Throw everything you DON’T want the packers to move into one room, close\/lock\/put a tape “X” over the door and make it the “Do Not Pack” room.

Once the movers are through, we will redistribute what’s in this room a little better. We’re staying in our house for 9 days until closing…then we’ll stay in a hotel for 4 days. By the way, everything in this room has to fit into our Odyssey, Prius, and the car top carriers for both vehicles…plus space for the boys and the dog.

Some of it is on Craig’s List right now, but not going anywhere.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
