I bought different colored duct tape - one color for each room. Then on the tape I wrote what was in the box. So all the purple tape went to the bedroom and the yellow tape to the kitchen, etc. That way, no one had to read any labels and none of my boxes went to the wrong room. I read the labels and decided which boxes could wait until the next day. :) Thank goodness for duct tape!

[@bluefan84]

I'm thinking of doing this. Did anyone get confused or annoyed having to figure out which color went to which room?

[@kamiwillis2733]

Amanda Cromley you could also write the room so that people can read but don't have to. also if it's a small place you could just put a bit of the color tape on the door to the room things are going to

[@emilyhendr]

Amanda Cromley i know this was 4 years ago but you could at the front of the house or on the front door have a chart that says which color goes to which room so that when they walk in the house the just look and they dont have to walk to each room looking fir the color

[@emilyhendr]

clickerqueen as one of 4 kids and 2 parents their is a lot of boxes so i have used different color tape so i can just say to bring all the boxes with ______ tape to my room. I also gave written on the side what it is

[@LondonLightsBeauty]

[@ppiinnkkislife661]

Anna Quinn why

[@aroharmysal]

@@ppiinnkkislife661 because they did a collab with them and she got to showcase all her collected items cause she was fangirling so much

These are great tips! The painter's tape trick is genius. We moved to a different state when my oldest was 6 weeks old (and it was on New Year's Eve!). I still couldn't lift boxes. Also, your pantry is really tidy. I am super jealous of that.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Thanks Lydia! I promise it won't stay that way but it is nice when the rest of the house is a mess :) xx B

Thanks so much for your tips,.... We are shifting in a month and a half into our newly built home. Can't wait and soooo excited!

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Congrats, thats awesome!! xx B

[@andijimenez283]

I have a tip for opening boxes when u put tape on the box get a sturdy piece of string and put it under the tape so when you go to peel off the tape it literally just takes seconds

[@mamaaudge]

Omg.... Love all the tips, especially the tv "selfie", having food already there, and bringing the kitchen with you. Makes me wanna move, just so I could put these fabulous tips to use! Beautiful home, btw! You're a gem, Brooke! Keep the tips coming!

[@candidcait]

Great tips! I move apartments this weekend! Eek! I don't have that much stuff (mainly just bedroom furniture and then kitchen plates and cooking supplies) but it's still pretty overwhelming.

[@carlyolson650]

Of course the video is great (as I realize I'm

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

haha, thanks Carly :) cross state moves are tough but hopefully some of these tips will help...good luck with your move! xx B

[@norahvenegas4169]

These tips are great! It sure makes sense to plan ahead with the 'moving calendar'! I always look forward to Friday for your vlog :) Keep 'em coming! 😊👍

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Thanks Abby!! xx B

[@azaleac.johnson2850]

Your dog is so adorable!!! Thank you for all your tips and tricks. I am not a mom but I find your videos extremely entertaining and fun. I am a proud subscribers and LOVE your videos.

[@zoegelber1168]

Another trick I've learned is when your transferring plates put a disposable plate in the middle to "cushion" the plates so they don't break.

[@MissJoanna17]

I love you for posting this! You gave me a tip last week which I was so excited about and when I saw this on my feed I was even more so! I am a week away from our move so this gives me some extra motivation to get stuff done!

[@HelpfulMum]

Great tips thank you. We're moving in 5 weeks and I will definitely try some of these.

[@emmasadventures9142]

I’m actually moving tomorrow and we have packed our whole house EXEPT our kitchen 🙌

[@TheBubblypumpkin]

I'd add, look for movers who will dissemble and reassemble your furniture! this made our lives so much easier.

[@caitlinparton7503]

You should do a house tour when everything is settled.

[@millettecarter9254]

OH MY LINCOLN IS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

awww, thanks :) xx B

[@millettecarter9254]

:-)

[@alexxgzz]

We never bought boxes when we moved! We just went to downtown and found rlly good boxes for free!

[@kimwheaton1463]

Taking a picture of the t.v. cords...genius! I wish I would have thought of that last time I moved :)

[@rebekkaroende]

For some reason I cannot wait to move out ,not that I don't love my family it just seems so fun.(I know,I am shocked too)

[@etangy4251]

I thought it was Calvin in the thumbnail, so I clicked because I thought it was new 😝

[@lunaaggy9150]

thank you so much for the tips!! my family is moving to another house in a couple of weeks, and we haven't moved in 20 years!! so it will be a big move, thank you for the tips!! (:

[@valeryphalon8065]

This is great! I have watched this before but we are moving in 2 months and now I'm finding it so helpful. lol

[@xXTheBuddXx]

also go to grocery stores and ask for any cardboard boxes they don't need anymore, they will give them to you for free.

[@juniorhenrh4672]

xXTheBuddXx Google's movie

[@reemh5089]

yaiyy congrats~.... actually we Just moved this month to our first home as well..with 2 kids!!.. anyway seems i used a lot of these tips! ... main one was to make 4-5 trips with kitchen items, & food that was in the freezer & fridge (that was all taken by car trips).. other extra tips that might be helpful..(1) i used masking tape to write the name on the room on the box, just so i could use it again. I also adding labels (with tape) on the box for key things i might want, so i won't dig & open all the boxes... (chargers, hangers, bath rugs etc...).. (2) in one of these car trips I set up 1 bathroom, for taking a shower at the end of the day. Plus I separately packed 1 set of bed linens. (3) over lap a 1 week with the old apartment to allow time for cleaning the kitchen & to double..triple check you took everything!!... my girls enjoyed the moving day at the zoo.. so it was a win win!!... happy moving can't wait to see your tips on decor!!

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Wow, these are great tips, thanks for sharing! Congrats on your new home! xx B

[@alli3822]

[@couturesin]

I'm actually moving tomorrow. Uhg. It's just from one apartment omplex to another across my unis campus (tiny town so the Uni is pretty much the center of it) and we signed our new lease a week early. This way we were able to move all our things on our own time instead of stressing trying to get it all done in one day.

[@justinewilton9481]

so I am moving in a week and I have watched tons of tips on moving and this one was the best that helped me thank you whatsupmoms you just earned another subscriber

[@viviane1002]

Please, please make a house tour! Your house looks so amazing!

[@adysenchung5754]

OMG! In the begging, Dexter is like falling asleep on Brooke's lap!

[@AgentMucha]

I have moved a lot and my top two tips are: 1. Always unpack and make your beds as one of the FIRST things you do when you get to your new place. You always end up enthusiastically unpacking more than you can handle. Being able to crash is brilliant (rather than having to make your bed when you're exhausted). 2. Have one box of essentials to hand - plates, cutlery, cups and DON'T forget the toilet paper! Stash a roll in the bathroom as soon as you arrive.

[@davidmesut3406]

i'm getting sick just thinking about moving out

[@sarahkolb323]

My friend is moving right next to me so I will have to show him these tips thanks Brooke

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

Thanks Sarah!! xx B

[@sarahkolb323]

[@kaytlynnschehl9903]

[@snowystone6815]

caution my opinion ahead I hate when people say that their child is 24 months old. 2. your kid is 2

[@FastirelangBlake]

Snowy Stone it's mostly because there's such a difference between 1 year old to 2 years old :) so months give a more precise age

[@snowystone6815]

Ireland Blake I gave a caution

[@FastirelangBlake]

Mandi Romney awesome!! :)

[@imawhale1387]

Snowy Stone I know like can't you just say 2 instead of making your kids sound younger than they actually are 😐

Good thing you guys are here. Even though i am only 11,i watch this so when I have kids later on in my life i can remember this. Thanks You For Making Vids WhatsUpMoms!

[@JennerationOfGrace]

These really were the best moving tips ever! Thank you!!!

[@harrietbaker2233]

I moved about 9 months ago. As we were packing we got rid of at least 10 trash bags, and made one or two trips to goodwill per day! We also sent my older brother (15) and my dad up to the new house before my sister(12),mom and I got there so they could get food and other stuff. The moving truck didn't come right away so we brought sleeping bags and slept on the floor. My favorite hack is to bring a backpack full of games and books to preoccupy your time, if you don't have your stuff.

[@qbvideography2898]

another great tip, is looking for boxes at your local grocery store, pet store, etc. most times they throw the boxes out after they get shipments

[@sarahrenee2100]

When Lincoln was crying at the beginning he was probably thinking " mom where are my toys."
