Anna from "One Day at a Time..."
I loved her idea about the shoe boxes for the kids. I am definitely going to do this - it completely satisfies my sentimental side. It was creative, thoughtful, and very practical.
BUT....
There really were an amazing amount of incredible ideas. You all made such a difference in my outlook, now I feel like I have many more ideas that will help to make this as smooth and easy as possible. I can't thank each of you enough for your particiaption. You blew me away!!
Soooo... That being said, there are a few runners up:
Sarah from "smack dab in the middle of life" for her awesome tip on a "first night" box. Amazing advice!
Megan at "Life Every Day" for her great "boo-hoo gift" idea. Loved that.
And Heather from "Running From the Little People" for her idea to pack a bag of the toys that my kids hold most dear. Such great, thoughtful advice.
These three people will have their choice of either a half pound of coffee or a container of Vermont maple syrup. (I'd choose the syrup, personally.)
All my winners, please e-mail me with your addresses as well as letting me know your choice of prize. I actually can't get into my e-mail right now but will be able to after the weekend.
Again, thank you all SO much!

Congratulations to the winners!! You'd think as many times as I've moved, I would've had some advice, but it paled in comparison to these ladies...I'll definitely keep these suggestions in mind for myself.
I agree. I would go for the Vermont Maple Syrup!! When hubs was in Iraq, we had some Vermont National Guard attached to us, and they had syrup shipped to them and shared with everyone!! We just finished our last bottle :( So much better than what we find in our stores here in Arkansas!!
I forgot to post my advice earlier, but you got some great advice. I enjoyed reading them. Just wanted to tell you something I did this last time, C was 5 at the time. I was able to get a copy of the floor plans for where we were moving. Printed it right off the Internet. I let her have one copy at a time and she drew in the furniture and where she wanted her bed. She used it as a map once we got there and showed us around. My little man, watched to many videos, but we survived. ALSO, It is warm here in the south, don't forget to bring some warm weather clothes with you.
Congrats to everyone...Next time we move (hopefully not soon) I'll have some great tips to use too!
Aw, too bad I decided not to participate (we don't drink coffee). I'm grew up in New England, and good syrup is definitely something I miss.
Although, in truth, I wouldn't have any good advice about moving with kids. I've never done it! Can you believe the Navy has left us here for almost five years? And we still have another one to go? But next year, I'll be looking back here for some help doing it. Wyatt will be four years old, and I'm worried it will be a little traumatic for him. Grats to all the winners!
YAY!! I just got back from being out of town and this is an awesome surprise! I definately choose the syrup!
Wow, thanks! I'm so excited! Unlike most of you (it seems), I'm a HUGE coffee fan...so that's my choice:) Especially coffee that is unique to a specific area...something you can't just get anywhere! Yay!
