Moving Forward

                                                        Intro Summer is the most popular time to move, it’s also the hottest time to move. Depending on where you’re moving from/to, it’s likely to be hot - hot and humid, hot and dry, just plain hot. Moving is labor intensive, it’s easy to overexert yourself, forget to eat or drink water (especially when you just want to get the work done!) Don’t get yourself in a situation where you have to drop everything you’re doing to go to the store and get water/food (or worse … have to stop everything to go to the ER for heat stroke). Take care of yourself this summer! Use these tips to stay cool, hydrated and happy during your move *and to take care of your movers to...

It doesn’t have to be packing frenzie, with the right game plan, you may actually enjoy it.  I repeat, this does not have to be overwhelming, as long as you create a plan Mark Your Calendar The day you find out when you’re moving, mark it on a physical calendar (or digital if that’s your thing). This will help you visualize how much time you have. When you set a date, urgency becomes real.

Moving Forward SF Welcome to Moving Forward SF Your trusted moving partner in San Francisco Moving is chaotic for people--that’s why there are so many blogs about moving to help us out--but if things can get this overwhelming for people, can you imagine what moving is like for your dog? Not only does he have zero verbal confirmation of what is going on around him, but he also has no control or say over the situation. So how do we make this easy for our four-legged best friends?

House and garden plants enliven a living space and have a way of transforming a house into a home. Here in Palo Alto, we’re lucky to live in a climate that is absolute paradise for most plants, so your own home probably feels like an oasis with all the greenery! But if you’re planning to relocate, moving all those plants might seem intimidating. It is true that moving plants can be a bit of a hassle if you’ve never done it before. In fact many moving companies will not move your plants at all, and all moving companies refuse to take liability for damaged plants (yes, that includes our Palo Alto movers here at Moving Forward).This is because plants are so sensitive and they don’t do well in the heat of a moving truck. If you have a large collection of houseplants, you probably want to take them with you (they’re your babies!). You’ve put a lot of time and energy toward your plants, and it would be a waste if you had to throw them all the away. Before you start packing up those plants, ...
