Don't forget to label, label, label!! And..the Bundle Approach is an ingenious method of packing, which we learned from Judith Guilford, co-founder of the Easy Going travel store and author of the "The Packing Book," has now become our favorite. It's a bit difficult to explain without a demonstration, but we'll do our best. You need luggage that opens up and lays flat to do this. You will also need a flat, soft, pouch-like rectangular "core" with dimensions that are at least 1/2 to 3/4 the size of your luggage compartment. This can be a pouch filled with underwear or something similar.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041237591135336594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581695595145931768.post-87020075497179017942010-08-11T20:58:20.259-05:002010-08-11T20:58:20.259-05:00Get rid of 1 thing for every 10 you pack - no clut...Get rid of 1 thing for every 10 you pack - no clutter goes! :)Thomas, Christina, and Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436474084136779548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581695595145931768.post-8171568852995564592010-08-11T17:34:34.796-05:002010-08-11T17:34:34.796-05:00Wow, I couldn't agree more with your mother-in...Wow, I couldn't agree more with your mother-in-law (IE MUMSKINS!)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538666423279020793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581695595145931768.post-74471603246216341002010-08-11T14:46:19.040-05:002010-08-11T14:46:19.040-05:00By the way, your new place is super cute and has s...By the way, your new place is super cute and has so much potential!

It doesn't have to be beautiful or perfect or anything - but it's SO MUCH MORE HELPFUL when you're trying to find that one thing that you really need!!<br />And... wrap knives really well! Our "packers" last time just threw all knives in with some other random kitchen stuff, and I sliced my finger on one. Not cool!!<br />So happy for y'all :)Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501676898711281239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581695595145931768.post-19918955380593814052010-08-10T20:12:26.752-05:002010-08-10T20:12:26.752-05:00I am a terrible packer.

D and I can't believe you are getting such a steal of a deal on it -- it actually has character and WOOD FLOORS!!! <br /><br />Also, we're praying for your move. Several times I have said to D that I wish we could go help y'all pack . . . I'm glad you can now have a place to visualize your stuff in--that's gotta help!!!<br /><br />Here's a packing tip I just learned: clean your sheets, fold them, bag them and zip them in the mattress so you can make the bed and sleep, even though your new house will be a maze of boxes. Make a car kit with all your NECESSITIES so you don't have to dig to find stuff like shampoo, toilet paper etc.<br /><br />Another packing tip: Eating out must be a necessity so don't fight it. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538666423279020793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581695595145931768.post-88273749381352393892010-08-10T13:36:47.294-05:002010-08-10T13:36:47.294-05:00Okay, I am seriously hankering for that book. : ) ...Okay, I am seriously hankering for that book. : ) Tips: 1. Boxes can be got at Wal-mart in the late hours (call ahead) and at liquor stores.<br />2. If you contact Parents and kids you can sometimes get extra stacks of their magazines which are nice for wrapping breakables. <br />3. Label, label, label!<br />These are kind of crummy. I should have better ones as often as we've moved!
