My husband and I moved into our first house this weekend. Hooray for us! It is the most amazing feeling being a homeowner for the first time ever. However, I can’t begin to tell you how exhausting moving is. Of course anyone who has ever moved an apartment/home before knows exactly what I’m talking about. But I can tell you that one of the best solutions for last minute, i.e. frantic, packing is the use of
custom bags. I – due in large part to my slight addiction to shopping - have loads of custom bags stored in my closet for times just like this. Custom bags are the perfect solution for all of those odds and ends that are left lying around till the last minute. Not only do they make for great storage, but their sturdy straps are perfect for throwing over your shoulder to carry heavy loads.
I packed three (large)
custom bags full of shoes and then threw randomly left out items – flashlight, remote control, books, batteries – into two others to transport to my new home. While this may not be the most sophisticated method of packing, my belongings securely got to their final destination, where they lay. Waiting patiently to be unpacked. And the best part about this? I not only have a reason to justify to my husband why I had three bags filled with empty bags in my closet, but I get to keep my cute and convenient custom bags to use for another day!
