I'm in the process of getting ready for a cross country move and trying to make moving and packing the least stressful I can. What advice would you give?
When you are wrapping items in paper, don't wrap it tightly and smoothly! You want to crumple the paper up around the item. The crumpling is what protects it; a piece of newspaper wrapped flat and tight around a glass doesn't protect it from bumps and shocks.
