What should I keep on hand on moving day?

What to Keep Handy on Moving Day

Have a floor plan of your new home available in case you need to make any last-minute adjustments to your program for where things should go.

Make a packing list as things are loaded into the truck -- this is a good chore for an older child -- and refer to it to make sure everything arrives at the new place.

Set aside a container for your "moving day survival kit." This should include house keys, prescription drugs, address books, checkbooks, basic bathroom supplies, box cutters, a few trash bags, a tape measure, and a change of clothing for each person.
