Moving from one house to another can be extremely stressful. Lilly from Listotic (one of my go-to websites for learning tips & tricks for various things) has compiled a list of 33 moving tips to make it a little easier on you!
A few of my favorites include DIY box handles to help with lifting, using rolling luggage for heavy items, and taking a photo of your cords on the back of your television and other electronics so you can remember where they all go! There is even a diagram on how to pack the truck fast and efficiently!
