Moving sucks Some research says moving counts as one of the top 5 most stressful things you can do.  I believe it. I’d like tell you a story – a story of how I spent 3 years finding a great mover. First, some background.  I moved more than 15 times in my life.  Early on, I would move myself.   As I acquired more stuff and got a bit older, I hired movers.    Every single time I tried to find a mover online, I thought to myself, “wow, moving is the industry the internet forgot about.”   Why could I not search movers?  Why could I not read verified reviews? Why could I not see photos of movers, or get any info on them at all? When you search for other things online, reviews, prices, photos, and other great information guides you to an informed decision.   I wanted an Amazon, or Orbitz, or Tripadvisor, or Cars.com, or HomeFinder for moving.   Heck, I would have settled for a list of licensed movers in my area....

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. One of the major reasons that plastic remains a stalwart part of the storage industry is that new technology allows plastic to be greener while still maintaining the positive features that most people have come to enjoy. Here are some different ways that plastic can help you make an impact for your storage needs in your home or business: Kitchen Storage Most restaurants and commercial kitchens are fastidious about keeping their work areas clean. By switching to plastic, you can not only keep your perishables and dry goods safe from the elements, you can also ensure that the container that they are stored in will not degrade or decay. One company tested an olive oil for kitchen use over a two year period. After one and a half years of storage, the humidity fro...

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. It’s a tangible something for you to hold on to from a day you won’t ever remember. One that, quite honestly, I had to look up to be sure about. Because for me, it was the intangibles from that day I won’t eve...

1 Pay yourself first.The easiest way to save money rather than spending it is to make sure that that you  never get a chance to spend the money in the first place .  Arranging for a portion of each paycheck to be deposited directly into a savings account or a retirement account takes the stress and tedium out of the process of deciding how much money to save and how much to keep for yourself each month — basically, you save automatically and the money you keep each month is yours to spend as you please. Over time, depositing even a small portion of each paycheck into your savings can add up (especially when you take interest into account) so start as soon as you can for maximum benefit. To set up an automatic deposit, talk to the payroll staff at your job (or, if your employer uses one, your third-party payroll service). If you can provide account information for a savings account separate from your basic checking account, you should generally be able to set up a direct...
