Moving... help!!?

Question

I live in a house by the beach in SC. We're moving a couple blocks away to my now dead mother's home. ( the house I grew up in) We're moving on Sat. with my three kids, Nick 4, Tyler, just turned 3, and Nigel born in May. Also with My sister Tricia who is 16 and expecting a baby in August... sad I know. Any moving tips? We don't know what the heck we're doing with Trish but I do know that for the time being her baby and her will stay with us. ( she's having a baby girl we think!!) So we're really excitted even though its so sad that she's having a baby that young. BACK TO MOVING: We're moving and i need help!! Please! I'm 30 years old and my husband is traveling a lot. So I need to know how to decorate the house etc. We're in the middle of the decorating and are going to finish by Sat. We will be completly moved out by monday when we're setling our other house. Thanks for all the help and input!!!

Really thanks

Y'know? You're going to be just fine. Your kids aren't old enough to insist on specific colours or themes, they'll be happy with anything cheap and cheerful. Your sister is pregnant - she may want to help as her nesting instinct will be kicking in soon and, at her age, she probably still likes to "play house". At least I did at that age - we moved when I was 16 and it was the first time I could pick out my own colours, draperies, linens etc. for my new room.

Kudos on helping her out, by the way! My best friend had her first baby at 17 and ended up marrying the father; they just celebrated their 25th wedding aniversary and have two beautiful children.

Now, it's going to be hectic - moving with kids always is - so make sure you have lots of help. I would see if you can get someone to watch the little ones during the move so that they're not underfoot. Label all your boxes VERY SPECIFICALLY - it will save time at the other end (I didn't find my can-opener for four days). And remember you certainly don't have to unpack in one day - or one week or one month, for that matter. Take your time and have plenty of soft drinks and snacks on hand (plus a bottle of wine for yourself at the end of the day, if you feel like it!). My husband travels more than he's home, so I know what that's like - I no longer consult with him on minor decorating decisions or purchases, as things need to get done promptly and he trusts my judgement. Not that I'd do the house in pink and orange, or anything, but new paint colours/flooring/draperies/furniture are all my choices and we like it that way.

Best of luck in your new home! I hope everything works out for you all.

My mom and I use to move all the time. We hired movers. You pack all your stuff and they do the rest. For decorating ideas go to hgtv.com or just watch the show. They are really good. Thats were i get all my decorating ideas. And sorry about your mom I know that is hard on you! Best of luck to you all!
