I have moved many times and have a few suggestions. - lamps shades can be put in box as if it was on a lamp. Then fill in spots with some of your smaller breakable items. - use things like dish cloths, linen, even clothing as "bubble wrap". You have to pack those too so use them. Clothing can wrap items from bedrooms; dish towels for kitchen items; linen for living room and bath towels for bathroom stuff. - use any storage containers not in use to hold small items even if just kitchen stuff. Then pack into boxes - saw so much extra room in your boxes that could have held cords, extra toilet paper, napkins, etc. - for your lamps you could have put soft pillows in the he box on top/bottom/sides then put in lamps. - extra shoes can be used for holding socks, hosery, jewelry, small breakable item, etc. Hope this helps for future moves.
spot on!! all of those storage containers could have been filled up then put in the box. It makes the unpacking process a little less seamless but I would prefer that over leaving stuff behind. Another suggestion would have been to rent a small storage unit for stuff that wouldnt fit and when ready to move rent out a small uhaul to attach to your suv to put those items that wouldnt fit. Your stuff is so pretty I cant imagine the thought of leaving all that stuff behind.
@@Danycrumble Stuff is way to expensive to just leave. Surely there was some notice before the move. At least try to sell what you don't want. Unless of course the new owners want/need the furniture.
My moving tips. Use out of season clothing, extra linens, towels etc in place of bubble wrap. Get boxes that are as close to the same size as possible.
When we moved we used our own clothes, sheets, towels, curtains to pack fragile items. It worked perfectly. You are doing a great job. Its not easy to pack a whole house. You will be amazed how much stuff you collect throughout the years. Can't wait to see your new house 🏡
This reminds me of where I was this time last year! Moving is no joke! From Oklahoma to Ohio. I don't care if I ever see another roll of Bubble wrap again-ha!
Get ready for the intense heat and humidity, bad hair days and daily severe thunderstorms!! But gorgeous winters, beautiful sunsets and no more winter coats!!! Welcome to Florida!
Awe! We can literally see the sadness! 😭❤️ But you held it together! Onto all the things! We are crying with you! Now I want to go to the goodwill by your house so bad! Lol! I'm sorry you had so many struggles. BUT! Florida!!! ❤️
I know this was from 5 months ago but I’m in the middle of packing up our 16ft pod, and I have a 6 month old, for our cross country move. And this was so helpful to see an honest crazy packing video. Lol. I can’t wait for this part to be over. It’s so stressful. Thanks again 💛
I’ve always used a moving company and it has been worth every penny, time and stress. They come pack you and pick up and unpack you. I would rather pay movers than go on a vacation. Lol moving is the most stressful thing. Props to you for doing it.
They say colors have different affects on our moods based on who we are. Like blue for example makes some people feel relaxed and calm and others it makes them sad. I feel like you used a big amount of blue in this house and that reminds me of the gloomy winter sky! 💙 My goal is to move to a place where it’s warm year around. Maybe use brighter, happier colors in your next home! 🧡💛💚
I love your positivity and realness. I just did a move in June and it was madness. I lost my cool several times! Props to you for holding it together and pushing through!
I started watching you during lockdown in 2020 and your videos and home have felt like a safe place ever since. During a time where home became even more important you inspired me to keep it very clean,organized, and to make it my own. It’s funny that I’m feeling a little nostalgic watching you move, but I am seriously so excited for you!!!! I cannot wait to watch your videos in your new home!!!!!!!!
Great job girl, our minds work the same way in so many ways & your last video with the labels & categories is so peaceful in such a time of chaos. I love the way you did everything & the new owners are so lucky to have so many of your beautiful things & I cannot wait to see what's next! Hello neighbor 💙 enjoy Florida! See you soon!
Wow! Such a great video series of your packing! Will you miss the things you weren’t able to bring, like your beautiful desk?? Hope all is going well for you all! Can’t wait for the empty house clean with me!
Hey RUclips bestie😊! Omg , with many of the things staying, donated, we ware really starting over, it feels weird but, ..YAY definitely ready for decorating videos🙂...that cardboard play house(AMAZON)love it....had alot different ones for bro sis, niece, & nephews hours of fun!!
You’re a freakin super mom! I don’t know how you do it but it’s so inspiring. I can see the stress and sadness in your eyes and I just want to hug you and let you know you’re doing amazing! Bittersweet to see this house go but I think this next endeavor in Florida will be so worth it. Love 💕
How many boxes did you end up using ? Seeing these videos motivates me to clean and start purging for the day we move in a year or two. I have hoarded so much stuff
I love these videos and am so excited for you guys. I’ll be doing this in the next 6 months and already started purging/donating and making a list of keep/pack/donate/give to family. 💕
Good job packing it is rough .I can not wait to see the clean with me .I wait daily for the new videos. Drive safe and have fun when you arrive to florida go see the lions and tigers so you can let forrest run around and play so he will be tired out for the ride I always took the afternoons off on long car rides with the kids so they can run and play after lunch and than get dinner get back in the car for the final destination it helps a lot. Drive safe can not wait O and video some of your car ride like fmily fun and clean out the car LOL
I finally get to leave a comment, lol! Normally I’m watching you on my tv screen while I’m cleaning. Moving is such a crazy stressful time, but you guys are doing great! I can’t wait to see the new place!
I don’t envy you. It’s been three years since we moved and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I thought we would be here forever. But we really need a little bigger house with some storage. Even my husband agrees. When the grandkids come here it’s just crazy. And they were all here a little over a week ago. When it’s just us and the dogs it’s okay. But put one person or kid in here and it gets a lot smaller. We need somewhere for the kids to hang out. We lived in our old house 27 years. We had to start with cleaning out the attic. Actually my husband did that. He got things down and I went through all of it. Most of it belonged to our daughters. We had nowhere to go for over a year when we moved. All of our stuff was in a storage unit. Even after we moved it was for a few years. That gets expensive. So we bought a big shed. And that is our storage. And I don’t even go in there. We moved with boxes, totes and whatever else we could find. We could barely walk in this little place when we got all our stuff in. But if we move from here it will be local. And we can take a little at a time. We moved from Ohio to Georgia with three dogs. And then we stayed with my daughter, son in law, and five kids. It was a tight fit. But it was fun for a while. Then we stayed at a motel for months after that. My husband said he will never be homeless again. So we won’t be moving until we find a place we both love. And we will make sure it’s ready before we leave this house.
Wow it's going very well, I love these videos ! Is the bag behind you around 12:30 was actually trash or it was other stuff ? Ahaha cause if it's trash, it looks like you've tossed some old clothes in it prior to filming and I struggle so much to discard any clothes that can't be donated that I highly wished you could film. I guess it's too late now, but I hope you'll keep it it mind even if it's 1 or 2 pieces at the time and not a full declutter it would give me some motivation as no ones film that 😅
I couldn’t believe how much plastic packaging you still use to move in the US… In Japan, I have never used those plastic bubble sheets even 2 decades ago, but the moving company gives you boxes filled with special sponges which you can just slide breakable things like plates or photo frames in between the sponges. It’s free and you return when you finish putting them away in your new place. They also have boxes for clothes on hungers. It’s like a closet but made by cardboard and they reuse. Wrapping materials for big furniture like refrigerator or piano are still reusable. Cardboard boxes were also for free and rent. You basically never through away anything but return and reuse. Omg why we don’t export the whole systems and materials!
This is wear the towels sheets and blankets you packed would have been handy...even the pillows... for under the lamps... ive put light bulbs in socks...
I've watched all the old/new house vids with all the sorting, decluttering, donations, trash and you more than likely being exhausted. I really do hope you have some time to relax and rest. 💗💖
Hi Alexandra i just so absolutely love all of your beautiful cleaning videos that you did you are such the most beautiful gorgeous woman cleaner ever in the whole wide world i love you Alexandra.
How do you deal with being forced to leave stuff you didn’t intend to leave because of space? I feel like I would be so upset and wasteful. Maybe a blessing in disguise?
You did a Wonderful organized Job . I moved from a condo to a House was not as much stuff . We had to buy all New Furniture and I gave away or sold the old . Looking forward to your new House Videos . You got this ! I Have Friends and Family In Florida they love it . Just expect Lizards 🦎 in your House lol My Friends Biggest complaint he he
Hello Alexandra, you made me tired just watching you . You all should have got a UHAUL trailer to hook behind your SUV so you could get your desk and other things you left behind. My love and prayers are with you all, I hope you enjoy living in Florida, it’s a big adjustment, I used to live there. Nice place to visit for awhile but there is no place like home. Best wishes 🥰♥️
The bad thing about free boxes is…… if the people had those little roaches they could still be in the boxes or silverfish. I think you were smart for buying your own new boxes. 🤷♀️
But now you get to put in that extra shelf for purses or the extra area for shoes new means new beginnings and design Girl design your new closet on your ride down to florida can not wait to see all your new home designs your house is the most femine in the world your just what the world needs a LADY

I remember discovering your channel while trying to organize my pantry and thinking you have SUCH a BEAUTIFUL house!!!!!
Awe thank you!!!
When we moved we used our own clothes, sheets, towels, curtains to pack fragile items. It worked perfectly.
You are doing a great job. Its not easy to pack a whole house. You will be amazed how much stuff you collect throughout the years.
Can't wait to see your new house 🏡
Came here to say this. Such a waste to throw all your pillows, blankets, and towels into a box all alone. They make great cushion for fragile items!
I came to say the same thing…
We moved last year with two kids and oh boy, packing with kids is insane 😵💫. Can’t wait to see the new house!!!
This reminds me of where I was this time last year! Moving is no joke! From Oklahoma to Ohio. I don't care if I ever see another roll of Bubble wrap again-ha!
Get ready for the intense heat and humidity, bad hair days and daily severe thunderstorms!! But gorgeous winters, beautiful sunsets and no more winter coats!!! Welcome to Florida!
Moving is listed as one of the top ten of life’s most stressful events. Glad you made it through the first half!
Awe! We can literally see the sadness! 😭❤️ But you held it together! Onto all the things! We are crying with you! Now I want to go to the goodwill by your house so bad! Lol! I'm sorry you had so many struggles. BUT! Florida!!! ❤️
Who else gets excited to see a notification? Of course she super pretty but #1 Super consistent. Thanks and keep up the good work❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!! 💖💖💖
And she has the best personality. Not too boring, not too over the top. Just being herself like your best friend.

Packing up a "House" is the worst!
Once you're finished, it feels so good!
Excited to see your new home..🙂❤
congrats on your THIRD house! I've been following you since the early days in The City-love, love, love you taking us all on this crazy adventure!
Thank you so so much!! 💖💖
Congrats can’t wait to see how you decorate the new house 🏡 where is your white desk from? 21:15

You are such a pro! It's great when the two of your are doing this together and keeping Forest entertained. Good luck with the move and keep safe!❤
Your house is so beautiful! I know you probably hate to leave it but I’m sure your new home will be very nice too! Good job! God bless! 😊

Enjoyed part 2 and the survival mode that happens at the end of packing/moving! 🤣
AHHHH!!!🤯 THIS IS TOO FAST GIRL! IM GONNA MISS THIS HOUSE! 😘😘😍
Question where did you buy your bedroom furniture, specifically your nightstand? Love it and perfect color.
Hi! Those are from Ballard designs 💖
So exciting! Can’t wait to see the next steps. Do you remember where you got the shower curtain in the basement bathroom?
Hi! From home goods 💖
your continued motivation throughout the moving process is amazing! you're super woman!
You are doing a great job!!
You have so much energy! Can you believe all the stuff that you can collect in such a short time! Get as much rest as you can!
What about your mirrors in the dining? Love those! And your full length in bedroom? Too breakable?
So excited for you!
Thank you!!😊😊
Congrats on the move! So exciting ♥️♥️
Yayyy part 2!
Where did you get forests table and chairs?
Yeah a new video 🥳
In your opinion, do you think the totes would be just as good as the boxes? I plan to move soon as well and you make it look so easy!
