    How To Pack Your Kitchen

     [March 16, 2008, 12:46pm]
    A kitchen is often one of the most difficult areas of the home to pack. This is not because it is difficult to pack the kitchen pots and pans and appliances but because you may need to use them right after you have finished packing them. It is a good idea to begin packing those kitchen utensils and appliances that you use the least. Once that is done and you are closer to moving day, pack most of your crockery, cutlery and cooking ware. Leave out the plates, glasses and cooking ware that you need on a daily basis.

    Travelling With Kids - Too Much Dvd?

     [July 9, 2008, 2:03pm]
    A long car trip with kids can be miserable so like many people, I bring along the item that allows us to arrive at our destination with our sanity intact. This, of course, is the miraculous portable DVD player. How did our parents do without such a device when we were kids? Quite well. In the era before car seats, we played on the huge back bench of our full size Chrysler New Yorker. We had ALL of our toys with us for hours of uninterrupted play. Most of the time the question \"Are we there yet?\" just didn\'t matter.

    Moving Your Home

     [July 31, 2008, 10:03am]
    Write everything down! You'll thank yourself later. Before you pack even one box, create a simple record keeping system. Create a computer-printed list of numbers with a space to write the contents. Or have a spiral-bound notebook for the job. You'll place a number on EVERY box you pack and list the contents on your list. Don't put the list down unless it's in a place you'll call Packing Central. This is where you'll find your labels, marking pens, box tape, and other supplies. When describing the box contents, be specific -- "A-D files" is better than "files", and "Tulip dishes" rather than "misc. kitchen".
