Today, as promised, I am sharing with you the Ever Kelly moving labels.
I suffer from a condition many of you may know called labeling fatigue. Give me a sharpie and I start out with the best of intentions. Boxes 1-3 have an essay on the side with a detailed list all the way down to stuff like “meat thermometer.” Boxes 4 and on get labeled “stuff” or the ever popular “miscellaneous.”
I know that fancy moving labels look suspiciously like procrastination, but these were a lifesaver for me. Moving is hard. Having a system helps me stay calm.
The genius part is that there is a checklist on the side as well as space for details. This works great for those mixed up boxes that are mostly your pots and pans, but also have those forks that didn’t fit in the last box. Check. Check. You’re done and moving on to the next one.
Each label prints with a companion sticker (minus the checkboxes) so you can label more than one side on your box.

Tips:
- I printed these on white 8 ½ x 11” full sheet printer labels. Individual labels drive me crazy, so I’d rather just use my paper cutter and make my own. It does take a little extra time, so print and cut BEFORE you move. If you are moving today, I would recommend that you skip the labels, get your marker, and GO.
- These categories are probably not an exact match for your house so scribble away. Circle, cross out, and make them yours.
Enjoy and take care of yourself, ok?

Care to comment? Go for it. Be bold. Do it! But niceness counts, right?
I love the moving day labels. I’m using those the next time we have to move. Genius!
