Moving a Messy Room
Moving a home is a challenge which can turn out to be pretty exhausting. And when it comes to moving a messy room, you may not want to have the fatigue which comes as a consequence. It would be ideal to clean up the mess so that you don’t take the clutter to the new home. As a matter of fact, moving to the new place offers you the opportunity to get rid of the mess and make a fresh start.
Messy rooms are usually the ones where toys are overflowing on the floor and the boxes are scattered everywhere. Now, you may want to imagine packing things in such a room before moving. You would honestly have no idea where to start with. For this purpose, you will need to organize the room before packing.
Organize home before packing
In order to organize things in a messy room, you need to put items into three categories, i.e. keep, throw away, and donate. When you will start organizing the room, you will find a lot of junk which you wouldn’t want to drag to the new home. All this junk is going to be useless so you need throw all these items away. Now, look for the items which are in good state but you don’t need them. These are the items which are quite suitable for donating. Donating these items will not only lighten your load but you will also be able to have fresh start while helping others. The final category belongs to the items which you want to keep. These are the items of your need so you have to start packing them.
Don’t forget to pack a bag with essentials
There are going to be a lot of items in the room that you need on daily basis. These are the items which you are going to need in the new home the moment you arrive there. So it is a better idea to pack those essentials separately. You can tag that bag with the name ‘essentials’. Items such as toothbrush, floss, toilet paper and other things used on daily basis are the essentials that you need to pack in that bag.
Label the boxes
Labeling the moving boxes helps you and your movers to place those boxes at locations those boxes belong to. This labeling is quite simple. You need to name the boxes with the rooms of your home. Now, place items of a particular room into the boxes which would be labeled with the name of that room. For instance, items belonging to the living room need to be put into the boxes with labels “living room”. You can also use color labels for better identification of the boxes.
Hosting Your 2020 Holiday Gatherings
Now that the new year (and new decade!) has officially begun, I’ve already started mapping out the major holidays for the upcoming year while getting some ideas for what I can do with my family and friends. After all, with holidays come get togethers with the family, and almost every family likes to celebrate and spend time together around a dinner table eating delicious home-cooked food. And I mean, heck, even get togethers with friends and coworkers usually end up in dinner parties as well. It’s just the nature of things.
Something that makes dinner parties so much more special, though, is the work you put into hosting them. And even if you’re not the designated host, it helps the host immensely to offer your help with things, even if it’s as small as bringing an extra dish, some shipping supplies for carrying things around, or some drinks for others. While those little things may seem small to you, the thoughtfulness of bringing them in the first place is huge to the host.
Spring Holidays
A lot of families celebrate spring holidays for cultural reasons, and some in America celebrate it for the kids. No matter what your family does, it’s something filled with pastels and candies and spring-themed animals. This is where you can get creative with your shipping supplies, such as making some cardboard cutouts to go the extra mile.
Memorial Day
A lot of folks like to get together with their family and friends around this weekend in May because the weather is almost always beautiful and it’s one of the first weekends that most people get off work for more than just 2 days. My tip for this holiday? Bring lots of fresh foods, and embrace the warm weather!
4th of July
You can’t go wrong in hosting a party for Independence Day, as it’s a good excuse to break out the grill and cornhole boards and soak up the sun. Many families do this on the family lake or by the pool. Water always seems to be a staple in this holiday tradition, and that’s most likely because of the super hot weather during July. Just make sure you have enough to keep you and your guests hydrated!
Thanksgiving
Perhaps the biggest family gathering of the year, Thanksgiving is all about the food. If there’s anything I can advise, make sure that all of your guests are accommodated. That means even your vegan friends and those with food allergies.
