Moving into a new apartment is a milestone that marks the beginning of independence and new adventures. I’m Alex’s mom and I’ve helped him move six times over the past decade, so I’ve experienced firsthand the excitement and stress that come with setting up a new pad. Each move helped us learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to starting fresh in a new space. That’s why I’m excited to share some tips and insights that will hopefully make the process smoother for both you and your adult child who still needs a helping hand. Plus, I’d like to introduce you to New Start Cart – a simple way to
get everything that’s needed in one haul, without lists, choosing, forgetting and multiple trips to the store or repetitive Amazon ordering.
The Essentials for Your First Apartment
Imagine having the list of essentials already selected and in one place for easy shopping. From kitchenware to bedding to cleaning supplies to personal hygiene items. Having everything in place from day one not only reduces stress for the person moving in but also for parents like me who may be far away or juggling busy schedules. Trust me, I’ve done the countless trips to IKEA, Target, Costco, and Amazon in a haphazard fashion—it’s time-consuming and redundant after a few moves.
Why Experience Matters
After managing my own home for decades and then helping Alex move multiple times, I’ve learned a thing or two about the essentials. From setting up a functional kitchen to creating a cozy bedroom retreat, experience definitely plays a role in knowing what’s necessary and what’s not. Whether it’s avoiding unnecessary purchases or knowing the best way to organize a space, my years of running a household have come in handy. Alex asks for advice on what he should buy, and prior to a move he’s likely to call or text me multiple times a day while trying to pick out the “right” things. Wouldn’t it be easier if all of his questions were already answered?
