Kathi Burns, Founder of addSpace to Your Life!, talks now about being organized in your new home and offers some final unpacking suggestions.

******************************

A Few More Unpacking Tips

1. As you unpack, spread drop clothes under boxes and in high traffic areas to catch dust and foot debris.

2. To help your kids get used to their new space, create an agreed upon ‘home’ for each possession. The ‘home’ is the place where the item will get stored when not in use.

With this method, when it comes time to clean up, you should say, take that toy home, not put it away. There is a BIG difference between putting away, i.e. under the bed or pillow and taking it home to a pre-determined and unmistakable holding zone until further use.

3. After moving, resell or recycle your boxes. Pack and ship faculties will gladly recycle your bubbles. Peanuts have a half-life of 500 years so think twice before you toss them into the trash.

Enjoy creating your new life and lifestyle. You worked hard to find your dream home and you deserve a break. If possible, schedule time off after your move so you can recover from the move and fully settle into your new home with ease.
