It’s no secret that there’s a lot to do and take care of when it’s time to move. Transferring care providers, shutting off utilities, and packing boxes are just some of the tasks that need taking care of before moving day arrives.

Whether you’re moving thanks to a new job, a growing family, or to live in a new part of the world you’ve always dreamed about living in—it’s bound to be exciting. Even so, the process can also be stressful—especially without the right tools for planning a smooth and hassle-free experience.

For weddings, rain can be a sign of good luck, but for moving day, it can be a daunting addition to an already stressful day. Weather can be an unpredictable beast and even though we can't change it, we can certainly find ways to improve how we react to it.

For the best chance of getting the moving dates you want, don’t forget to schedule your next relocation BEFORE the busy moving season. So what exactly is the “busy season?
