Essentials for Kids on the Move

While I was lucky enough to experience my first move at the ripe age of eighteen, a move for children of any age can be a scary, unsure experience. I’ve seen a lot of anxious looks on the faces of our younger customers, and part of my job at All My Sons Moving & Storage is to make sure every member of the family has a safe, happy move.

There are a few things to keep in mind when moving with children. Comfort is what is at stake when changing homes. Even if you’re only moving a short distance (i.e., a local move), make sure to pack a bag for each child. Fill the bag with the comforts of home: a few favorite toys, blankets, books, CDs/MP3 player, games, a change of clothing, and snacks. Adjust the contents of the bag to include extras like a pillow and toiletries for long distance moving.

Once your family arrives at your new location, unpack a few boxes in each child’s room to personalize their new space. If you’re short on time, set up a corner with your child’s favorite items. If you move with All My Sons, our movers will set up beds. Pack clean linens in a clearly-marked box and make up the bed. It will really add a sense of comfort to a new bedroom!

Children need a lot of extra attention during a move. Establishing a sense of comfort as soon as possible after your arrival will make them feel at home.

Moving is Tough, so take a break!

If you are completing a move this weekend, chances are you’re going to be a bit worn out! Even if you hire professional movers in Dallas to lend a hand or two, you’ll still be a little drained from all of the hustle and bustle of the day. Here are a few tips to get you from zero to relaxed during your breaks, however short they may seem!

You have probably heard moving companies like All My Sons Moving & Storage suggest packing a bag filled with your essentials during a local or long distance move. Don’t forget to toss in a few things that will make you nice and comfy. For a quick pick me up, freeze a bottle of water or your favorite non-carbonated beverage. After a few hours of moving, that cold drink will taste like a little bit of heaven! For a little escape, pack a good book or your favorite music on a portable music device. If the weather is chilly, add a cozy sweater or a small blanket to curl up in for a quick cat nap.

Try to unload and set up beds and chairs first so you’ll have somewhere to sit and rest during the move. Bring a favorite snack to give yourself an energy boost when the going gets tough.

Moving isn’t easy, but paying attention to the little details can make all the difference. Here’s wishing you a safe, happy move!

Does Your Moving Company Have Psychic Powers

Don’t look now, but the Dallas movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage might be reading your mind! Is it magic? Or maybe the full moon? Do our professional movers simply have special, super-human powers?

Not exactly, but it’s easy to compare our hardworking Dallas movers with the likes of super heroes. As a truly talented, fourth-generation moving and storage company, All My Sons provides expert services and quality customer care. We’ve been doing this so long, in fact, that we often can anticipate a customer’s needs before they even realize it.

That’s not to say we generalize our moving services. In fact, our Dallas movers are perfectly aware that each move to Dallas or Fort Worth is special and requires a different combination of quality moving and storage services. However, our job is to think outside of the moving box, so to speak! What sets this Dallas moving company apart from the others is our ability to anticipate your needs before you have to ask us, or even before you realize you need a specific service! This helps us (my coworkers and I) know that we have every detail of your move covered. Chances are, you’re stressed about the very thought of moving to begin with, and your mind is racing every which way to cover all of the details: officially changing your address, notifying friends and relatives, preparing your family, and several other steps you need to take to pull off a successful move (click here for our handy moving checklist to help organize your move). You need a Dallas moving company with the brains AND the brawn to take your moving needs and put a plan into action.

I know it is my job to see to it that your moving needs are met, and that means taking the initiative when I see there is missing information for your move. That’s why when you call All My Sons, we’ll ask you a series of questions to make sure we have every detail down. You may think we’re nosy, but that’s not it at all! We simply need to know all of the details up front, so when our green and white moving truck pulls up to your door, you’ll be amazed at our efficient methods and high quality moving and storage services. It’s what we do best at All My Sons!

Moving Professionals that Care

I’ve been known to be a little stubborn at times. Back in the day, when I was young and naïve, I insisted on moving myself. And by moving myself, I mean I insisted on enlisting friends and family to help me move from home to home. I guess I didn’t realize the risk of having helping hands that weren’t trained at providing help. Over the years, I lost several dishes and found several scratches and scrapes on my furniture. No big deal, right?

When my wooden bed frame (complete with headboard and footboard), which had been moved at least 4 times, completely collapsed as my friends and I were trying to put it back together, I decided to casually look around for ways to hire a few professional movers for next time. But when I discovered that the screen of my television was ruined, I KNEW things had to change.

Moving with true, professional Dallas movers is not only more convenient and hassle-free. The value is priceless. All My Sons Moving & Storage has access to high-quality moving supplies like moving boxes, sturdy tape, cushioning packing materials and much more. If you add full-service packing to your move to Dallas, you’ll be sure your items are fully-protected as they are carefully packed by industry professionals. Our Dallas movers wrap all furniture in quilted padding before anything leaves the house, so your furniture is safe from even minor bumps and scratches.

No matter how often you’ve moved, All My Sons takes the cake when it comes to experience. We have four generations worth of moving and storage experience, and a professional training program that blends our traditional standards of service with new techniques and technology available today. We even have a simulated moving environment where our certified moving consultants teach each mover the secrets to providing a hassle-free move.

Working with professional Dallas movers makes everything easier. You’ll enjoy peace of mind and lots of extra time when All My Sons plans and delivers your move to Dallas.
