If you’ve ever been in a situation where you had to move, I’m sure you can agree that it can be both challenging and time-consuming. Having to organize, condense, and pack up what appears to be a lifetime of belongings can be quite over-whelming.
Even though our family has moved (almost) too many times to count, I still worry and have heart palpitations every time I think about packing up our home. Moving for me is like I’m planning two simultaneous moves: relocating to a new home and moving out of our current location. It’s quite a bit to handle.
As schools let out and the weather gets warmer, a change in seasons is obviously upon us. Along with the transition from spring to summer, this time of year signals the start of grilling season, of course, moving season.
