Planning a Successful Move

About Me

My husband and I got married in the month of June in a beautiful church ceremony nearly 10 years ago. After the wedding, I moved into my husband’s home. Unfortunately, I was not very organized at the time. Therefore, my move did not go smoothly. I remember having to unpack boxes for weeks. Because I didn’t put much thought into how I packed my belongings, I had a difficult time finding everything. For instance, my fine china somehow was placed in boxes with shoes, books, and hair styling accessories. If you’re planning an upcoming move, good organization is essential. On this blog, you will learn several techniques for planning a successful, organized move.
