Packing Pets and People

Cat with green eyes looking up from empty cardboard moving packing box
  • What: Packing with kids
  • When: Moving
  • Why: Don’t leave anything behind
  • Where: Our home

Packing an entire household is hard enough. The last time I moved, I had only my own stuff to handle. I lived in a one bedroom apartment, and had minimal furniture and not a lot of storage space, so stuff didn’t collect.

I was shocked to discover my nearly nine year old squished into one of our moving boxes. I guess he didn’t want to be forgotten.

Now, after thirteen years, three kids, and multiple pets, I have to get everything into boxes once again. It turns out that isn’t easy, especially when other things keep magically appearing in all the empty boxes.
