after moving every couple of years in my childhood, I would really suggest using some of your stash as filler in boxes. this will help save money. and get those totes that you can see through. And make sure that they are the last thing on the truck with your machine and cleaning supplies And kitchen pans plates and glasses and silverware. Also Make sure that you label all your boxes with the items in the boxes and what room they are to go into in BIG letters. If you don't want to take your stash, I know a ton of women on here who would be willing to take it off of your hands for shipping costs. hehe. Me being one of them. hehe just had to add that in.
