Make sure you check the schools and childcare, as there are deadlines.
Have a moving folder (I love this idea), where all your moving information is at your fingertips – business cards and contact information.

How to Prepare for Relocation
September 18th, 2009
There are several reasons why people relocate. One is because of a natural disaster. Another is because of work. There are also instances when a family has to move because of unpaid mortgage and foreclosure. Whatever the reason is for your relocation, you have to ensure that you are ready. Prepare your things as well as yourself. These are essential so that you will be able to adjust better.
The preparations that you are going to make largely depend on the reason why you are relocating, the place where you are going and the people who will be moving with you. If you are moving because of work, you have to make sure that all your documents to work in that country or state is ready. You have to bring with you all requirements that might be needed for work. You should also find a place near your workplace to make it easier for you.
If you are going to move with your family, make sure that you are moving to a family friendly neighborhood. See to it that there is a good school for your children. It would be ideal if there were recreation parks or beaches nearby. This way, you can easily find time and activity with your children.
In addition to the above mentioned information, you should also keep the following in mind:
1. Before moving, make sure that you research about your new home. What is the weather like and when does it usually change. Learn about the society, their rules and culture. This will help prepare you for the change.
2. Have a checklist of what to do. It would be better if you have a time table so that you can specify what to do during that day. First you have to indicate your moving date. That will help you organize the things you need to accomplish. If you need help, hire services ahead of time. Make sure that the movers know when and where you are moving.
3. Gradually pack your things. Pack the things that you can ahead of time. Designate boxes for similar items and label them. Taking the extra step to label your boxes will greatly help you find the things you immediately need when you reach your new home. You should also clean all your linens and rugs to prepare it for packing. To make it easier for you, assign each member of the family to pack their own things. You can also assign them specific things to pack.
4. All important documents should be secured. Remember, almost all actions you are going to take such as enrolling your children or filing for loans will require original documents.
5. Make sure that you inform your friends and family about your new address and contact information. You should also inform the local authorities and other parties that will need it.
Your preparation will be a great factor on how you will feel once you are in your new home. This will greatly help you and your children adjust to the new place easily.
