That promotion you’ve been angling for has finally become a reality, or you’ve found a dream house in your dream neighborhood, and it means moving to a totally new city. First things first, congratulations! But as exciting as such a big event is, moving is also a lot of work.

And it’s even worse when you’re uprooting your family to move to the other side of the country. If you’re facing down a big move, prepare yourself with these simple tips. Whether you’re moving abroad, to another coast or just to a neighboring city, they’ll help make the task a little easier.

Discuss it with the Family

Moving is nerve-wracking for everyone, but for kids who just started to make friends at school, it can be a frightening new experience. They might be worried both about leaving these friends behind and meeting their new classmates. [Read more…]

For Moving, Renovations and More, Life is Easier with a BigSteelBox

September 12, 2017 by Kathryn 16 Comments

For the last four months or so, my husband and I have been eagerly involved in the process of building our forever house. Sitting on six acres of beautiful Saskatchewan prairie, it’s a dream in every way and we can’t wait to move in.

Because of that, we wanted to start organizing and preparing for the move so that when our house was ready, we could get into it as soon as possible. But with the house still under construction, there was no way to do that since we had no way to move and store our packed items.

Then we found the answer…in the form of a BigSteelBox!

Make Moving More Secure with the Master Lock 4401DLH Outdoor Bluetooth Padlock and More! #LSSS

May 10, 2016 by Kathryn 15 Comments

Last summer, I made one of the biggest changes of my life by selling the house in which I was raised and moving out of the small town in Saskatchewan that was my home for my entire life. My two boys and I moved to the city of Moose Jaw and now live with my fiancé in a cute two-bedroom townhouse. But even now, we’re in a transitional phase, with a move to either Thunder Bay or Saskatoon planned for the fall.

And that means that once again, I’ll be making plans to pack up everything I own and transfer it to a new house. Since this will be our “forever house,” I can’t wait to make that move. But I know that it will also be a lot of work! And there’s no better time to prepare for the big event than May, which is also National Moving Month!

Master Lock has always been my first choice for products that keep my house secure, and the company has just as many great choices for keeping items safe during a move as well. From cargo nets for secure transportation to padlocks for securing valuables, I have more peace of mind during a move knowing that I’ve got Master Lock on my side! [Read more…]

Find Trustworthy Newmarket Movers at a Top Moving and Storage Company

April 1, 2016 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

When I sold my house and moved to Moose Jaw last summer, a lot of work went into packing and transporting the bulk of my house to a storage unit in Regina. Later that same year, my fiance and I moved from his small two-bedroom apartment to a roomier three-bedroom townhouse. We hired a mover to get the big furniture from one place to another, and then later rented a truck and spent the day moving boxes from my storage locker to our townhouse basement.

It was a long and exhausting process, but I have to say that I was amazed by how much easier hiring the movers had made the experience. And if I could have found a reliable mover that also offered storage, moving from one place to another would have been a breeze!

Now, for those looking for Newmarket Movers, that need is being filled by Bradford Moving and Storage! I recently saw an article about the company that was shared on Twitter about its storage space expansion, giving the company the largest climate controlled self-storage facility in the York area. The family-owned business is clearly passionate about making the moving process as easy as possible for other families, and the expansion of the storage space is just one way that the company is doing that.
