Move Management – Moving & Packing with Kids

movers that pack for you sydneyIt’s no surprise that “moving house” has been ranked as being one of life’s most stressful experiences. So if it’s an overwhelming and emotional time by adults and parents alike, how do our younger generations feel and cope with such a major home life transition, especially if they have only ever known one home?

This article aims to provide some informative tips and insights on how to survive each stage of a big move with your little ones (and not so little ones) and how Mooving matters, your full service packing and moving team and professional organiser Sydney can help you along in the process.

 

1. Before the Move:

 

Talk about the Move and get them ready:

  • Once the decision has been made to make a move, its best to organise a family meeting and have honest and open communication on the moving plans with your kids. Teenagers especially don’t like surprises so make sure your immediate family know what is going to happen and when changes will commence and also how they are expected to help. Involve them where possible in the decision making.
  • Try and answer all questions your kids have truthfully.
  • Even if the transition is for the better and will improve family life, children may not understand or see it that way, and tend to focus on the uncertain aspect of the move such as making new friends in a new neighbourhood.

 

Introduce them early to the idea of moving, the new house and new suburb:

  • If you can make a family excursion to the new home and new area they’ll be living in prior the move. This can help minimise any anxiety they may have and at the same time engage and create excitement. If this isn’t possible take a virtual tour online.
  • Research the new area and its opportunities for new activities.
  • Let them gain ownership and give them a chance to think about how their new bedroom will look.
  • Get young children to read books about families that have moved house to help prepare them for the move.

Packing and de-cluttering

  • Moving house is the best opportunity to de-clutter. A good rule of thumb and a great of move management strategy is if you haven’t used something in the last year then it’s time to toss it.
  • When de-cluttering, set up a box of items to donate, a box for goods to sell, and a box for the items to be binned. If you think you will have a lot of rubbish, it’s a good idea to order a skip for the week or two before your move. Keep toys and clothes to be moved to a minimum.
  • Let kids get creative and decorate packing boxes to show what’s in them
  • Get someone to look after kids while you pack, or pack in the evening when the children are asleep. If you need to pack during the day, get the kids helping to pack the non-fragile items. Otherwise save our precious time and the the headache and get MOOVING MATTERS – your home organiser Sydney in, the movers that pack for you… and don’t forget to ask about our decluttering services!
  • Disassemble the beds and let them sleep on the mattresses for a week or so before the move.
  • Leave their favourite toys out as long as possible and pack everything else first.

move management sydneyA lot of Mooving Matters clients have young families. “If you have the time you could look to pack yourself but throw a couple of kids in the mix, it definitely helps to have some extra experienced hands to help you out and relive some of the burden on your family”. Director of Mooving Matters, Anne Maree says, “I hire only experienced mature and reliable women, because we understand the level of service our clients are after and deserve”. Their full service packing and moving package run by only professional organisers could be the answer to your moving prayers and offer you peace of mind.

“It’s highly recommended if younger children can stay with friends or family or a sitter on moving day”. This will ensure not only that they don’t get bored or hold up the process but also their safety – because when removalists are carrying out a heavy piece of furniture, the last thing you want is the little ones getting in the way or in danger.

“As movers that pack for you and more, we ask what time the kids are due to arrive to their new home and we will make certain to have their rooms unpacked and ready for them. Their bed made, all their toys out and their clothes ordered neatly in the wardrobe. It’s the little details that show you care and give the room that warm welcoming feeling.”

2. On Moving Day:

 

  • Use a baby sitter if possible or ask for help from family and friends – especially if you have younger children, otherwise you’ll have to keep your eye on them during the move.
  • Pack a picnic – sandwiches and drinks for when you all need a break. If they are with you on the day prepare snack packs for the kids
  • If children are old enough let them help – they can take care of pets, in pet-carrier
  • Make the move fun – provide a fun-pack for each child to keep them amused and out of yours and the movers way. Packs can include – Books or Picture books, Colouring and activity books and crayons, Stickers and sticker pads and Small puzzles.
  • Keep tools needed to put beds back together handy. Always stick screws and bolts to bed frames in a zip lock bag.
  • Have beds & linen ready – Have the beds put together first thing so everyone has somewhere comfortable to sleep on the first night.
  • Get the kids rooms set up as a priority and make them as homely as possible.
  • Hiring a removalist WILL make things easier to move in one go. You can also ask removalists to put the furniture together when you arrive.
  • Move house while the children are at school or day care so that they’re not underfoot. It is important to make sure the kids are occupied and not in danger.
  • OR just let your professional organiser and packing services Sydney- Mooving Matters take over! Simple as that!

3. In the new house:

 

The last but most important stage of your home’s move management.

  • Prioritise your new home set up – bedrooms and kitchen are first inline and then get the bathroom ready for use. The fridge and BBQ or microwave (for easy meals) are essential items to have ready to go in the new house.
  • It’s not uncommon for children’s behaviour to change with the changes. Give it a little time.
  •  Save some left over packing boxes for play for the little, they will love it.
  • Keep the kids room as similar as possible to the old house and let them help set up and decorate their new rooms.

You have found the property to move into but you’ve still got to sell the old one, and the time is ticking because the longer it takes the more it costs you. Although you can partially stage a property for sale while you still live there, as soon as your removalists are out the door is a great time to maximise the impact that a home stylist can bring to the potential of your sale.

What are the benefits of Property Styling?

The mafull service packing and movingin aim objective of this service is to help to sell or rent your home in the fastest possible time, at the highest possible price.

Houses and units that have been styled especially by a home organiser for the purpose of selling stand out against those properties that have not.

Cleaning: Ensure the property is clean inside and out, windows, carpets, everything should sparkle!

Presentation: The property must be tidy and decluttered, and this should be maintained throughout the Open Inspection period.

Other additional commonly asked questions…

Does the property have to be vacant?

No, the property can be partially staged while you still reside at the property.

If the home is vacant, what areas are best to have styled? 

The general rule of thumb when it comes to staging your property is to always style the living room, dining room, kitchen, main outdoor area and master bedroom.

What are the top tips when it comes to presale styling?

  • Let in as much natural light as possible and turn on all of the lights and lamps during open homes. This will make the property feel bigger, fresher and brighter.
  • De-personalise your home by taking down all family photos – you don’t want the buyer to feel like they are in someone else’s home, you want them to feel like they are in their home.

What if your budget is on the tight side?

You don’t have to go with a whole property makeover if the budget just doesn’t allow for it,

movers that pack for you

 

So is there a magic formula to help you have the most successful move experience? Yes! Mooving Matters and their “Ultimate Move”- full service packing and moving package can take the stress out of every aspect of your pack, move, unpack and styling! To help get you started thou below there are some handy tips that a good home organiser lives by to help you achieve a smooth transition from one home to the next:

1. Say goodbye to useless items

Don’t let old furniture and boxes of meaningless stuff follow you and take up space in your new home. Plan at least a couple of weeks prior to your moving date, to begin the process of going through and sorting each room’s contents. Create four categories to stick to: keep; to give away; to sell; to dispose of. Move management is so much easier when you stop being a hoarder and declutter your home & life. Moving is the perfect time to reassess and re-edit your furniture and homewares.  Get rid of anything that is broken or that you have fallen out of love with. Moving can be that perfect time to splurge on something you really love for your new home.

 

2. Keep it clear and simplefull service packing and moving

As your experienced packing services company of Sydney, Mooving Matters recommend to create order with cheap stackable labelled storage containers, they will let you store
everything, from flours and sugars to cereal, in plain sight. A dedicated area for electrical kitchen appliances is a must and if your pantry has deep shelving that makes it hard to see what it contains, your local $2 shop or supermarket will have storage baskets that are perfect for all of those spice jars, pasta and rice. The baskets can then be pulled out like a drawer instead of rifling through piles of groceries each time you need a random spice.

 

3. Avoid moving in the summer or on a Friday or Saturday

The worst months to move house happen to be the warmest, according to research. It is also the busiest time in the moving industry, therefore when demand is high so are the removalist rates. The best season to get moving is actually Autumn as there is less traffic, smaller delivery timeframe and full time employees. And with days of the week Sunday is the best day as only 7% choose to move then rather than nearly 20% on a Friday.

 

4. Deal with admin tasks in advance

Move management is about tying up all your loose ends and the moving process isn’t only about the transportation of your belongings. One of the most stressful and overlooked aspects of moving house is tackling administrative tasks prior to moving day which include:

  • Change of address and forwarding mail to the new place,
  • Cancelling utilities and researching providers at the new place,
  • Informing your bank/insurance company of new address,
  • Dealing with realtors and ceasing rental agreements or selling property.

 

5. Use plastic cling wrap to pack liquids and jewellery

movers that pack for youEven the best efforts to carefully wrap delicate items and safeguard liquids can be undone whilst in transit. To avoid disappointment when unpacking your boxes, cling wrap can be your best friend.

Cling wrap can be used to also keep necklaces and bracelets from getting tangled. Lay a few pieces of jewellery on a length of plastic wrap and fold the wrap over. Press around your items to keep them separate.

The plastic film can also be used to prevent liquids from spilling. Simply unscrew the lids of bottles of shampoos for example, then place a small square of cling wrap on top. Screw the lid back on to secure the plastic and create a second protective layer to avoid leaks.

 

6. Reserve a parking space

When Hiring movers be aware of unforeseen additional fees and prepare your space before they arrive.

Moving companies can charge extra rates for tasks such as disassembling & reassembly of any furniture, storage fees, if there is no lift access, or if the truck cannot be parked near house or building entrance and movers have to carry boxes more than 23 metres. Employing Mooving Matters and taking up their full service packing and moving service will keep it all covered and dispel any doubt on hidden fees.

It is always handy if you can park your car in front of your home at least a day before the move to ensure the space is available when movers arrive, and to also measure doorways to check if furniture can fit through with ease.

 

7. Create a labelling system & order your boxes

A golden rule of all movers and packers is creating a logical and clear labelling system and leaving any essentials like a flashlight or first aid out and accessible for emergencies.

Categorise your household items and boxes they are packed into, into groups based on the room they’re located in, material they’re made of and frequency of use. This can be of great assistance for the movers that pack for you.

Start with the items you use rarely, and don’t mix items from different rooms or items that generally don’t mix as liquids or food with clothes.

 

8. Use linen instead of bubble wrap

Packing supplies can add up and become costly so before stocking up on supplies, look to your home first. Your home is full of free packing materials, such as old clothing, bed linen, pillows, laundry bins and baskets, and suitcases.

For example you could wrap crockery in old T-shirts or put pillows and blankets in garbage bags and seal them. When you load the truck, use them as padding between furniture or fragile items.

Otherwise Mooving Matters “Ultimate Move” – Full service packing and moving service will organise not only all the essential packing materials but the packing and unpacking of all boxes for you!

 

9. Fresh and clean Start.move management

Prepare your new home by cleaning it from top to bottom before moving day so that you can put things away immediately once the boxes start to arrive. If you are planning on painting or installing new flooring, do it while the house is empty instead of trying to do it around your belongings later.

Move management – Declutter Tips for every space

 

Declutter Misson #1 – The Kitchenmove management

When decluttering your kitchen, the best place to start is with the items that take up the most room; pots, pans, plates and containers – throw out any chipped or cracked crockery and any pots or pan with broken handles or heavily scratched surfaces . If you can’t find lids to plastic containers then throw them out as they are pretty much useless. Your pantry is usually hiding some ancient items so check use-by dates on cans and bottles of food and discard accordingly. It’s always a good idea to sort pantry cupboards every quarter to 3 times a year to keep things under control.

 

Declutter Mission #2 – The Bedrooms

Are your wardrobes bursting at the seams? Number one rule is to only have seasonal clothes hanging in your closet. If there aren’t enough shelves in built-ins, utilise storage systems for inside the wardrobe and compartmentalise those messy large drawers, for example keep your best lingerie separate from everyday underwear.

 

Declutter Mission #3 -The Family room and or kids play room

Make it easy for your kids to help you keep the home tidy and ready for the movers that pack for you. Make sure children have easy and accessible spots put their toys away when they’ve finished playing with them. That means boxes or containers without lids so their 2 little hands can manage the task.

 

Declutter Mission #4 – The Bathroom

Are your drawers and cupboards filled with disused bottles of shampoos, soap, shower gels, discarded make-up etc?

Mooving Matters, the movers that pack for you recommend the following DIY packing and moving tips:

1. Declutter! – Move management always starts with reviewing your current belongings. As decluttering services experts Mooving Matters recommends if you haven’t used an item of clothing it in months or years or can’t see yourself wearing it again look to pass it on to friends or a charity. By reducing or culling your household items and belongings before the move helps tremendously in lightening your load and reducing your time or movers time & and will certainly save you money during the pack and unpack.

2. Seize the moment! – When you know you are going to move… start the pack as soon as possible by sorting and or packing items you don’t use daily or weekly so that closer to move date just the essentials as kitchen, bathroom and the larger furniture items are left to tend to.

3. Label it! – The more organised you are the smoother the move will be…Look to label boxes with where they are to go in new home and also include a basic description of its contents.. For example “Main Bedroom – summer clothes”, this will make it much easier for the movers that pack and unpack for you. Another tip is to try and write on the actual packing tape or label rather than on the box. Boxes in good condition can be reused or bought back by the movers or removalists.

4. Boxes ain’t Boxes! – Use the right materials, strong packing boxes and creates and packing tape. If packing yourself don’t take the cheaper avenue and risk by using hardware store or supermarket boxes, unfortunately they are never strong or durable enough, this is a golden rule in move management. And take the word from movers that pack for you – forget about wrapping your wine glass wear and fine china plates in newspaper, its messy and leave an imprint on everything, white butchers paper and bubble wrap are clean and safer method!

5. Urgh I packed my tooth brush! – Keep it simple and hassle free and pack a few boxes of essentials these can include things you will need for the first night in your new home. Items it can include are toiletries, bed linen, food staples and small appliances as the kettle. Ans then you can leave the rest for the movers that pack for you!
