I'm moving to my new flat tomorrow, and this is maybe 2/3 of my belongings, ready to be piled into a large van.
Here are a few tips and tricks to make your moving endeavors a breeze!
PACKING
Heavy and Light: Think opposites are alike, heavy goes with light! Pack those heavier items into your smaller boxes and light items into your bigger boxes. No wasted weight!
Plates and Records: Don't make the mistake of #packing your precious plates and records flat and helpless. Instead, pack the on edge, vertically.
Most Important Amongst Shipping Supplies: Anything that is valuable, sentimental, or worthy enough to shed a tear if lost, stolen, or damaged, keep those bad boys right next to you in your vehicle. If they do happen to ride along with the other moving items, just make sure to put some extra cushion, like a blanket or sheets, in between.
No Screwed Bulbs: Prior to packing any lamps, make sure those bulbs are unscrewed and carefully packed separately.
Don't Let that Fridge Go Sour!: After thoroughly cleaning out and wiping down the refrigerated, keep the inside smelling nice and fresh by adding a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda, or charcoal into nylon stockings or socks. Place this deodorizer in the interior of the fridge for lasting freshness.
Protect your Plants: Take care of your plants during the move by keeping the foliage away from the windows, as this can scorch the leaves as they rest there.
TRACKING YOUR MOVE
Note Taking: Jot down your shipment registration number and keep it handy in the instance that you may need to call your mover over shipment inquiries.
Don't Toss that Phone Book: Keep your #phonebook as you may need to call residents and businesses from your former area of residents.
PREP THE FAMILY FOR THE BIG MOVE
Get the Kids Involved: In their rooms, the children can write the names and new address on cartons. This will familiarize them with their new street and city.
Relax the Pets: Have a trusted associate watch your pets during moving day. There's no need to have them around all of the hoopla.
MOVING DAY ADVICE
Let's have a great moving day by checking off these essentials!
Prepare the Bed: Place sheets and towels in a dresser draw to avoid frantically searching for them on your first night.
Give Your Number Out: Don't let the van foreman depart without giving your contact to him, along with an alternate phone number in case you are unable to be reached.
Basic Necessities: At your new home, you will most likely need a few basic items like toilet paper and other toiletries, telephone, snacks, coffee (and pot), soap, flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups, utensils, a few pans, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. Box these items together. Ask your foreman to pack the items last for easy locating and access of them upon arrival.
Give the Computer a Rest: Let your computer get used to the "climate" of your new home before plugging it in.
Take Delight: Let the professionals do what they do best and as you relax. #Moving is associated with new adventures and friends along the way. Get some good shut-eye before the pickup and delivery days!

It won't be long, these will be nothing but a pleasant memory of how they were about 25 or so pictures prior to this one.
A visualisation of 57000 series in the collection of the National Archives of Australia. The area of each square is proportional to the number of shelf metres that series occupies, while the size of the grey void in each square is related to the number of described items in the series. So a square with a large void (thin "walls") has relatively fewer items than one with a small void (thick "walls") - or no void at all. There's a minimum wall thickness of one unit, which is why the smallest squares have no voids. More on the blog, and an interactive version here.

My bags are packed and I'm off for some Labor Day goodness. Hopefully the next photo you see here will be totally spectacular. Or somethin' like that.
