It seems like moving should be easy enough, but actually it can be a pain. There are a lot of things that you have to remember when moving and something is bound to be forgotten. For this reason, have a spot that your child can start stacking their stuff a couple of weeks before the move. It will be much easier for them to remember everything if they have a chance to think about it before a couple days ahead of time.

Think about the cars or moving truck that you are going to take. For those of you who are moving your child half way across the country, this is especially important for you! If you forget something, that would not be a good thing! And scrambling for another vehicle and someone to drive it at the last minute is never fun.

Think of all of the furniture that you will need in your apartment or dorm. Most people forget to buy the little things like a coffee table or a futon. These things can be very useful when helping your child to feel like they're at home!

You want to make sure that your child has enough storage space. Thsoe dorm rooms can be miserably small and without enough room, they will just be crowded. Take some under-the-bed storage containers so that you can utilize all the space that you have!

Below are some of the things that helped when I was moving my daughter down to school and I would recommend not making the move without them!

Make Sure You Have Enough Storage!

It's amazing tha twe could forget something that is so common in our everyday lives, but we did. Trash cans is something that we forgot and really regretted forgetting! We were wiping everything down with the paper towels and pledge wipes that we had taken down with us, but when we went to throw out the used papertowels, we had no where to put them. We found ourselves walking all the way down the hallway in order to throw a paper towel away. Needless to say, we have now bought three trashcans: one for each bathroom and one large one for the kitchen. This is a must and you will quickly realize that if you forget it!
