Pack Ahead, But Not Too Early
Start packing as early as possible to avoid last minute mayhem, but don’t go overboard. You don’t want to be eating off paper plates for two months. But do make sure to leave out the essentials, like the coffee maker, wine opener… and your sanity.

Declutter, Donate, Game On
Turn family game night into a decluttering escapade! Start a game of “Keep or Toss”, allowing the kids to decide which toys and clothes they would like to give to others. Making it fun avoids meltdowns, while teaching your little ones the joys of giving back.
The Move-Day Survival Kit
Be sure to pack an overnight suitcase for your kiddos. Toss in their favorite stuffed animals, toys, books, and even their trusty rubber chicken. Don’t forget to pack a change of clothes, toiletries and those oh-so-cozy pajamas.
Little Helpers with Big Ideas
Get your little movers involved in the packing process and unleash their inner artists. Allow them to pack their toys, bedding, and books. Have them label their own boxes and decorate them with drawings and stickers!
Adventure Awaits
Ignite the venturous spirit of your mini explorers by sharing the wonders of the new neighborhood. Talk about cool parks, exciting local events, and potential youth-sports team to join. Show them photos or videos of the new home and allow them to brainstorm ideas on how to decorate their new room!
Smooth Sailing
Hire a professional moving company in San Antonio to make moving with kids seamless. Take the time to research movers in your area, check if they are licensed and insured, find out their damage policy and services offered. Some moving companies can assist with packing and unpacking, obtaining moving supplies, and furniture assembly/disassembly. Let the pros do the heavy lifting while you keep your own little crew entertained.
