| People often choose to relocate when they retire. Unfortunately, they sometimes make the wrong choice the first time, and then they have to relocate again. Here are some tips on how to avoid a bad first move. |
| One of the biggest concerns a parent can have is keeping their child safe. With so much going on in today’s world, it can be easy to overlook the dangers within your own home. Whether your child is running or crawling, here are a few tips on how to best childproof your home. Items to be purchased are noted in bold: |

| You’ve arrived, unpacked and begun to settle in. Perhaps many of your arrangements have been made – schools have been selected for your kids, your new house or apartment is set up – but that doesn’t quite make it home…yet. |
| How long that takes depends much on your circumstances. Do you have relatives in the area, a company “work family,” or memories of time spent nearby as a child? These factors lend a comforting sense of familiarity, even if you’ve just arrived. Or perhaps you feel like I did arriving in San Francisco, 8 years ago, with a job lead and two college friends in the city. I must admit it’s taken me years, but I can now say that I feel at home. |
Storage can be used for many different reasons. If you’re trying to sell your home you may want to free closets and rooms of extra clutter so that the place shows better. Maybe you have too much furniture for your new home; the kids have moved out but you can’t part with all their childhood memorabilia; you want to store items for different seasons; you have stacks of documents that you need to keep but don’t want them to take up living space.
| No matter what the reason, finding a storage unit is made easy here with our direct link to self-storage companies located in your area. Within a few minutes you’ll know what size storage is available, how much it will cost and determine which is best for you. |
You may have a frost-free fridge-freezer combination, but even so, at least twice a year you should check and remove any chunks of ice that may have built up at the back – and take the opportunity to give it a good clean at the same time.
While you might be wondering, why the ice build-up when it’s supposed to be frost-free? Especially as the thermostat is set correctly and the door is kept closed – accept it’s one of life’s anomalies and it’s better to maintain than invite an expensive repair bill.
It’s a nasty job that most of us would rather avoid, but you do have to do a quick defrost every now and again to keep your fridge-freezer working efficiently.
There are just two days left before you say goodbye to your old bedroom, your old backyard where you had some great barbecues and neighborhood parties, and to the familiar sounds of your old neighborhood. Probably by now, you’re ready to go, just wishing it would all be over, anticipating the new start. But hold on; are some things you need to take care of before the movers or moving truck arrives.
To prepare your fridge for moving, clean it well then allow it to dry for at least 24 hours. If you’re moving your refrigerator yourself, make sure you have all the necessary tools to do so.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Have a Happy and Safe New Year from your friends here at Blue Chip!
Happy Holidays from our Family to yours!
Whenever you’re planning a move, the first thing you should do is create a moving budget. Most people who move feel they don’t have time to set up a budget, however, not preparing financially could cost you more in the long-run. Small items such as buying a new shower curtain, sheets or restocking your shelves after you move all adds up. I recommend setting a budget first before you do anything else.
Software programs are probably the easiest way to create a budget template; Microsoft Word or Excel are the best programs to use, with Excel allowing you to use formulas for easy calculations. For your convenience, I’ve created a moving budget template in Excel that will provide you with everything you need, including formulas and easy-to-use breakdown. It blends perfectly with this article.
