Handy Tips After Moving In:


  1. Organizing Your Home After a Move
  2. Wow the NeighborsCome by with a gift basket, throw a dinner party, or just drop by to say hi – whatever your style, there’s nothing more important when moving homes than getting the neighbors on your side. One of the things that makes you feel truly comfortable in your new home is how comfortable you feel with the people in your neighborhood.
  1. Locate Your Nearest Coffee ShopIn fact, this should probably be number 1 on the list, pre-neighborly preparation. This is the 21st century, and no potentially awkward social situation should go decaffeinated!
  1. Find a Local Cleaner You Can TrustYou’re in, you’re unpacked, the neighbors are coming around – now you need to make the place spotless! While finding a really good local cleaner used to be a challenge, now Handy fixes this all for you in under 60 seconds! Book online or on the app for a fully vetted cleaner to come as soon as you need.
  1. Do Your IKEA RunLike it or not, no move in is complete without that all too painful trip to IKEA. Take a deep breath, plan the trip and kit yourself out with the essentials. *And don’t forget to give Handy a shout if you need a Handyman to help you assemble your brand new furniture.
  1. Order Delivery!And….. relax! Moving is exhausting work, so give yourself a break from cooking for your first night home at home. Forget that mountain of flyers and leaflets on the doormat though – just go online to find the best food in your area.

Pick a Destination Before you can even begin the moving process, you have to know where you are moving to! Explore the area you wish to move and house hunt online and in person. Once you have found the perfect place, you can then begin to plan out your move. Confirm Your Move Date Once you have put an offer in on your new home, sold your current home, and have been given a timeline for closing dates, plan your move date accordingly. It is common to move 1-3 days before closing. Book a Mover Moving across the country or across the world on your own is a daunting task. Although it will save you money to move yourself, it will cause a great deal of added stress to the moving process. Not only is there a risk of damaging your most precious items, but you could even hurt yourself.  Search for professional movers  and get an in-home estimate to determine costs, and to learn more about the move process.

The 'future is plastics' is a famous line from a movie that was created in the 1960's. This is true for many business people and consumers who are putting more plastic into their lives than ever before.

Today marks a decade that I’ve been a mom. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it — to come up with the just-right thing to say about the journey to this milestone momiversary . But it turns out the complex truth isn’t just in my head or heart. It’s singing in a silly voice at the breakfast table as we all beg for peace and quiet. It’s stealing second base as the crowd cheers in the stands. It’s analyzing social injustices in novels, as well as on the playground, trying to be a light when things get dark. The complex truth is Big. And I’m so grateful to have had known him, loved him, and learned from him for 10 whole years. So, of course, I wrote him a birthday letter… Dear Big, Every year on your birthday eve, you ask me what time you *actually* turn your new age.

Because for me, it was the intangibles from that day I won’t eve...
