Make the first 24 hours in your new home easier by having a bag that you keep with you. This will insure that the transition into your new home will go more smoothly.
First things first. Your wallet, keys, valuables, medication, contacts, glasses and important documents should all be in the bag.
You absolutely should know the whereabouts of these items at all times! Having these things together will help keep you calm. It can be frightening when one of these items cannot be found quickly.
Know Before You Go!
Switching gears to packing items that might not seem as important as the items listed above, but will certainly help having at hand.
It’s easy to forget which box you put your phone charger or your laptop in once you arrive in your new home and find yourself staring at 30 identical boxes.
Start by making a list of the items you use daily. Collect these items and add them to your bag.
The First 24 Hours
Next, consider what you will need easy access to for the first 24 hours in your new home. Pack a tooth brush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, towels, toilet paper, shower curtain if needed and pajamas. It’s also best to have a change of clothes so you aren’t hunting around for them the morning after the move.
Consider Children and Pets
It’s important to also have the necessities ready for children or pets if they are part of your move. Think about what each needs to be comfortable for 24 hrs and pack those things too.
Often Forgotten Essentials
Lastly, it will be a timesaver to have a supply box that you bring to the new home.
Cleaning supplies, trash bags, scissors, a hammer and a measuring tape will be very helpful.
Having an organized bag ready to go the day of the move will prove invaluable.
