As Valentine’s Day approaches, it can be difficult to celebrate the holiday right after moving into a new home. However, the local Austin movers at All My Sons want to make sure that you and your family enjoy your first Valentine’s Day while moving into your new home!

After moving, you may be tired or a little more financially strapped than usual. Not to worry, check out these 3 tips for celebrating Valentine’s Day while moving.

Test out your new kitchen!

What better way to familiarize yourself with your new kitchen than putting it to the test and seeing what it (and you) can do. No need to go out and wait for a tiny table at a crowded restaurant and pay for overpriced entrees. Cook a meal at home for the 2 of you, or make it a family night and include the kids. Whatever works for you, cooking together can help you bond. Look for a simple recipe and split the work!

Make your own movie theater!

Now, your local Austin movers understand that not all things in your home may be set up, but work with what is! Connect the TV to an outlet and a DVD player, and have yourselves a private movie marathon. No couch? No problem! Grab some pillows and blankets and build a makeshift mattress area. You will enjoy being creative together and spending quality time.

Create a statement wall!

Moving into a new home is the perfect opportunity to change up the décor in your home. After moving, paint a wall as a statement wall and make it unique by adding pictures, quotes, or whatever speaks to you. If you want to add a temporary message or decoration to the wall, use putty or double sided tape to personalize the wall. Your partner will appreciate the effort and the wall will be a lasting memory in your new home!

Local Austin movers know how important it is to make meaningful memories in your new home. Don’t let the stress of moving inhibit your Valentine’s Day this year!
