So...we moved again for the fifth time in five years. Although it has it's stressful moments, I love the excitement of moving into a new place and having a fresh start. It's been especially nice to have a change of scenery since we've been a little stir crazy. And I've always wanted to live in San Francisco as a family before we settle into a permanent space. There's plenty to do since we are close to the beach and Golden Gate Park but I'll admit the one thing I do miss is having a sunny deck to work from. I'll be sharing more photos soon but here's one I took while sitting on the couch writing this (not staged, I promise).
As far as the moving process, I'd say it went pretty well. Given the extra time we had, we packed and purged things we weren't using a few weeks before the move date. We didn't hire movers or rent a moving truck. We literally made several trips in a van and SUV and had a couple of family members help us. We also unpacked and setup within a few days (from what I hear that's pretty impressive). Not having a ton of stuff helped but somehow it still felt like there was plenty to unpack and organize. I've summarized my process with a moving checklist that can be found on our new resources page. Check it out and let me know if it's helpful or if there's something you'd add.
Do you like moving to new spaces often or does it stress you out? Need help prepping for a move? My first and best tip is to purge first! If you want to chat more about prepping for a move, contact me here.
