Moving everything on your own - the DIY way
We might consider saving costs by moving things from one place to another on our own instead of hiring professionals. If you intend to do so, consider these few things before you start!
1. Take account
Consider the amount of things that will be loaded into your car/rented vehicle so everything will fit. Set aside the costs involved for vehicle rental, fuel, and packing materials.
2. Plan a schedule
You can move at your own target, but be on schedule so as not to reach your new home only when the sun sets.
3. Get ahead of yourself
You can procrastinate especially the packing bit but if you start early, you will have a lot more time to fix any issues that could potentially arise.
4. Be careful
Always seek help whenever necessary and do not over-exert yourself. Also remember to have all the insurance ready to safeguard your items and your own self.
You can always do things your way but never over-estimate your own capabilities. It never hurt for professionals to come and lend a helping hand.

Moving House Including The Toddlers Can Be A Handful
Moving House Including The Toddlers Can Be A Handful
It is already chaotic enough with your partner having to keep up with deadlines like utilities setup up to the actual move itself. Now you have toddlers in tow, what should you do?
1. Create a timely schedule - Once the move date is set, work backwards to gauge the time needed to execute the pre-activities like de-cluttering and loading into storage. Remember to add in an allowance in case an emergency crops up with the toddlers.
2. Seek help to babysit - See if anyone can spare a few hours to allow you to be toddler-free so you can be more productive.
3. Storage facility with premium services - When you get more than just a few services from them like mover/facility/packing/loading, chances are you will get a discounted price. Stretch your dollar wherever possible.
4. Sorting it smart - Consider only those that can be reused like toys and books. Be equipped with mobile storage boxes to assist you with this process.
5. Get help from loved ones - Keep the toddlers under the watchful eyes of friends or family members while you finalize everything or until a few days after the move.
