I freaking hate packing. And that passion is not limited to
packing an entire family of five to move to a new place. I hate even packing to
go somewhere for the weekend. How many outfits do I need? Do I have enough
Q-Tips to last the whole trip? How many pairs of undies? (Over-sharing alert: I
always pack way too many underwear. But
who wants to have that be the thing you run out of??)
But sorting, organizing and packing up a whole house is seventh
circle of hell stuff. And if you read this post, you know that I just finished
this whole process a year ago. And the year before that. And the month before
that. Seriously, guys it’s ridiculous.
So instead of jumping in and doing a little at a time and
being proactive, I went with the old Brittany standby and tried to plan out the
perfect way to move. The only problem? I couldn’t find anyone who could tell me
exactly the best way to go about getting started. There were a few lists and suggestions, but I needed
someone to really spell it out for me. Or just come and do it.
Here are a few sites/lists/whatevers that I found. They might
be helpful to you, so go check them out!
Since neither one of those things happened, I ended up
putting off the packing until the last possible second. Literally. I was that
annoying person who was still packing on the day of the move. I just had
random stuff sitting around and my wonderful friends were nice enough to talk
me down off the ledge, pack up all of my crap and move it to a new place. You can’t
buy friends like that.
All this to say, I needed a step-by-step list of the best
way to pack up your house to move. I couldn’t find one, so I’m going to give it
a whirl for anyone else out there that is dragging their feet and anxious about
where to start. It may not work for you, but hey…I’ll give it a shot! Come
back!
