Movers always told us to stuff drawers with pillows or bath towels, etc so that the drawers wouldn’t open during the move. Clean sheets, blankets and pillows for your bed in your dresser drawers makes them right where you need them first thing.

I haven’t ever thought of the last things packed will likely be the first things you’ll need... but so TRUE! Great tip

I take photos as I go, then email them to myself. When packing a box, I take photos & make a list of the contents. A list goes inside the box, outside the box, & in my moving binder, with the box # on it. When taking apart electronics, I take photos of each step & email them to myself.

Ok....the ''Open First'' box is just genious. I love how simple that is and how helpful it can be. Great video as always 🤗

Plastic containers. Anything that wont break. AFTER. Re use for your yard waste

I've been watching a ton of videos and this is the first time I've heard about the open first box! Definitely doing it for each room! I am so so so so so grateful that I watched this and learn to do this for my next move in May. Thank you so much for this video XOXO

I did the master list thing but with a pad a paper on a clipboard.

Great video, just a little tip pack a suitcase for you and your husband with clothes, wash kit and things you will need when you get to your
new home 🏡❤️🇬🇧

Although labeling boxes for the different rooms such a great tip to identify what is in the boxes. Brilliant idea to have an essential bin!! That’s why I’m hear for all the best tips ever that make my life easier. Thanks Sophie!!

When packing tv, / computer take a photograph of the back, so you know how cables connect

Truly one of the best videos I have ever watched on "moving tips"!! You should make a link in your description box for easy access on this one. Anyone getting ready to move should watch and take notes. So looking forward to all your future videos! What an exciting time with a beautiful new home and a sweet baby on the way. God Bless❤

Great tips! Thank you. I almost spent $ on colored labels for different rooms but then I remembered I had different colored printing paper. Thanks to instant ink I spent $11.00 printing out all the necessary labels (over 500 )and then just taped them to all four faces of the boxes.

This was a great video that I am sure will help people who are moving. Just forwarded to my daughter-in-law who is getting ready to move very soon. Thank you for your very thought out video.🌸

Sometimes boxes from retail stores depends on delivery days - most places have their own compactors.

[bradleyfoster]

This video has really helpful. I am so happy that I came across your channel, subscribed it right away. Keep posting more.

Chick-fil-A french fry boxes are almost exactly the size of the ones labeled "small" at a moving store. You can get about half a dozen at a time, if you go just before 2pm, after the lunch rush but before they get around to tearing them down.

[cherjohn]

Great great tips Sophie, will be very helpful in the future for me. Stay blessed ❤️

[debkorn]

You had me at spreadsheet!! That is definitely something I would do. 🤓

[Eeeekamouse]

I really like the "Open First" label idea for each room's essentials. Don't want to have to open everything at once and make a mess, just to get the certain items you really need. This could also help you declutter even more at the new place!

[amberoleary]

♥️ I hope it's all going as well as it can! I'm excited for the three of you on your new part of life!
