Tips from a marathon mover
If there's one thing that a military wife (which I am) knows, it's how to move. In 22 years of marriage my hat has been hung under 18 roofs. Invariably, each time we move I find there are some things you absolutely must have to keep the household running.
Before your next move, set aside these items (along with clothing and needed pillows, bedding & towels). Invariably, the movers will box and take away items you need to survive. Items for your in-transit moving kit include:
Manual can opener
Pot holder
Cookie sheet
Paper towel
Trash bags
Cleaners (glass, bathroom, etc.)
Laundry Detergent
