[quote=Anonymous]Pad the bottoms and tops of boxes of fragile stuff with sweatshirts, sweaters, t-shirts, bed linens, towels that you don't need before the move.  It makes unpacking kind of random, but it's easy to just put all that stuff away at once.

Also, make a plan and you can pack a few boxes every night after the kids are in bed.  Books are super easy.  Dishes/glassware take longer.  (raid recycling bins for old newspapers or buy a few issues of the Post - they make good wrapping for dishes/glassware.)

Use small-ish boxes for books and things like dishes/glassware.  I generally don't go bigger than about 12x12x18 for books boxes.  You can put clothes and linens in the tops to fill up the box without adding too much weight.

I move clothes by poking a hole in the bottom of a hefty garbage bag and putting a bunch of hangers - maybe 20 - through the hole.  Tie the bag at the bottom.  Then you can hang them in the truck or dump them into a big box.  (Later, you can use packing tape to seal the hole and use the garbage bag as normal.[/quote]
