Moving? SAM can help.

Nobody likes moving. Least of all, me. The last time I moved, it was from an 800 square foot apartment to a 1,400 square foot condo with only two major pieces of furniture and at the end of the day (a very rainy, cold day I might add), my husband and I swore that we would never, ever move ourselves again. You just have no idea how much STUFF you have until it's time to move it!

If you're dreading a move of your own right about now, then check out SAM. SAM stands for "Store and Move" and it's probably the easiest way to essentially move yourself without alienating friends by asking them to sacrifice a whole weekend to help you out.

They drop off a storage container that you can keep for a month or more, so that you can take your time loading up. When you're ready, they pick it up and drop it off where you tell them too. Plus, the website is super user-friendly - you can get a quote online and estimate how much storage space you'll need for what you're moving. (If you plan to use SAM - make sure you use the code CLTV to get FREE delivery!!)

It all sounds pretty fantastic, except for one little thing - as long as these guys are around, it looks like I will, in fact, end up moving myself again...at least I'll have some help from SAM the next time around!
