One Week After You Move:

• Get your kids involved in the unpacking process, and help them find activities in your new town.
• Did you get your moving deposits back yet?
• Make sure you have fire extinguishers and fire detectors in your new home.
• Do any quick repair work that needs to be done, if you didn't do it before moving in.
• Tackle some fun first projects to help make your house a home, like hanging pictures and other simple projects
• Explore the new town -- get acquainted, find out where everything is, etc.
• Replace the locks if you're uneasy about keeping the locks that came with the house.
• Check on licenses for pets.
• Update your address for all these: voter registration, drivers license, tax forms, new bank account, etc.
• Start thinking about the larger home-renovation projects you'd like to get started, and prioritize them.
