Packing Pointers, Organization Options, Storage Strategies and Other Moving Tips

Hi! My name is Lynn. This blog is dedicated to people who are moving house -- research says this can be one of the most stressful things in life. To help, I have created a blog. I plan to include a range of posts looking at different aspects of moving such as packing, organisation and storage. My tips come in part from research into the best organisational strategies. I have also consulted several friends who have moved to hear about their experiences, and personally, I have moved several times as well so that will inform this blog too. I am a mum of three little girls. I have two terriers, who are my pride and joy. I also work for a marketing company, and I love go to restaurants and wine tastings with my husband. Thanks for reading!
