Too Busy because you are moving?

Buenas días a todos!

These 5 stress-free moving tips for busy moms will save you a ton of time on moving day.
The moving process is NO fun, let alone moving to a new state! There is so much to do, so much to plan for! These five tips stress-free tips for moving will help you streamline the moving process! Estimates, moving boxes packing + loading-trucks, and of course, getting your kiddos settled in!

You may NOT have family members or friends for miles; so you’ll need these steps to be stress-free. My family and I made the long-distance move to Indiana almost three years ago and boy was it a transition; not only do you have to get used to a new home but there are new people and a whole lot of new places.

Then you have the dreaded moving process that comes right along with the transition. As a mom, I wanted to ensure that the transition for my kiddos was as easy as possible, and at first, I thought it would prove to be an impossible feat….. but we are now settling in. Hoping that sharing our experience with other families may help their move better!

Let’s Get To These Stress-Free Tips!
1. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE MOVING!
If your family is thinking of making the big long-distance move you want to ensure that you research the area; before you get there and hate the neighborhood, the surrounding food, the nightlife, the mall and so many other little things that accessible. You can use so many online tools to learn about your new state to ensure that your picking the right city for you and your family.

Be sure to take notes so you don’t forget! On, the moving side you want to ensure, the moving company + distance and how much it will cost you to get there!
This is one of the best of the 5 stress-free moving tips in my opinion as getting your stuff from point A to B is the biggest part.

2. Visit Before Moving!
While this may seem like a given for most, it’s not as simple as you may think. Meaning visit for at least a week. Go to the mall, talk to the locals, and eat the foods that you love(if you can find it)!
This will only make your permanent move easier as you will know a little about the lay of the land. Even though you may be riding about using your GPS a year later; like me! Its literally triumphant for me if I go somewhere without my GPS. Like I want to dance when I get to my destination!
On the moving side, make sure that you know the distance for your moving quotes! Long-distance movers will ask for distance for your home estimate.

3. JOIN MOM GROUPS BEFORE YOU MOVE!
Once we picked a home… joining the mom groups was the biggest help!!! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Go to FB or IG and search for your city and join as many mom groups as you can! Asking questions in this group really helped our moving experience.
You can ask questions in these groups and get feedback from moms that love their babes as much as you do!

BIG NOTE:
You can find child care and the best schools just by asking another mom in these groups! ( Venting may also be allowed) hA! Joining these groups can also help with referrals to local movers with great customer service! This can help if you want your home set up before you and your family arrives. Look for things like FULL-SERVICE MOVING COMPANY, and so many other local questions. Out of the 5 stress-free moving tips this one may be a blessing, especially if you have no family to help you move.

4. MEET NEW PEOPLE BEFORE YOU MOVE!
Good relationships feel like home! It was tough being somewhere new, and not knowing anyone was killing me! As I am a super social person! After you do step 3, there will be mom things that you can go too!
The question I asked myself over and over again….. Who is going to go with me? You know us girls… we always want a BFF to tag along so we feel more comfortable in a room. But PUSH yourself,  when you’re in a new place, it can feel lonely so go to the mom group events alone(even if it’s uncomfortable) and talk to someone!! Trust me you’ll feel much better!!!

5.PLAN FAMILY OUTINGS!
 Easy to do when you’re in your home town; as family and friends are always passing out invites to a birthday party or get together so the calendar fills fast. When you’re in your new home the days weeks and months seem to go by slowly while feeling like you guys haven’t done anything but unpack boxes as a family in forever.
Going out as a family helps your new state feel more like home and helps the kiddos feel more at home.

It Feels Like Home
Overall, it gets easier day by day mama, and remember you can do this! Each day something will fall into place for you and your family!

Leave a note with some things that helped you with your big move! Or questions about mine, I would LOVE to hear from you!!! And HAPPY MOVING!!! 😊

Skinny Jeans You Never Want To Put Your Butt In

Dear IMB Reader,   No matter how skinny you actually are, there’s no way you should ever be caught dead in these disastrous denim DON’TS. Seriously, just don’t. I’d rather prefer you go pantless; that’s how bad these are. 1. These jeans sure do bring a whole new meaning to the whole, “eyes in the back of my head…oops, I mean butt!” saying. WINKERS JEANS  2. I love a good denim DIY as much as the next girl. Creating cutout slits for your butt cheeks though…defs not a tutorial I want to read! EXPOSED BUTT JEANS 3. Is it a string bikini bottom? A thong? A pair of jeans? Ohhhh wait…it’s a combination of all three! HOT.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES

                    Thursday August 29, 2013, shall forever remain a historic day in the lives of Ghanaians. But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday.
