14 Tips to Make Moving Day Easier
14 Tips to Make Moving Day Less PainfulCommonSenseLiving.com ? 2005 It's that time of year again for a lot of us. Here are some tips to make your moving day less painful, both mentally and physically.1. Lighten the load. Dispose of as much as possible before you start to pack. Donate to charity, have a yard sale or throw out.2.
Use the same size boxes. They will be easier to stack both while you are packing, and in the truck. No more spending time trying to figure out how to get all those different sized boxes stacked so they won't fall over. 3. Use smaller boxes.
Then you won't have big heavy boxes that will wear you out fast. You, and your moving team will be able to keep going without struggling. 4. Use a good quality tape and tape gun. The couple extra bucks will save you tons of frustration.
5. A couple of wardrobe boxes are always a good idea. They keep your clothes clean and ready to hang. Plus, you can throw boots, shoes, and purses in the bottom. 6.
Before wrapping your figures in newspaper, put them in a plastic shopping bag. It will keep them clean. A paper towel will work with smaller items. 7. Always write the room the box goes into on the outside of the box so your movers or helpers can deposit the boxes without you having to play traffic cop all day.
8. Write a description of what's in the box so you can find things easily. If you are using recycled boxes (always a good idea), tape a sheet ofpaper on the outside to make a nice clean readable label. 9. When packing clothes, sheets, towels and such, put a plastic garbage bag in the box first, then place the items in the plastic bag.
This works for pots and pans too. Then you won't have to rewash them when you unpack. Throw a fabric softener sheet into the bag of clothes and linens before you close it up to keep them smelling nice. 10. Pack the items you will need the first night in separate boxes and label them so you can get to these things right away without having to go through 20 boxes trying to find things when you're already exhausted.
11. Make sure the beds get set up, and other heavy items are in place. Other things can be moved around later. 12. Old fashioned as it may be ? let the guys worry about the furniture.
Take the girls and let them help you get the cabinets and drawers washed out and your kitchen set up. Then, once the truck is empty - everyone can easily sit down, relax, and have some pizza and beer and conversation. 13. If you packed well, the clothes can go right in the drawers. The sheets and towels can go right into the linen closet.
Hanging clothes can go right into the closets. Depending on how ambitious you are, the entertainment center can be set up and books put in bookcases.14. Take a break - the rest can wait for a little while??Rome wasn't built in a day.

Women's Liberation
(ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 -- Women continue to make steady progress towards equality in the workplace. Now women are making progress towards equality on the home front. How? By tapping into their resources, including their husbands. Increasingly, men and women are both juggling the demands of a career and a family. The demands are not equal, however.
Traditionally, women have been the primary caregivers. Still so today. Relinquish that role? Never. We have the natural instincts. But share that role? Now, that makes some sense.The challenge? Let's face it: Most men are not very domestic.
Organize the power tools? Mow the lawn? Great. But change the baby, that's a different story altogether. Not that men don't want to be helpful. They do (really). They just don't always know (or understand) what to do, especially concerning babies, particularly infants.Here's my secret: Help him liberate you.
Impossible? Absolutely not. Give him the tools to be helpful, starting...

Now the two are business partners but theyve never actually met in person. Despite the distance, the two have created a successful line of high-quality handcrafted chainmaille jewelry and purses using the internet.Dale relocated to Union, Kentucky after her husband was forced to transfer from his job at a plant in Illinois, where she had lived her whole life.
