Moving with kids is basically a full-body sport. Between sorting boxes, changing addresses, and making sure your four-year-old doesn’t pack their stuffed animals with the canned goods, things can get chaotic fast. Whether you’re moving across the city or across the country, staying organized is your best chance at surviving moving day with your sanity intact.
That’s where a printable checklist comes in.
But not just any checklist. You don’t need a corporate-style inventory sheet with barcodes and item numbers. You need something simple, practical, and totally mom-approved. The kind of list that tells you what to actually do in those critical days before, during and right after a move.
This list I’m sharing today is easy to follow and doesn’t feel like work to use. It’s just the right mix of structure and flexibility, with enough space to jot things down and keep everything in one place. Whether you’re tackling your first family move or you’ve been down this road before, it helps to have something in your hand that reminds you of all those “oh right” tasks that are so easy to forget.
Here’s why this list worked for me (and why I think it’ll work for you):
- It covers the must-dos without going overboard
- It gives you space to write in your own notes and specifics
- It’s easy to print and stick to the fridge or keep in your bag
- You can share it with your partner, babysitter, or anyone helping out
Let’s be honest. Between school drop-offs, dinner prep and last-minute cardboard box runs, nobody has time to make their own moving timeline from scratch. That’s why I recommend this free printable moving checklist. It helped me get organized without making the process feel like another job.
So grab the checklist, pour yourself that second coffee, and start checking things off one by one. You’ve got this.
