Its 2022 and I just came across this video by accident. I’m preparing for our first PCS ever and its overseas 🤦🏽♀️ I’m totally overwhelmed and your video helped me make sense of everything going on. Thank you so much!!
Hey girl! Thanks for watching and I’m so glad it helped! It’s normal to be overwhelmed but it’ll be all worth it when you get to where you’re going! Luckily your next stop is Germany!! 🥰
Can Opener, paper plates, cups, and plasticware. You will be exhausted by the time you get to your new home and will be ordering pizza or other to-go items for a few days. Military, too:-)
Well done you! I'm packing to move and it's daunting... I've been throwing things out/giving things to goodwill for about 4 weeks now. I think I can start packing today.
I am on hubby's tablet, my name is Brigitte, just wanted to say, thank you for your service and please let your hubby know I thank him for his service too and this is coming from Canada 🇨🇦 😁💖
Great video with lots of tips!!!! I dont want to ever become a pro at moving lol. I like traveling but not moving. I cant wait to see you unpack and decorate the new home. It's a plus to be able to spend time with your family before moving. Also it was so nice seeing your curls in this video. Best wishes to you and the family. Safe travels!!
We are gearing up for another move and I love gathering ideas from others. Most of this I've done in the past but the refresher is helpful. Especially this move in bin. Thanks
this is the perfect video for me. completing my first pcs move to fort campbell in just 2 WEEKS. im excited but also confused because i just don't know where to start lol
This video was so helpful! I’ll be experiencing my first military move soon. When it came to your wall decor (art, family photos, etc) and glassware/dishes are those things that you’d recommend packing yourself or do the movers pack them with care pretty well so they don’t get damaged in transit?
Hey! How exciting!!! It’s all up to you what you decide to do really. Moving companies prefer to pack everything themselves though. The only things we do not let them pack are things we bring with us (important papers, documents, and other personal items). Everything else they pack.
You are a pro...what movers did use that packs and moves for you...totally need this. My hubby is a truck driver, I work fulltime at home and 4 kids Homeschooling and we close on house October 2...lol.. we are not even close to he ready or packed
Tameka Fulton hey! Thank you so much! Your going to have to contact some companies in your area. Usually moving companies pack everything and some even unpack everything once you get to the new house. Since we are military we get that option every time although all moving companies are just normal moving companies.
@@CandisH Thanks so much Candis, I never knew you could hire movers to unpack for you, that's amazing . Thanks for sharing I found someone in my area that does the same. Take care & I look forward to more content from you.😁
My name is Valerie I am Joe's wife I am a foster mom we are moving the end of the month. I wanna start working on the kids bedroom what do you recommend? I'm thinking of taking down the bunk g bed but they love it. What did you take out first the bottom or top mattress safety bar or ladder? Should I put the mattresses on the floor?
Loved your video! Will watch more because I will be moving in a couple of weeks. I love moving to be honest haha. You mentioned you put dryer sheets in the vacuum bag. Can you tell me what's the benefit? Just purchased a couple of vacuum bags myself so can use the tip!
My husband got selected to be a recruiter. We're hoping that the military will move us. How have your experiences been with the military moving your things? I've heard horror stories and I hope they're not that common. Thanks!
Sara Shusta well the military uses outside moving companies. I’m not 100% sure if there is a such thing as “military movers”. No matter what company..there can always be bad things to happen. We have definitely had a bad experience but also good ones with moving 😊. Congrats to you and your hubby on the new job! Well wishes for you both! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Dumb question, but do they pack your clothes for you? I of course have the clothes I want to move myself, but I’ve already been packing my clothes in boxes since I’m particular about my clothes. Will they accept the clothing boxes I have or will they want to transfer all of them into their own boxes? This will be my first move and I don’t really have any big hhg I’m worried about. It’s more my clothes.
I can’t be sure for all moving companies but they usually will take what you have out of the box and repack it in their boxes. If I were you I would double check with the company because you could be doing all this prepacking for no reason.
Side note: dish pods are so bad! They’re just expensive marketing garbage that doesn’t work as well as the OG powder. Powder is the cheapest and works the best!
It's crazy you don't realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all up.
I know! And we get rid of a lot throughout the year! Still there’s so much stuff!!!! Lol
I’m in the process of moving now and I told a friend the same thing! It’s overwhelming
girl ain’t THAT the truth!!!? I’m moving now and it’s seriously overwhelming how much crap gets accumulated over time.
My current situation

I’m so glad you did this video! I’m moving August for the first time since kids and I’m terrified. I’m noting so many things - thank you!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Girl me too! Moving with 3 kids, one of which is a baby!! Losing my mind. Lol
Thank you, thank you. It is not a lot of videos on preparing you before the movers come in. So thank you. This was really helpful.
The map idea is dope
I agree!!
I love that Map idea. I use bags, too. I have a go book. I have one binder for all important documents. I PCS this summer.
It is wise to have a plan where you are moving and you clearly did. Great Job and best wishes.
I was watching your moving video from 2 years ago and checked to see if you had a more recent one. Thanks for all the tips!
Great video with lots of tips!!!! I dont want to ever become a pro at moving lol. I like traveling but not moving. I cant wait to see you unpack and decorate the new home.

I PCs starting Monday with my husband and glad I saw this because I put my things in boxes as well, just making sure it’s not only me
Great video and I’m Loving the map idea. I’m so excited for you guys!
Thanks hun for these tips! My husband and I are PCSing from Fort Rucker to Fort Bliss just found out a month before😅😅😅
We're leaving Fort Bliss for Fort Benning in a month!! I have loads of recommendations for you if you have any questions at all!
I miss military packers, they do it sooooo much better than the others, argggghhhh
We are gearing up for another move and I love gathering ideas from others. Most of this I've done in the past but the refresher is helpful. Especially this move in bin. Thanks
Great idea regarding Move in new house Box necessities..
I love the idea of a safe room!
This is very helpful thank you!! 😊
Thank you so much for the tips! Do you happen to I have a link to the vacuum bags you used for your bedding?
I didn't see a link to it. But if you pause the video, it shows the brand to be Room Essentials (from Target).
Love the map idea! So cute
I wish I had access to this video before we moved... COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! 😫
Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.
this is the perfect video for me. completing my first pcs move to fort campbell in just 2 WEEKS. im excited but also confused because i just don't know where to start lol

you did good , i couldnt do it .how many times do they move you around?
Hi Candis what size did you get your maps? and I like the moving tips great video
Hey! The map size is a 18x24! I love it because they aren’t too big and not too small!
My name is Valerie I am Joe's wife I am a foster mom we are moving the end of the month. I wanna start working on the kids bedroom what do you recommend?
I'm thinking of taking down the bunk g bed but they love it. What did you take out first the bottom or top mattress safety bar or ladder? Should I put the mattresses on the floor?
Loved your video! Will watch more because I will be moving in a couple of weeks. I love moving to be honest haha. You mentioned you put dryer sheets in the vacuum bag. Can you tell me what's the benefit? Just purchased a couple of vacuum bags myself so can use the tip!
No real benefit! Just so they smell fresh when opening the bags up:) so glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching!
@@CandisH ah great! Thanks for replying so quickly. I love in Holland and just came across your videos. Love the inspiration it gives. ☺️
❤️❤️❤️
We are moving in the end of the month when would you recommend taking apart the boys bunk bed the boys are 5 and 6
I think we took the down the boy’s bed the day before:) good luck on the move and thanks for watching!!!

👌👌

How delicate were your movers with dishes, monitors, and tvs?
Yep. We didn’t have any broken dishes or tvs :)
Side note: dish pods are so bad! They’re just expensive marketing garbage that doesn’t work as well as the OG powder. Powder is the cheapest and works the best!
💪🏾🌹💞🎉
OK extremely important question.... where did you get that Hot Wheels track of awesomeness??
Target a few years ago! It’s called the Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage!
@@CandisH Thank you!!
Do you ship your move in box via postal?
No it goes in one of our cars:)
