Moving with children presents unique challenges. However, it is possible to make move day fun as long as you have a plan going into the process. Here are key ways to make your first day in your new home an enjoyable one for the whole family.
Before the Move
Hire a Professional Moving Company
The first step to having a fun moving day is getting professional help. Don’t do it alone. Hire a professional moving company to make the entire process more convenient and less stressful.
Let the Kids Help with Packing
Children want to lend a helping hand in the whole moving process. Give them smaller tasks and reward them as they complete them. Make it fun so you really get them involved in the process.
Decorate the Boxes
Even kids who are too young to pack can help. Have them place the stickers on the boxes with the labels. After everything is packed up, allow them to decorate the boxes. Just be sure that the moving company can still see the label on where the box goes.
At the New Home
Camp In
Your kids will probably be tired after a long day of moving, and you probably won’t get very far in the unpacking process on that first night. Plan a family evening of indoor camping. This is a perfect way to get your family together and comfortable in your new home.
Dine Out
Moving is exhausting, and no one wants to cook dinner before the essential gets unpacked. Take the family out to eat together and relax before attempting to get organized in your new home.
Unpack and Decorate Together
Eventually, you will have to begin the unpacking process. Getting your kids involved can make the process far more enjoyable. Allow them to unpack and decorate their room to their liking, or work together on a decoration process to ensure they have fun getting their new room ready.
Moving doesn’t just have to be a stressful experience. Follow these steps and remember to have a bit of fun before the moving truck pulls up. It will make the move easier for everyone.
