by their insurance for a claim.

If you are moving it yourself, make sure to pack it correctly using the item’s original packing, if at all possible, to protect against damage. Also, unless your cables are color-coded, it is a good idea to label your cables so that you know at a glance what piece of tech they belong to. This will make setting up in your new home a lot faster and easier.
