Are you moving with kids and looking for some tips to make the process go smoothly?

Moving and packing up your moving boxes with babies and/or young children is very difficult. Kids like a routine. Not only that, but we as parents also get used to all of the little routines that we do day to day with our little ones. Therefore,  when a person starts to pack up a home to move, everything gets altered; schedules, environment and nap times, which is difficult.

The good news is that there are some tips you can use if you are moving with kids to make your moving day easier.

#1: Get a Babysitter Several Times While You Are Packing, Not Just On The Move Date
Many people plan on getting a babysitter once they move, which is definitely helpful. However don’t forget about the planning stage all done weeks before your move.

Give yourself some uninterrupted time and hire a babysitter so you can have a moving planning time.

#2: When Moving With Kids, Start Packing Your Moving Boxes Months in Advance.
If you are a parent you know that EVERYTHING takes longer when there are little ones in the home.  If it took you two weeks to pack without children, it might take you two months with children. Give yourself time. This will decrease your stress and make it easier.

#3: Donate or Give Away Any Toys that Your Child Does Not Actively Use
Children accumulate so many belongings. There is never a time when this is more evident than moving day. Most people find toys for a 2 year old in their garage, when their child is 6. Take large boxes and put any toy that is no longer used into a “donation box.”  It will make it easier to organize your kids rooms if you decrease the number of toys that are moved.

#4: Keep a Consistent Schedule in the Weeks Leading Up to Your Move
Kids love routine and schedules. If their nap time is between 2-4, do everything you can to keep this routine. Eat dinner at the same time and wake up accordingly. In the weeks leading up to a move, it is so easy to let all the normal day to day life functions go.

#5: Pack Only One Room at a Time Completely To Eliminate Chaos in the Home
To make it easier on your children and you, pack one room at a time. Completely finish packing these rooms before you move on to another room. Start with the rooms that are not used as often. Perhaps a formal dining room, or a guest room. Push the moving boxes out of the way (make sure you label what is inside and what room they should be placed in) and move on to the next room.

#6: Talk to Your Babies or Toddlers and Assure Them That the Whole Family Is Just Moving To  A New Home
Change can be scary for anyone, including a little toddler. When moving with kids, the more you talk to your toddler and explain what is happening, the better. Tell him or her that mommy, daddy, Suzie and Jonny are moving to a new house together. We will still all be together, but just have new rooms to play in and a new yard. Make it sound like fun.

#7: Let Your Kids Get Involved in Helping If They Are Old Enough
If your kids feel that the move is taking you away from them, they may not be as cooperative. Try to play games that keep them busy and interested like coloring on each one of the boxes once they have been shut and sealed. The artwork that they make on the boxes will make you smile and keep them busy.

#8: Find Some Good Stories That Talk About Moving and Packing
Use your moving experience as a way to teach and share what moving means and what it is. Your kids love to learn and will be interested in what all the commotion is about.

#9: If you have some favorite puppets, use them to talk about moving and what is occuring in the home. Let your kids play inside of the moving boxes. This can keep them entertained for hours.
If Elmo the puppet is filled with fun and adventure about the move, your kids will respond with glee playing inside of all the boxes for moving.

#10: Don’t forget to take some time for yourself and to “turn off” moving activities at the end of every day.

You can only get so much done each day and don’t forget to enjoy your family even during this stressful time.

Happy Moving!

If you need moving boxes and moving supplies and you are a mom caring for small children, you now have a wonderful, time saving service to help you out during the stressful time of moving and storing-Moving Box Delivery!

I am a mommy of two babies under two and I am a business owner. I am like 49% of women accross the U.S. trying to juggle work and family effectively. Life is crazy, hectic, and just sheer “nuts” at times, but I would not have it any other way.

I am always on the hunt for new approaches to simplify life, add more time in the day and take away stress as both a mommy and as a business owner.

One of the methods that I have used that has made my life  a lot easier, is I now buy as many things as I can on-line. This one little change in my buying behavior has drastically impacted the quality of my life, and my family’s  life.

Instead of going to Target on the weekend to buy clothes, diapers, formula, shoes, 0etc, we are instead spending more time at the park, museums, playgrounds, and puppet shows. Shopping is no longer the most frequent activity that we do together.

For example, instead of having to go to the drug  store seemingly every day,  I started buying diapers at  http://www.diapers.com, I order formula from Amazon, I buy baby clothes from various boutiques, I buy my clothes from a long and tall shop, and I recently ordered a table, art supplies,  and some toys from Babies R Us for the kids just last week. I am always on the hunt for places that offer free shipping and make it easy for me to save my time in buying things on-line.

Now that is life on a “regular day.”  Life is made easier by ordering my stuff on-line. What about when you are a mommy who is moving with small babies? You not only have all of the regular tasks and things that need to be done, but now you have to get ready for packing, moving and unpacking.

When you are a mommy  and you add a major move with two babies and a career, and there are lots of balls juggling in the air.

If you are a mommy of small babies and have moved recently, then you know that  it is not easy to carry all of the boxes from the store to the car, or go from one place to another trying to find boxes; all while you are  holding a car seat with your baby and your toddlers hand. That is on a good day when the babies are not crying or needing their nap.

If you are a mommy of older children, the great news is if you order your moving boxes on-line, you won’t have to find a babysitter or take time off to drive to the store to buy moving boxes or spend more time doing errands instead of going to the park.

If you are a mommy who is also juggling work outside of the house, well then you know that every minute you can free up is time well saved. Why waste precious free time buying boxes when for less money you can have them delivered instead.

Lets face it. Many of us are moving to new cities and locations where we don’t know anyone. Some women are in the military, moving ahead of their husbands, or corporate moves where the mom moves and gets settled in. Being a mom and juggling two babies trying to find moving boxes, or transport them in the car just makes moving less stressful. You don’t have to.

I understand that I am not able to take the stress out of ALL aspects of moving, however I think that I can help make the packing process a lot less stressful for LESS money than you would spend doing it the stressful way.

If you are a mommy, let me know if it help make your move easier by ordering your packing supplies on-line. I am very interested to hear if this service helped relieve stress for you. I certainly hope it does.
