[quote=Anonymous]I recently moved with a 6 month old, so it was a little different, but very challenging nonetheless.  Try and throw out as much as possible before you move.  Organize several home pickups from goodwill or salvation army.  Get as much packing as possible done at night when they are asleep.  Be diligent about writing what is in each box and labeling what room in the new house they should go to.  If you can get into your new house a few days before the move, I suggest moving most of your kitchen stuff yourself and going in early to set up your kitchen.   That way you can actually eat a meal pretty soon after you get there, and this will save on moving costs.  Also if you are looking to save on movers, move pieces of furniture like dining room and kitchen chairs, and art that isn't valuable yourself.  Movers will wrap up every chair and piece of art and this will take a long time, and will drive up costs.

Also it would be really helpful to have your kids stay with a relative for a day or two so you can get all settled in without them there.  Enlist relatives to help you unpack as much as possible.  Accept that you will be living with lots of boxes around it will be very stressful! [/quote]
