Kara, what good suggestions. I especially like numbers 3 and 6, and of course getting the kitchen in order is important.

My husband’s job used to move us frequently. We once lived in one place for 6 months before we moved again. We had moved at that time 7 times in 6 1/2 years! It got to the point where I left cleaning supplies in their boxes and put them under the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Then when it was time to move I just closed up the boxes.

Your suggestion about packing a box of things you needs is VERY important and really does help keep things easier. The only thing I would add is to also keep a box of toiletry items and toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaners.

I love these ideas. Two other ideas I have written about are:
1. Notice the things you do in your own home that you don’t do in an acquaintance’s home. Like taking off your shoes or peeing with the door open. Then do those things as soon as you can.
2. Set up a space (one room or even a corner) that feels done even if it probably won’t stay that way long term. Then when you are feeling overwhelmed with the process, go hang out in that spot and enjoy your put together corner of the house.

Loved this post!

I recently moved from St Paul all the way to Seattle! Enjoy Saint Paul – it’s a very different vibe from Minneapolis but it has its own charm and I think you’ll be a very happy homeowner there! <3
