packing
Moving is generally stressful for everyone, but seniors can be especially nervous facing a move. Such was the case last week, with a senior client in San Francisco, who was voluntarily moving, from the 3rd floor of her building, to the 1st floor – into an identical one bedroom apartment…how difficult could that really be? [...]
Last week we had the privilege of packing, unpacking and organizing a new home for a Berkeley Rabbi and his family. Our challenge was keeping their kitchen kosher . Simply stated, a kosher kitchen requires the separation of all dairy cookery from meat. Not only do the dishes have to be separated, but so do [...]
I’m working with woman I’ve known for 30 plus years. We packed her up in September so that her house could be remodeled, and now we are unpacking and organizing the house. She promised that she would prune her mountains of “stuff”, but it seems impossible for her to give up much. She is not [...]
Traditionally, most homeowners use cardboard boxes for packing their possessions. A growing trend in home moving is using plastic crates, just as businesses do when they pack their offices. Crates are reusable and offer more protection than cardboard. After unpacking, the crates are returned to the moving company. Check out Zippgo.
Recently one of my clients went through a bit of nightmare when some seemingly innocent actions lead to near disaster… In preparation for her move, we worked through the entire condo sorting what would be packed, what would be stored and what would go to donation.

Our clients moved from Philly to Marin. While they drove across the country with their dog and cat, the moving van arrived here ahead of them. On moving day, the ATH team met the van and supervised the unload and furniture placements. Then we went about unpacking the entire house and organizing everything we put [...]
Recently on a move I used a new moving company and was surprised when they advised their list of things they would not pack or move, like Soy Sauce. Every moving company has their own list of items they’ve had bad experiences with, so you must check with them before you pack. Generally, all moving [...]
Just returned home after spending 2 days in Saratoga unpacking one of my favorite clients. They moved from Danville and my associate, Charlotte Scott of Custom Move Solutions and I packed and then unpacked their kitchen and dining room. The weather was hot, but they made it fun and we got to soak our feet [...]
One of my organizing clients recently moved. She opted to manage the move herself. She felt that since they were only moving one mile away and using a major moving company with a good reputation she wouldn’t need a professional move manager. Today I went to see her new house so we could start planning [...]
Recently, we cleaned out the pantry of a couple we are packing for a move. We found loads of canned goods and boxes of dry goods dating back DECADES! It’s not the first time we’ve encountered bulging cans and melting boxes in the back of a kitchen cupboard. A couple of years ago we moved [...]
