Moving BuJo Set Up | Moving Spread Ideas for your Bullet Journal!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2024
- Today I'm setting up a brand new notebook to use as a moving bullet journal for my upcoming cross-country move! Hopefully this video gives you some ideas for moving spreads you could try in your own bujo next time you're relocating.
Don't forget to let me know in a comment what you think I should do with the tabs and if you have any ideas for other spreads we might need or tips for traveling with cats over a long distance!

FAQs
What does your channel name mean? I picked "Plant Based Bride" for my blog when I started it back in 2015 as I was starting the process of planning my vegan wedding and wanted to document it. I have been vegan for 8+ years and married since 2016!
What's your real name? Elizabeth
Where are you from? I'm a Canadian from Toronto, Ontario.
Are you a natural redhead? No, I'm naturally a brunette. I dye my hair using Herbatint 8R.
Are your nails natural? Nope, they're press ons and I do them myself (see how in this tik tok: www.tiktok.com... )
What nail polish are you wearing? Urbanized by Cirque Colors.
Something I’ve seen that I find super helpful is packing a “first night” box! Put it in your car, right on top of everything else so it’s the first thing to grab. Put stuff like toilet paper, phone chargers, a change of clothes, cat food, anything you’d need to survive one night (or more) in an empty house! Makes it so you dont have to open several boxes for just necessities :)
We’ll be packing everything we need for the first week or two at least in the van! I definitely didn’t think about toilet paper though, so thank you for including that 😂
I LITERALLY HAVE THIS. In my backpack (I don't have a purse, I bus everywhere and buying stuffs I need and paying for bags gets annoying so I shove it my backpack) I have a bug out section....
I live in a tsunami zone and we've been surrounded by extreme news events where Australia has prayed for us fires... its just a thing we do now.
I think a gradient of browns would look very nice with the coffee themed book (and the color of brown moving boxes).
Love that! 🤎
Exactly what I thought!💕
that's what I was going to say too
a tip : you can watch series on InstaFlixxer. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Jason Leandro Yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
When we last moved from AZ to WA we used a moving company. The thing that helped most was to color code the boxes to the rooms. We used construction paper and assigned a different color to each room.
Red was for the kitchen, green was for the living room, blue was for the master bedroom, and yellow was for the guest room/office. We used painter's tape to attach a sheet of construction paper to the door of the room using the appropriate color. With each box that had a piece of red paper taped to it, the mover's helpers knew that box went into the kitchen because we taped a piece of red paper to an upper cabinet door. Boxes with blue paper went to the room with blue paper on the door. No colored paper on the box? No problem. Those went into the garage.
Hope Chewy and Yoda do well during the trip. They will probably be very demanding and require lots of petting and snuggles. Have they been microchipped?
Sounds like a great system! I hope they'll be ok, too! Definitely all the cuddles haha 😊 yes, they have!
They make packing tape in different colors with different room names printed right on it. Best moving hack.
Thats genius
We used a similar system, but chose colored sticker dots that we purchased at Staples.
This! When I moved a couple years ago we had a similar system. Each rooms color was based on the walls of the room. So my room was purple. Each box had a color written on it. The exceptions were the kitchen and sunroom since those were obvious.
Safiya Nygaard just posted a moving vlog a little bit ago of them moving from LA to North Carolina and they took their cat with them in the car! They had a litter box in the car and set the cat up his bed on the backseat and would let him get acclimated at every stop! So they'd feed him in the morning and in the evening when they would stop at a hotel, and then scoop the litter every time they stopped!
Oh awesome! We don’t think our cats would use the litter in the car but we have a pop up pen and a pop up litter box to set up at frequent stops ❤️
We’re a military family and move A LOT. Love these spreads. I always make a bucket list spread of things we want to do before we leave an area, and a “brain dump” of all the things we want to try once we get there. Having little things like that help break up the monotony of packing and unpacking.
That’s such a great idea! I wish Toronto wasn’t in a full lockdown still so I could go to all my favourite places and see all of my favourite people before we leave 😭
@@PlantBasedBride we’re prepping for a move too and won’t be able to do this like we normally have in the past. Feel you!
For the tabs, I think various shades of coffee would be cool. You could make the darker shades stand for stronger brews and have those tabbed pages be the ones you think are the most time-consuming tasks.
Oo I like that!
The vet can provide a light sedative to help with the kitties and helping them be calm. You might also want to start taking them on drives around your area sooner rather than later so they get used to the car :)
This is great advice: starting to get your cats used to riding around, if possible, increasing the time they spend in the car a bit every time you do that...
We’ve started bringing them out to the car and leaving it off to get them comfortable and then we’ll graduate to driving around the block! We have a vet appointment in a few weeks so we’ll ask what they recommend ❤️
As someone who's currently as grounded as a fluffy dandelion seed in the breeze, I'm super grateful a video like this exists. It'll definitely help me next time I need to move.
Lol 😂 I’m happy to help!
I’d love to see an update once you have finished this bullet journal - what worked well, what didn’t, what you would add and so on for moving and house searching. Best of luck in your new adventure!
The box inventory is SUCH a good idea. Good luck with the move!!
Thank you! I’m really hoping it helps on the other side to be able to find everything easily ❤️
When we had to drive our cat halfway across the country, we had a pillow on some bin in the very back of the car, and he found his way back there and cuddled up on it where he could look out the back window the whole way. If your cats like looking out windows like ours do, it really helps keep them entertained throughout the long days!:)
Gray or Brown ombré could be really cool for the tabs, but when I think brown ombré for coffee I can only think of boxes 📦.
Good luck with your move!!
Wow, this super simple setup really spoke to me, but more importantly, I hope you have a low stress move and congratulations on such a big life change!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
We just made a cross country move in December, with three cats. It was also a three-day drive. I highly recommend talking to your veterinarian to get some sedatives for your cats. Not only for their comfort, but for your sanity. Best of luck!
We’ll definitely be asking them what they suggest in their vet appointment in a few weeks!
Hello Elizabeth. Congratulations on your new adventure. We moved into our current home when my daughter was 5 months old. One thing that I did when packing was pack things according to where I would want them to land in our new home. I labeled the boxes so anyone who helped unload would know where to put them and we wouldn't have to open the boxes and guess where to shuffle them around. We only moved a few blocks so I can't help you too much with making a cross country move. My best advise is to remember that it is easy to get overwhelmed so breaking it down into smaller more managable tasks might lessen the anxiety that moving can produce. Wishing you and your husband the best!
I had to move my cat across the US twice and here's what my mom and I did, but keep in mind you may have to adjust to what your cats need:
I was in the back seat with her so she had full roam of the back seat, this may not be ideal if someone isn't back there with them or you don't have a way to block them from getting under the driver's feet. She hates being in a carrier so we would let her move around while we drove. If your cats hate being in carriers see if you can find like a large kennel or carrier that you can put in the back so they are safe and it doesn't seem as crushing as a cat carrier. Her litterbox was on the floor board but she preferred to use it when we stopped. Make sure your box doesn't have a cover/lid on it so they can easily get in and out. Put a mat or something under it so you can catch any litter that comes out. She had a water bowl that she had access to the entire time but she only preferred to eat/drink whenever we stopped. Put a mat under those too in case of spills. Before you get out make sure you know where your cats are. Either put them in a carrier or have the back seat area made so they can't just jump in and out easily. My cat never offered to jump out so we would just look for where she was before we went out and when I needed out from the back seat I would just place her on the opposite side of where I opened the door. But at that point that had been her second cross country trip so she knew what to do. Oh and make sure you have all their vet records on hand during the drive! Have something with identification on them if you can (microchip or collar) in case they do get out.
A couple of people have mentioned taking them on short car rides before you move, def do that. My cat didn't get to do that aside from going to the vet so it was a major learning process for her. She ended up doing fine but with two cats I def recommend taking them on short car rides first to see what you may have to keep in mind for the 3 day trip. Try to find hotels that are pet friendly along your stops so that they aren't trapped in the car without you when you spend the night somewhere. Really as long as you don't stress over it, your cats should be okay. Best of luck!
I am so impressed by your ability of making stuff look beautiful and elegant without painting or drawing anything!
Great vid as always!
Congrats on the new car and best wishes for the move!
I think the tabs would look great in a gradient of brown -ish colors, going from bit darker on the top to light and warm on the bottom
Oo I love that idea! Thank you so much ❤️
While I don't have as many responsibilities as you do, because I still live with my parents, this inspired me to be a bit more prepared for my own moving process coming up. Best of luck for you and the precious cats! I hope everything goes smoothly 🖤
I’m so glad! Good luck on your move ❤️
Looooove this! The organization!! 😍
For the tabs: This is way far out from what you were thinking lol, but how about alternate brown and gold (to match the cover)? 😁
Wishing you and Jason the smoothest journey on the move and settling in your new home 💖💖💖
Oh that’s a fun idea! Aw thank you so much ❤️❤️
Tabs, all black! I believe it will add a nice touch. Good luck on the move and safe travels!
When I moved with my cats, we ended up leaving them fairly loose. We had a harness and leash on each of them (they come out for walks with us, so they are both used to it), and they were able to roam and choose their own favorite spot. We just left pillows and blankets that they liked around the car so they had plenty of comfy places. Whichever person wasn't driving was just responsible for making sure the cats didn't end up distracting the driver, or getting anywhere near their feet. Good luck!!!
We’ve bought a nice big crate to fit across the back seat that can be zipped together or separate based on how much they like each other that day 😂
@@PlantBasedBride I can see how an option for separation might be a better plan 😅😅😅
I may be moving later in the year, if I am driving alone across country, how do I keep a lap cat off my lap while driving?
I like the coffee colors or greys idea. I recommend a bag of a week's worth of stuff. Anything really delicate or precious going with you in the vehicle. And then using it for the new house and any house projects. To help with ease of packing I started with off season clothes and stuck breakable stuff in the middle. As well as things that were not needed right now. Set up a room to put the boxes in. I would paint anything in the new house before you move in if you can. As well as a quick cleaning so it is easier to deal with. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this! I didn't watch it when it came out, solely because moving out of my parents' home and into an apartment with my bf was only a very vague possibility in May. Now it's very real and happening, like, next weekend (it all fell into place this week). We found the PERFECT wheelchair-friendly apartment. 10 min away from my parents, across the street from my doctor's office, closets and bathrooms I can wheel into instead of getting out of my wheelchair or asking someone for help, and stoves I can reach so I can cook independently (literally almost cried when I realized I could see and reach the stovetop. I'm 28 and have NEVER been able to do that). I'm so excited but also slightly terrified. My boyfriend's current job takes him out of town constantly, so I'm going to be learning to run a home largely on my own for a while. I need aaaaallll the moving spreads to get myself ready. Any advice for this next step in my journey would be welcome!
I hope that all will go well with your move and that your journal helps you a lot. My last move over 11 years ago was a bit of a chaotic mess and I moved (only) 500 km 😅
Thank you! I really hope it goes smoothly. Moving is stressful in the best of circumstances 😅
The timing of this video is impeccable! I’m moving soon and I’m feeling very overwhelmed with everything that I have to do. Thank you so much for helping me! I’ll be setting up these spread ASAP!
Useful checklist :
- to fix or to buy in new apartment (could be light bulb with references, to other bigger stuff)
- expense tracker dedicated to moving. It would also give you a more precise budget once you will be moving to an house.
I loved watching this video😊 I think your videos are awesome and will never get tired of watching them! my idea for your tabs is a light/ pale blue with a black border or some sort of black accent to reference back to the blue print. I hope your move goes well, have an amazing day!
Spring rainbow colors. Yay
For red, use pink
Light yellow, orange and so on.
I'm so glad you made this video because I just found out I'll be moving and I was overwhelmed until I remembered this! Journaling it makes me feel a less overwhelmed so yay! Thank you and best of luck!
Thanks! Same to you ❤
My husband and I are looking to buy our first home soon so this couldn't be more perfect timing!
I had a similar idea for the boxes, I was going to label each box with "kitchen 1" "clothes 4" etc, and use Microsoft onenote(just so it can be more dynamic than pen and paper) to list the contents. I wanted to put the actual room on the box because friends are helping us, so i know it will be super helpful if the boxes are put in the correct room!
Oooooh as a western Canadian so so excited to see where you end up!
something we did that helped when we moved from the Yukon to nova scotia was to keep a journal or log of different things including anything that affected our animals so we could be more aware of it and it also kept us alert to what was happening. things like a daily picture or otherwise helped mind you we needed two weeks so a little longer than your planning. the other thing we wished we did was track drive times and manage who took the wheel when.
I'm currently moving too, and have moved quite a lot those last past year's, and something I always do is a "to do after the moving storm" list ! When you're moving there is always things you think about like "I'm throwing away this very used doormat, no need to move it, we will buy a new one once in the new house" and... winter comes, I forgot to buy a new doormat and my floor is wet^^ do a to do list for things that are not important during the moving, but you still want to do after, it save time, moving burn out and frustration 😉
When I move I also do different lists of items to donate, sell or trash before packing, and I do a timeline for moving day which includes what time I leave, what time I plan to arrive and where I’m staying that night, etc. Also I second what someone else wrote about a bucket list of your new city! For the tabs I think a gradient of gray or brown would be nice.
I would love to see your wedding bullet journal spreads. I’ve skimmed through your old videos and I don’t see any specific to your wedding planning. I bought a special bujo, searched tons of wedding planning spreads and made a list of what I want to include, now I just need to start!
I’m 24 and we’ve moved 8 times in my life bc of my dad’s job. I wish there’d been a bu jo like this one to help me through the process! Moving is hectic and hard, but it also gives us the chance to start life afresh. Good luck with your move, PBB.
That’s such a great way to look at it ❤️ thank you so much!
Wishing you a very smooth move! You’re definitely very organized and I have no doubt you’re all set for success. I moved from Ottawa back to my hometown in eastern QC and we drove with a car full of stuff and our nervous little dog. Not the same as cats obviously but lots of breaks and cuddles along the way helped ease his stress.
Feline pheromone calming sprays are a must for when my cats travel in a car. Love the moving journal so far! Hoping to get my own place next year so this video is a great help.
Ah yes, I need to look into these! ❤️
For traveling with your cats, I cannot recommend ENOUGH the use of bachflower drops. You can get them at any holistic market, they make them for humans and pets, it’s a natural relaxant. I gave them to my cat and dog when I moved cross country and it super chilled out my cat and had my dog snoring! Both animals took it well and seemed to like the taste. My normally very loud cat barely made a peep until day three of the drive.
Oh, I’ve never heard of this! I’ll have to do some research ❤️
Lots of great advice for traveling with cats in this comment string.
I was surprised when I figured out that my two boys very much preferred traveling in the same carrier. Didn't seem like they should both fit, but they were obviously less stressed, so consider it for your two. Also, super common not to drink water until you stop for the night.
My big tip is make sure their chip info is kept up to date. I didn't even move houses and checked on a whim and found I had used an old landline for my phone number (I had my boys for 16 years) and didn't have the number anymore. Worth checking!
Congratulations on your move! I think it's such an awesome thing to journal separately as you have chosen to do. Hmmm .... for the colored tabs .... maybe the colors of your new home?
Great ideas 💡 I love when you do gradients for your tabs. Good luck on your move. Safe travels 💕
I LOVE the simplistic and clean layouts of this ♡
Good luck with your move!!! My cat hates going on cars but bringing her on a shorter drive before your long drive might be nice!! And letting them roam in the back might be nice ~
Seeing this now and oh my, it resonates so much with my own situation! I've been sick at home for a little over 9 months now (no Corona, thank goodness) and this will help me so much for moving ourselves (because we need to be closer to our inner circle people to help us out) - considering I have verrry little energy and have mental health issues.
I bought a journal for this yesterday, before I saw your video just now!
Love love love that you shared this so I can use this as inspiration!
Good luck with your move!!
My suggestion for you is to watch Safiya Nygaard's latest video. She recently moved across the U.S. with her husband as well and I think it would calm you mind to see everything going well for her. Maybe you notice things you haven't thought of for your move and it helps
Hope everything goes smoothly for you and you don't stress to much!
I’ll have to check it out! I haven’t seen one of her videos in forever ❤️
I love the theme you used and I love the color of your bullet journal too!
I’m a military child and so i’m basically a pro on moving. you should add a spread on cities you plan on staying in for the night. You can add the hotel and what not so you have everything there 🤍☺️
That’s a great idea! I’ll definitely do this ❤️
this would’ve made this whole process soooo much easier. i move next week and don’t have the time now but i wish i saw this sooner
Aw I wish I’d had time to post it sooner! Good luck on your move ❤️
@@PlantBasedBride aw thank you so much! same to you of course! 💕
I was just binge-watching your videos and a new video notif just popped up! 😄 This moving bujo is a brilliant idea! Love the spreads 💕
Haha love that! Thank you ❤️
That's awesome thank you for sharing JC
I've heard that it's helpful to bring a blanket or something the cats spend a lot of time on/around, since it would have their scent and give them something familiar to put them more at ease.
Best of luck!! Some suggestions for the roadtrip/arrival list: tea and coffee supplies, bottled water, non-perishable snacks, cat food and kitty litter (and the trays and bowls!), plus toys and any comfort items, toilet paper, cleaning supplies (at least a basic all-purpose spray and some wipes), spare chargers, changes of clothes, lightbulbs, stuff like that.
For the kitties, I recommend designating a room as the Cat Room when you arrive. I used my own room and my boy spent the first several days in an (open) cupboard, full of cushions and blankets. Was very useful having a place for him to make his own while he got used to all the new smells and stuff. Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations for the drive itself, we only moved two hours away XD;;
Agreeing with the ombre browns to match the coffee theme!
Good luck!!
Congrats and good luck! I'd suggest you take with you in your car 1 box with things like toilet paper, hand soap, 2 cups, 2 plates, 2 sets silverware, 1 pan, dish soap, dish towel, trash bags, paper towels, cleaning supplies, bed sheets - all the things you're going to want immediately upon arrival and might take a while to find in the sea of moving boxes. And sometimes the moving trucks get delayed, so you might even want to know of local hotel in case your furniture hasn't arrived (or pack sleeping bags in your car) and you need an alternate 1st night plan! Create list w/addresses of local stores you'll need in new community: Target, Home Depot, grocery's, etc. Safe travels!
Im moving from hawaii to chicago with four cats next month, so I totally get you XDXDXD the tip is keep getting is for a week before you move sleep with towels. Its supposed to help relax cats in carriers but if they're roaming in the car that could still help a bit
I moved from Japan to Australia at the end of last year and made some tracking pages in my planner too it definitely helped keep things on track and manageable!!
One thing I did was make sure I had a list of items I was planning to sell or discard, and what places I could donate them to.
Another key thing for me was an overall timeline and day planner where I could write out when specific things needed to be done by, and then plan out when to do other tasks, that was super helpful! Eg some things can be packed way sooner than others but you still need to use some things, so having that mapped out.
I also had a list of people I wanted to make sure I caught up with and things I wanted to do in Tokyo before I left!!
I don't know how practical it is given the volume of your things, but it drove me a bit crazy a couple of months before and after moving not being able to locate specific things so having a fairly detailed list of key items you want to keep track of and which box they are in!
Oh and for the colour of your tabs I like the idea of a brown to tie in with the coffee cover, and gold lettering to pick up on the coffee icon, I think it would add a bit of lux ☺️
Good luck with the move 💕
I moved into a new house back in March. I'm still unpacking lol. These are good ideas.
Congratulations!! Haha yeah unpacking is quite a process 😂
I feel for you, teeah. I moved almost 4 years ago and I *still* have lingering boxes. 🤦🏻♀️
When we move we always keep a running list of things that we will need to buy for the new place (shower curtains, cleaning supplies). As you pack you will find that you might want to throw something away instead of moving it (example: really old baking sheets, Tupperware with no lids, etc.) and will have to eventually replace them. Things like that. :)
That’s a great idea!
pretty neat!! my boyfriend and I are also moving from Ontario over to New Brunswick before July 1!! we just purchased our first home and it's a huge move because I've been here for my whole life sooo hoping it goes well! all the best in your move!
Or gradient gold to highlight the gold embossing coffee mug ☕️ in the front. Coffee is important! Good luck on the move!
Thank you so much for doing this. I can't find any videos really on this kind of set up. We've decided to move, but haven't decided on the city! So I need to make lists for cities we are considering and all the research that goes into that. I'm not entirely sure if I want to use a bullet journal for this, am in between that and a Happy Planner since I can move the pages. But the spreads, these are SO HELPFUL. Thank you! And thanks everyone else for all of the great suggestions!!
It was so helpful for us! I hope your move goes well ❤️
I vote black tabs with white font!! Good luck with your move!!
For the tabs: I was thinking like Missy Dee but, a little different. My thought was a brown gradient that ends in gold. Then you can repeat the tabs when you start house hunting..The gold tabs would represent a wonderful (end of move or purchase of home) milestone!
I hope your move will go well.
Cat-related tips: Check with your vet to see what they advised for your cats (there are some relaxing "scents" that might be worth trying). Of course, if you could get them used to the car before the long journey that would be best (even just sitting in the back seat petting them without going anywhere so they get used to the space and smell). Introducing your cats to their carry-on early is also a good thing. In case your cats get sick, keep towels and sealable plastic bags on hand during the trip.
the box inventory spreads are genius!! way easier than writing every single item on each box. I'm moving at the end of summer and will definitely keep this in mind. wishing you the best of luck with everything!
also! I think a gold ombre would look nice on the tabs, but it's not my journal. :)
Wow, I am also moving soon and I'm INSPIRED by your organization.
Good luck on your move!
I love the idea of an Ombre of Coffee colors to go with your journal cover!
Gold would be amazing but also a gold to copper or bronze gradient might be really cool and kind of a best of all worlds
i love this! this is such a good idea and i hope that this will destress you as you move across the country! i vote that the tabs are different colors. i tend to associate items with colors and if i need to quickly reference something, i'll think of the color (like if i need to go to j in my journal, i know that there is a red sparkly tab for jan). good luck.
I know I’ll be moving for the first time within the next two years so I’ll save this video for then, it actually alleviated a bit of my anxiety surrounding moving
this is such a great idea !! i’m getting ready to graduate from college in the next year and i’ve been focusing a lot on the things i’ll need to get done for my first big move to my own place, this was such a helpful video. good luck with your move !!
Would love to see a brown/beige gradient on the tabs. I would definitely keep this journal browney and goldey and stay FAR awat from grey. The cover is just so warm that using a cold colour like grey would just totally ruin the aesthetic.
And by the way maybe look into creating a down payment savings tracker type of spread or like a spread where you and hubby sit down and list what you are looking for in a house. This could help weed out the/any overwhelming feeling of looking for a house.
So much organization! Last time I moved I just throw the stuff in the car and drove 🤣 two years later I think I still have a couple of boxes packed
Ps: the tabs in gradients always win!
My boyfriend and I are going to be moving into our first apartment together so I need this! Good luck on your move!
I wish I’d known about bullet journaling when I moved a few years ago. This would have been so helpful.
Making the tabs a light, neutral color might help pick them out of background without making them too glaring or distracting. Just a pale gray to make them distinct.
ETA: nix the pale gray; I second Mathieu Dominique’s suggestion of a gradient of brown shades, like adding milk to coffee.
these are such good ideas! I was thinking about starting a moving/job hunting journal for my last semester of college (this fall!!) to help with the transition!
I think gold for the tabs would be so pretty and stick with the minimal vibe!
looks beautiful! I keep my fingers crossed for you to move safely and find a dream house.
SO USEFUL and perfectly time as we're also moving next month!
I think a black ombre will be really good!
That would definitely go with the spreads!
personally I just love the idea of the tabs being different grey tones, just because the simplicity it gives. Love your video and the atmosphere it has :) good luck on your moving journey 😘
And I also wanted to mention, that I totally enjoy watching your videos because of your calming and relaxing voice :)
Thank you! 🥺❤️ I really appreciate that!
I'm moving soon with my family so I made a spread with a floorplan of my future room and used sticky notes to cut out to scare versions of my furniture so i could plan out the layout 😁 this video had some great ideas i will definitely be showing to my family! 💕
When I moved from Nevada to Indiana a 2500 mile trip with my two cats, I bought an extra large folding dog kennel that was made from tent type material. It took up the whole back seat of my four door Jetta but I was able to put a litter tray and food bowls and blankets in it for them. They had a spill proof bowl for water and I had stacked a few shelf boards under the kennel so it sat stable in the back seat. Granted they will take up the whole back seat and you would need a four door car at least, unless you go for an suv type car. Either way they were safe and secure and had a litter tray so no need to take them out to do their business with a leash and this way no accidents of escaping
I remember the first time I moved from Newfoundland to Alberta. Even though it was exciting, I was so nervous! I didn't sleep for weeks! Best decision I ever made though.
Best of luck on your move! I hope its the best adventure!
Woah, an even further move! We’re nervous enough about Toronto to Alberta haha 😂
Good luck on the move. I’ll be moving in a few months, this was very helpful.
I would keep the tabs a light grey for a clean and minimalist style.
From what ive heard about traveling w cats, from vanlifers etc, i heard its good to “train/practice” w getting them used to driving. Maybe start w a small trip around the block in ur car, for a week or two until they feel comfortable..
then to a store or park, etc, and reward them w treats each trip. Then u can do a maybe weekend trip w them etc.. until they are ready for bigger trips
I hope they'll restock this notebook, i was too late to purchase one! But i love your spreads and whish you a good moving!
When i move in my actual flat, whar helped me so much was to color code the parcels with tags : 1 color = 1 room and i wrote precisely the content of the parcels on it! It was precious for me! ❤️
This is a fantastic idea
Omg I’m moving next month! Perfect timing, thank you!
I think the (color) shades of coffee for the tabs would be nice.
Nice journal - I like the design :)
My moving process was a mess and a lot of things got lost, even my favorite Kaweco fountain pen but I had to move due to a huge water damage issue, so I'm just glad that I was able to find a new place right away. Good luck moving!
Oh no! I’m sorry you had such a hectic move but I’m glad you’re safe in a new place ❤️
When moving/buying a house there was so much paperwork to keep track of! I think a document tracker spread would be helpful. Maybe track what’s pending or completed in regards to paperwork.
Thank you for making this, and please do a follow-up! I am also moving across the country (4800 km) with a cat in a couple of months, so this was perfect timing!
This is so cute! I think for the tabs you should do different shades of caramel brown that would complement the book cover!
That would be super pretty!
I just also did my moving spreads to my bujo. I'm moving out of my college dorm to my parents house for the summer cause dorm building is renovated over the summer... I have one year left of my college and then I graduate and continue to other adventures in my life😊
*screams because the bujo queen has uploaded anothet journal video*
In all seriousness, I hope moving works out well! Best wishes xxx
My partner and I are currently trying to move in together and this couldn’t have come at a better time! Such good ideas and so helpful! Moving is really scary and daunting, especially when neither of us have done it before.
Good luck! That’s so exciting ❤️
For the tabs it may be cute to have them all classic blueprint blue.
Best of luck with moving! It is so exhausting lol
Lol yes so true 😅 love that idea!
I moved from west coast Canada and east coast Canada and I wish I had thought of doing this there’s still some of my stuff and my parents house that they occasionally ship out if I need it. I like that your keeping track of every item in the note book instead of on the box I wish I would have done that
Be sure to leave plenty of time for cleaning once everything is packed up and out of your home. Last time I moved I planned one day per room (counting on "some rooms take more time than others"), but truthfully I could have used one extra day for cleaning the oven, behind the washer/dryer that we took with us and other miscellaneous stuff I forgot. 💖🌞🌵😷
I moved 6 states by myself with 3 kids and 4 cats. Best thing I did was making an appointment with the vet and getting a mild sedative for the kitties. Portable litter boxes are your friend and bring bottled water and extra food.
