Seeing their things get packed away in boxes might be the hardest part for younger children, and they need a way to stay entertained until the last possible day. Therefore, it would be a good idea to pack their things last and save a small box or bag for special toys that need to ride in the car with you. Hunting through boxes to find one essential item can be maddening so save yourself some future stress by taking the time to add detailed labels to boxes as you pack. Kids that can write or draw can even help with this. Label the box with the room and child’s name, and write down what the box contains. Make good use of babysitters, friends and family that offer to help, and third party packing and moving resources to help make this process easier. Stress that the adults experience is picked up on by children who then worry needlessly about things they can’t control. Have a plan and a backup plan for everything.

Even if the siding is in good shape, make sure it’s a neutral color. Personally, I love purple houses, but I’m in a small minority. the same holds true for other more creative shades. Fill bare ground with ground cover or lawn. Add some shrubs and flowers to the front. Shutters and an accent door add a lot of personality, without being offensive, to the house. 2.  Clean the i...
