10 suggestions for a smooth home move August 2022 for Jean-Luc Andriot blog 080922

Moving is a BIG step. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare:

- Pack with unpacking in mind. Bundle items from a single room in each box. Then, clearly label it with its destination in your new home. This will save you time (and footsteps) when you unpack.
