What a hectic week! We moved and though we have moved before, each time seems worse than the last. So, if you are moving across town or across the country I think I have some advice for you.
If you have small children, it is really important to have a dedicated person to watch them, or for them to stay with. With so much going on it is easy to momentarily be distracted. A new house, new things, and toddlers could easily slip out the door. I don't have to tell you what sort of danger lurks outside of your watch.
With the children being the first concern, it would be wise to pack a few days of clothing, bedding, medications and even a favorite toy for each child. It could take days to find their items if you don't plan well.
Next on the chart is your personal stuff, including jewelry, money, important papers, and medications. Along with some clothing, keep those things with you. Somehow all my important papers and credit cards were packed for me to take, but I forgot to keep them with me, and now they are someplace in the garage!
Lastly, bedding and towels should be close at hand. Add toilet paper to the list, it is essential.
