No matter what type of move or where, the task can be taxing, especially if you have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years. To make life easier, why not pick up a copy of A Happy Move: Everything You Need to Know Before and After the Boxes Are Packed by Devra Jacobs and Brit Elders and learn from the experiences of the authors on the methods and practices to use for a successful move. This guide will help you to navigate and organize the best way to move with minimal stress. There are tips for every type of move, from the military to abroad. Depending upon the situation or circumstances, from downsizing, job relocation, or moving an aging parent into the home, everything must be carefully planned and each step taken into consideration for optimal results. The authors put your mind at ease with this resource that takes you from thinking about the steps to take before you move, how to best prepare for the move, how to navigate during the move, and things to consider after the move. As an added feature after each chapter, there are tips from Devra, a checklist, and space to keep your moving notes for safekeeping. Having these resources all in one place is essential and beneficial for your move.
I found A Happy Move by Devra Jacobs and Brit Elders such an extensive resource that I wished I had a copy with me during my 10-15 moves over the years. I even saw some glimpses of things while reading this guide that will be instrumental for me soon when preparing for those long extended trips abroad. Prepping and planning for short trips or snowbirding for a few months requires some of the same types of processes. At the end of the day, a move is a move, whether it is for a short or long-term need. To help take some of the guesswork out of your moving experience, there is a plethora of resources in this guide to help you, from Landlord and Tenant Laws, how to check out your potential neighborhood, and moving pets to so much more. As an experienced mover, I highly recommend this book to help make the journey easier in your next move.
