Still Racking Your Brain?

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. And considering all she’s done for you, you probably want to do something special to let her know just how much she means to you. Some moms like flowers, or may have a specific gift in mind. But for many mothers, the perfect gift is a the gift of your time and service - especially if moving is in her future. If you’re still racking your brain over the perfect Mother’s Day gift, check out these 5 moving & organization helps to do with Mom. After all, what’s a better gift than time together?

Wardrobe Overhaul
Let’s be honest; most of us tend to collect far more clothing, shoes and accessories than we actually use. That’s why one great way to help anyone prepare for a move - or simply become more organized - is to help them give their wardrobe an overhaul. Why not make a special event out of it, complete with a little hallway runway modeling, as you help her make those crucial decisions? Deciding what to keep and what to purge is always a lot easier with a little moral support.

Scanning & Digitizing Photos
One of the saddest victims of a poorly planned move can be those cherished moments captured on film. Loose or poorly stored photos can easily become lost or damaged. Fortunately, scanning and digitizing photos is a fairly standard operation today. It just requires a bit of time and knowledge. Imagine how much that time will mean to Mom, reminiscing over each special memory as you work to convert and protect them!

Paper Patrol
It can be very easy to become overwhelmed by paper. From bills and tax returns to receipts, coupons and junk mail, it just keeps piling up. Could your Mother benefit from assistance in getting out from beneath the crush of a paper avalanche? It may also be a great opportunity to help sort through and organize important documents, particularly key to locate in the case of a serious emergency. Start with a clear plan for organizational systems. Whatever you do, don’t skimp on file folders, clear labels, and appropriately sized containers and furniture to help Mom maintain her newly organized paper control center.

May is National Moving Month

How Are You Celebrating?
May is National Moving Month. How are you celebrating?! If your answer is, “By NOT moving...”, we hear you! Moving can be painful and challenging. But for most of us, moving is unavoidable at certain times of our life. Here at True Friends Moving Company, we’ve made it our business to make your move virtually pain-free! In honor of National Moving Month, here's a list of 5 helpful tips for your next move. Check it out!

5 Tips for Your Next Move

1) Start Early
Think a year in advance is too soon to begin planning and preparing for your move? Better think again. Proper preparation is one of the primary components of a successful move.
2) Declutter
It’s amazing how much useless clutter can build up in our lives. Without ample time to deal with decluttering, most people end up making the last minute decision to move existing clutter to their new home or office. Not exactly the fresh start you were looking forward to, is it?
3) Ample Assistance
It’s vital to have plenty of dependable, experienced help committed to help you move. Unfortunately, last minute things sometimes come up. This can really “leave you in the lurch” when it comes to your plan for a stress-free, well-organized move. That’s one of many advantages to enlisting the reliable assistance of a professional moving company like True Friends Moving.
4) K.I.S.S.
In this case, K.I.S.S. stands for “Keep It Straight & Simple”. The best way to do this? Have a clear pre-move strategy. Here are a few crucial tips:
  • Label EVERYTHING clearly including room & contents
  • Group boxes together as you pack by rooms
  • Ensure your pathway to the door and moving truck are free of obstructions
  • Place heavier items closest to the door
  • Load heaviest items first, keeping rooms together as much as possible
5) Tax Deductible?
If you’re moving for employment reasons, there is a good chance that your move and related expenses may be tax deductible. Want to find out for sure? Check out topic 455: Moving Expenses, covered in the Tax Topics fact sheet from the U.S. IRS found here: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc455.html. And whatever you do, be sure to carefully track all moving expenses, and keep your receipts!
