Moving Survival Kit

Sometimes little things can make a big difference. Here's an idea that can make a big difference in seeing that your moving day goes smoothly. Create a "Moving Survival Kit" filled with the essential items you'll need when you arrive at your new home. Set this box aside so it doesn't get mixed in with all the other boxes.

If you're traveling to your new destination by car, label your survival kit DO NOT MOVE and take this box with you. Otherwise, tell your movers to see that this box is the last to be loaded and the first to be unloaded.

Here's what you might want to include in your survival kit: first-aid kit and pain reliever, bar soap, toilet paper, shower curtain, extension cord, trash bags, light bulbs, flashlight and fresh batteries, telephone, pens and paper, scissors, utility knife, screwdriver, pliers, hammer and nails, cleaning supplies, paper towels, dishwashing and laundry detergent, dish cloth and kitchen towel, paper cups, paper plates, napkins, silverware, kitchen knife, can opener, canned and dry food, coffee and coffee pot, towels, sheets, pillows and blankets.

With a little planning and attention to the details, you can do a lot to help your moving day go smoothly.
