Prepare ASAP: It might seem like moving to your new location is super far away but if you are needing to move in July, it’s in your best interest to start preparing for the long move a few months prior! The great thing about planning as far aahead as possible is that you have a higher chance of being ready for the big day. This also helps ease your anxiety and stress level because the more tasks you take on, you’ll be able to finish on time. It also gives you a chance to tackle some time consuming packing ideas for your move and also to find a moving company should you need one to assist. 

Be Intentional Abot When You Move: Moving in the summer does have it’s advantages, but it’s also one of the busiest times to relocate and can require careful scheduling on your part. While it might seem easier to move on a holiday weekend such as Mmeorial Day or the fourth of July but it might cost you more money and the chance of securing a good mover can be difficult. Avoid booking your move at the end or beginning of summer because that can also add to your cost savings. An ideal setting would be to move on a weekday in the middle of a month for the best deal. 

Set Realistic Goals When Packing: Summer is great to move for your kids but it can also be a hassle when all your kids want to do is play outside with friends, be involved in several activities and don’t leave you alone when you are trying to get everything packed up. If your kids are old enough, allow them to help with the move and go through items that they haven’t played with, worn or used in some time. Inventory the home and start packing things little by little from day one to help you prepare. Secure all the packing supplies that you’ll need such as boxes, bags and totes to make it easier to put things away.

Be Smart About Moving In The Heat: To stay safe when moving during the hottest season of the year, there are a few ways to beat the heat. Schedule an early start because you don’t want to be in the heat when the intensity of the sun is the strongest. Select a moving company or friends that are willing to accommodate either a very early move or late move. Make sure that you replenish any fluid in your body by drinking enough water or electrolytes to avoid dehydration. If you do have air conditioning in your home, turn it in to prevent you and your friends from overheating. Lastly, wear suitable clothes. No flip flops of course but have light weight items that are loose fitting, plus a hat or sunglasses to protect from the summer rays.
