Sometimes when we move house, we’re a little sad to see the old one go. Sometimes there are kids in the household who are moving for the first time and aren’t dealing well with being ‘uprooted’. While these emotions are completely acceptable and very common, we all need to be able to move on.
It doesn’t matter if you’re moving across the country or across the street — it takes a lot of time and energy to pack up. Moving to a new home doesn’t have to disrupt your life. Here are a few simple steps to make your move (almost) fun!

Moving is a long and arduous process. You spend weeks, sometimes months, planning and obsessing over the minutest details of your move so that there are no surprises (or shocks!) on moving day. However, the process does not end there. Once you move into your new house, you have to again spend at least a few days unpacking and organizing your stuff before it finally starts feeling like “home”!

If you are moving house with a Grand Piano or Baby Grand Piano, it is almost certainly your most treasured piece of furniture. Owners of these pianos are either passionate pianists or have inherited a beautiful family heirloom. You cannot afford to make an error in your plan to move this substantial piece of furniture.
When I was growing up we had a very tall cactus, named Fred Prick. He was about 6 feet tall, with a smooth, green body and sharp needles. During the decades he lived with us I believe he flowered a single beautiful blossom, at least once. More than anything else about Fred Prick, I recall my Mother’s anxiety over his well-being, particularly when it came to his positioning in the house (he pretty much stayed in one place for as long as I remember), or his re-potting.
