Moving is probably the most stressful time in anybody’s life. Give or take a few random people that may disagree with me, I would bet that most people would rather sell one of their kidneys than have to move across the country. With that being said, there are certain things that you can do to make the moving process more tolerable. That’s right – believe it or not, it does not actually have to be such a terrible time. Now I know that people may be skeptical about some random guy on the internet like me on the internet writing about moving, but I promise you that I know what I am talking about. So whether you are moving across the country, to a new apartment or home, or just a few blocks down the road from where you currently live, I am hoping that some of these moving tips can be useful for you in the current moment. If you get through with reading this article and still feel like I have not added anything of value to your moving situation, feel free to leave me a negative review and a hurtful comment if you are so inclined. Your criticism actually helps me to be a better person and a better writer. So without further ado, here is my weekly blog about moving tips and tricks for anybody and everybody.

The first moving tip that I would like to talk about in this weeks’ blog is about packing. Now packing is arguably the most important part about moving, and it can really add to the overall stress levels that you may experience from day to day. It is no joke that packing can seriously be time consuming, especially if you have a lot of stuff lying around that you are responsible for putting into cardboard boxes and other storage units. One tip that I have for anyone who is going to start packing soon is to make a packing list.

You may think that you are capable of remembering everything in your house and when you want to pack it up, but believe me when I say that some things will slip through the cracks. By making a list of things that you are going to pack you can actually feel a lot less stressed since you will not have as many things on your mind all the time. You can make a list that organizes everything you are going to pack, the order you are going to pack it in, and where you are going to pack it. For example, you could list off your dishes and silverware to be packed by next Friday in the cardboard boxes labeled appropriately. This is one way to just make everything a lot easier as you go about your life.

Another tip that I have for you about moving is that you should always create some sort of moving budget. Most people are surprised when they find out how expensive and time consuming moving is. One thing that makes moving way easier is having a simple but strict budget that you can stick to. By creating a budget, you can be sure how much things are going to cost and know in advance what you are going to be spending. No more surprises! 

Ever since I was a young whipper snapper running around my neighborhood streets in the early 2000s, I have had a huge affinity and passion for baking. I guess that you could say it all started with the way my mom loved to bake as well. Ever since I was little, I could always find my mom baking up something absolutely scrumptious in the kitchen. First, I only liked baking because I could always eat the yummy treats that came from all the hard work of baking. After a while, however, I began to appreciate baking simply because of the process of getting all the ingredients together, measuring out the ingredients carefully, and being able to create something really delicious. The best part about baking is no doubt the fact that you can spend a lot of time with other people that you love. For me, baking has always been a great way for me to spend time with my mother. Like I mentioned above, my mom has always been really into baking, and oftentimes I would find her in the kitchen making various cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, and other sweet treats. Sometimes she would bake things in the evenings after school, and other times she would bake things in the early mornings and afternoons on the weekends. Either way, one thing was for certain; there was always something in the oven at my house that I could simply not wait to eat.

One of my favorite parts about baking was going to the store to pick out the certain ingredients that we would need for that day. The best time to go to the grocery store was after school, usually because my mom would agree to buy me an after school snack like a donut from the grocery store bakery. The grocery store bakery in my hometown has the best donuts. Anyways, when I went to the grocery store with my mom after school, we would look for specific ingredients that my mom would need to bake our next sweet treat. One thing that I really enjoyed about going to the grocery store to pick out ingredients is that my mom would let me pick out the candy boxes and type of sugar that we would be using. Especially when making things like cookies, my mom would do me the honor of letting me choose which candy boxes would be used in creating the recipe. This gave me a lot of joy because it would make me feel like I was contributing a lot to the baking process, and there is honestly not a better feeling than that right there.

With all that being said, I no longer bake in my free time now that I am more grown up. I think it could be said that a lot of the reason for this is that I simply do not have the time or energy to bake on my own anymore. During the weekdays, I usually find myself very busy with work and taking care of things around the house and completing my daily responsibilities. In addition to this, I usually have things going most weekends and therefore do not have time to bake on the weekends either. Either way, I will always have a special place in my heart for baking with my mother.

Moving is a stressful time for just about everyone in the world. Unfortunately, moving is one of those annoying things that everyone will have to face eventually. Because of this, I have seen a lot of people have to go through that troubling time of moving all on their own and not having a lot of help available to them from outside resources or something like that. It is truly saddening to see people go through this sort of thing. Luckily, there are people like me who exist that are willing to go onto the internet and start writing dumb articles like these. I happen to have a lot of experience when it comes to moving, especially when it comes to moving far distances all by yourself. I can think back to numerous times where I have had to move across the country all on my own, without a single person around to help me. Well, I am still here today so you know that the advice I have to give is extremely valuable. Since I have so much experience about moving, I have decided to write this article to hopefully give you a little bit of help for your own moving process. Let me know if this article was helpful for you or not!

The first tip that I have for you involves packing. Now – it is safe to say that packing is probably the most strenuous, stressful, and important part of moving. Packing is the time where things can go very wrong or very smoothly, depending on how skilled and prepared you are. That being said, I do have a few tips for you regarding packing. The first tip I have is that you should not be paying for cardboard boxes or any other type of storage to pack your things in.

Instead, my suggestion is to go around to various stores: grocery stores, supermarkets, hardware stores, and other similar places. Sometimes these stores have a plethora of cardboard boxes sitting around in the back that they will have to dispose of anyways. If you show up at the right time, you might just find yourself some free moving gear that you do not have to pay for. After all, boxes are definitely the best thing that you can pack your stuff into. Just be extra careful with those fragile items and make sure to use lots of packing materials to keep all your stuff safe and sound during the shipping process.

Another tip that I have for you is to hire a moving company if you are moving by yourself. Now, you may think that you are man enough to handle all of the moving on your own, which may be true; however, it just makes way more sense to hire a moving company if you can afford it. Hiring a moving company will take a lot of the stress of loading, driving, and unloading off of you, and you can usually get some pretty good quotes from various moving companies depending on where you live. Another tip about moving companies is to take pictures of your fragile items before and after moving – that way you have evidence in the event that the moving employees break any of your fragile things! Hope this is helpful for you.

If you are interested in baking, then you definitely need to hear about some of these extremely useful baking tips. Since everything happened with the COVID19 pandemic in 2020, many people have decided to pick up baking as a hobby. However, it is true that baking is not always the easiest thing to do and can take a lot of practice depending on how skilled you are. From measuring ingredients, mixing, and cooking at the right temperature for the right amount of time, there can be a lot of factors that go into the process of baking and can determine the success or failure of your baked goods. That is why I have decided to start this blog that will teach you how to bake more and more like a pro each time you get crazy in the kitchen. For my first article, I have compiled a short list of tips and tricks about baking that should help you get in the mood to bake whatever it is you have up next. 

The first tip that I have for you about baking does not actually have to do that much with baking. I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I want to talk about the importance of recycling in the context of baking. As many of you know, us bakers go through a lot of ingredients in our day to day lives as we intricately craft our cakes, cookies, pies, and pastries to perfection. In addition to the ingredients, us bakers produce a lot more plastic and cardboard waste on a daily basis than most other people. That being said, I cannot stress to you enough the importance of being environmentally conscious about the things that you are using and throwing away. The best thing you can be doing is recycling, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! If you have candy boxes or something like that laying around after you have finished baking, don’t be afraid to recycle those things! Candy boxes are some of the biggest offenders when it comes to filling up landfills in the United States.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about another useful baking tip. This next one is going to sound a little bit obvious – however, it is usually ignored most of the time. My serious advice to you is to follow the recipe exactly as it reads, no matter what you are baking. Many bakers, ironically the novice bakers, seem to think that they simply know better than the recipe or can see through to a more tasty or better bake than what the recipe has to offer. However, I would like to inform you that most recipes are crafted very carefully by experienced bakers, tested multiple times, and edited down to an exact science before they are ever published. I can promise you that you do not have some omniscient baking knowledge or experience that puts you above any recipe you may come across. To summarize this tip, I guess my words to you would be to get over yourself and do what the recipe says.

I hope that this article was helpful to you and gave you some baking tips that you can take into your next bake. Have fun!

Here’s the thing about moving, my friend. At some point, no matter who you are or what you are doing with your life, you are probably going to find yourself moving from one place to another. Now for some people, moving is a lot more of a significant process than others. One reason that moving might not be as big of a deal for somebody is if they don’t have a lot of stuff that they need to move from their old house to their new one. In contrast, other people have so much stuff that they cannot even imagine trying to move it all to their new place. Those kinds of people are usually families with a lot of children or something like that. As we all know, having kids makes everything harder in itself. So it is pretty easy to imagine that trying to move with the addition of a couple children in your family will make things extra difficult. Anyways, whether you are flying solo during your move or have a larger family, it is no secret that moving can be an extremely tiring and stressful process. In fact, many studies have shown that moving is one of the single most stressful events that the average person goes through in their lifetime. Did I make this statistic up? Perhaps; however, if you are going to sit there and tell me that I’m wrong then you can just click off this article.

Anyways, if you are moving soon or are currently in the process of moving, then I have some tips and tricks that could be helpful for you. It makes me sad to see people be stressed out about moving because there are actually a lot of ways in which you can make the whole moving process go a lot smoother. If you are smart about how you’re doing it, and you don’t try to do anything super fancy or whatever, then you are going to make it through this whole moving thing just fine.

So I want to offer a few key pieces of advice that will hopefully help you transition into your new place a lot more easily and quickly. With my help, it is truly possible that you won’t even break a sweat during the moving process. One of the biggest things I can recommend to you is that before you start packing, make sure to find all of the cardboard boxes that you can in order to pack stuff in them. If you are paying for your cardboard boxes, then you’re doing it wrong. You can find people and various stores giving away these boxes for free if you are willing to look in the right places and maybe get your hands a little bit dirty. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that it is super important to have a moving budget. If you are like me, then budgets can kind of sound like a trigger word for you. Well, I am here to tell you that it is time to grow up and not be so scared of budgeting. If you budget properly, you’ll actually find that you can live in a lot more financial freedom than what you originally thought. By creating a moving budget, you can ensure that you are not spending too much money on random things.
