Tips to Make Your Home Move-In Ready

Uncategorized


Thank you to Walmart and Acorn Influence for sponsoring todays post with tips to make your home move-in ready! #CleanHomeSavings

Tips to Make Your Home Move-In Ready

Hello friends!

As you may know, we recently moved into our first home this past winter. I’ve actually moved a number of times in my life and I can tell you that it is not my favorite thing. In fact, I think several times during our recent move I just fell to the floor and cried. Not an exaggeration – moving is stressful! Whatever I can do to make it easier, I do. This includes putting together a must-have list for making the house move-in ready! We had to do this for the house we moved out of, and the house we moved into.

It’s always nice to start with a clean slate in your new home, and get your deposit back on your old one. And, because we’re friends I created a really fun printable shopping list to help make your next move easier! This has everything you need to get started on the right foot in your new home!

Tips to Make Your Home Move-In Ready

Cute, right? Just print out this handy checklist and take it to Walmart while you’re shopping so you can easily check off everything you’ll need to get ready to move!

Tips to Make Your Home Move-In Ready

First, I included Bounty Select-A-Size Paper Towel because it is just so convenient! You can choose exactly how much (or how little) you need and select your size accordingly. They are super absorbent so you end up using less, and they’re great to have on hand to clean countertops, appliances, windows and anything else you come across that needs a good once-over.

We included Swiffer WetJet on the list because, well, it’s amazing. It’s so easy to use and makes cleaning the floors so effortless. We love our WetJet because it’s an all-in-one mopping system, it traps dirt so it doesn’t just get pushed around, and it’s simple to set-up and use! The Swiffer is at the top of my must-have list because we used it SO much before we moved to clean the flooring of our new and old home. It’s the perfect thing to make cleaning easier, and it’s so cute you won’t even mind using it! I mean, how great is that purple? 😉

Tide® PODS® Laundry Detergent is great to have on hand because it’s a detergent, stain remover, and brightener all in one! I used these on all of our curtains and other washable fabrics before packing them up to move into the new house. I wanted to make sure everything we were taking over to our new house was clean, and as soon as I unpacked the curtains I could smell that fresh Tide® smell, ahh!

Next on our list is Unstopables™ Air Refresher from Febreeze. This baby is great for freshening up your space by giving it a clean, fresh smell. It’s long-lasting and smells so fresh, perfect for a fresh new start in a new home, don’t you think?

Tips to Make Your Home Move-In Ready

Charmin® Ultra Strong is a must because when moving into a new place, toilet paper is at the top of the must-have list! It’s got a washcloth-like texture that allows you to use up to 4X less** (**Vs. the leading bargain brand), which is a huge difference! It’s also 4X stronger*** (***When wet vs. the leading bargain brand). Once you try the Charmin® Ultra Strong toilet paper, you won’t be able to go back – it’s just that good! One of the first things I did when we moved into our new place was stock our bathrooms up with plenty of toilet paper. Because during a long day of moving things into your new home the last thing you’ll want to encounter is a bathroom with an empty toilet paper roll, am I right?

So, there you have it! Those are our must-haves for cleaning during a move. I’m not going to lie, moving is stressful. But, if you prepare yourself with these must-haves it will definitely be a little bit easier.

Happy Moving!

    I’ve been looking at houses/condos since the end of January (and it’s now July …) … no luck yet but I’m definitely going to have to clean a bit, both when I move and when I move out of my apartment. Thanks for the list.

    Great list for things to have around the house on move-in or any other day! We clearly have similar taste in household cleaning and paper products since I stock the majority of your list in my own apartment, Kendall.

    I move all the time and totally feel your pain. My husband and I have done three cross-country moves in the last five years and are gearing up to do it again this month. Cleaning a new house is sooooo important to making it feel “ready.” Good tips!

    I’ve moved enough to know how important having a game plan is and how essential having great cleaning products (and a laundry basket) is to making it through the process. As many times as I’ve moved, I should have it down to a science, but I think I learn something new each time. This is the first time we’ve had a house with a basement, and the Unstaopables was an amazing way to make it feel a little fresher.

    Moving is super stressful. I’ve only done it once and I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to live in this forever!’

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
