We all make mistakes in life, especially when in stressful situations like a move.

Parents, friends, families, do you have prying eyes and snooping people in your homes around the holiday season? Are your kids expert detectives and know all of the hiding places in your house?

If you’re anything like us, then your family has boxes upon boxes of holiday decorations that you unpack, dust off, and display every year. From Thanksgiving to the New Year, it’s all about having fun and festive things in your home. But year after year, it’s common for things to get chipped or broken when they’re packed away. We don’t know how it happens, but it’s always a sad discovery when it does. 

It’s officially fall, which means cooler weather, longer nights, and a chance to prepare your winter gear for what’s to come. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to visit areas with snow in as little as a month or two!

There is no better time to move than in the fall: the weather is cooler, the sun is bright, and the prices are often comparably lower than the rest of the year. But, as nice as all of this sounds, moving in the fall still does come with some challenges. Here at Albuquerque Self Storage, we want you to be ready for everything and anything so your move goes as smoothly as possible.
