Packing Light

Packing Light: Thoughts on Living Life with Less Baggage | Allison Fallon

IM MOVING! 😆
Throughout January I will be moving into my new HOUSE 🍾
I'm not going to be rushing the process, I'll still be working in my new job, I am redirecting my post in Jan so I will eventually get everything and I'll let me #JBUK ladies have my new address as soon as I know it 🤦

📦 Question for you all. What's the best way to pack book's
#newyear #newstart #newhouse ⬇️

kaysworld1 I was just letting you all know in case you send me anything and I don't reply immediately but nothing is happening till middle of January 👍 5y

rockpools Congratulations! Hope the move goes well for you. If you‘re working in an office environment, I like photocopy-paper boxes for packing books - they‘re compact, strong, stackable and not-too-heavy. Wine boxes from your local offy are also pretty good (but less standard sizes). Good luck! 5y

Cathythoughts Happy moving 👍🏻❤️ 5y

kaysworld1 @Cathythoughts thank you, in my head I am already moved in and cooking 😆 5y

Nute Good luck with moving. When there is time for taking moving as an easy and slow process I think that is best. My favorite boxes for moving small sized but heavy items is the boxes for photocopy paper. They withstand weight and they have handles. 5y

TrishB How exciting 😁💜 5y

youneverarrived Exciting! Are you moving far? We‘re in the process of buying our first house, hoping to be moving in Jan/Feb 😁 I was just planning on putting books in standard sized cardboard boxes. 5y

kaysworld1 @youneverarrived I'm not moving very far just 2 streets away but it's a house and it's very much in my budget 😆 I bumped into a old friend and she mentioned her parents had a house rent to buy so I'm excited. Hope yours goes smoothly for you 😘 5y

youneverarrived Thanks Kay it‘s an exciting time. We are the same only moving a couple of streets up 😂 you‘ll have to keep us updated on how it‘s going 😘 5y

Centique Good luck with the suitcase weights! Kavalier and Clay is a fave of mine - it‘s in the area where your and my tastes cross over - so I have a good feeling about this! 6y

Cinfhen Woohoo🤞🏼🤞🏼 @Centique I loved

Moonglow

Centique @Cinfhen excellent! I have that waiting for me on my kindle 👍👍👍 6y

Cinfhen What, me ?!??? @Lizpixie you post book-hauls every day 😍the KING is a real #chunkster @emilyhaldi but I‘m looking forward to reading it 6y

GlassAsDiamonds Good solid work there!!! 😂😊😊😂 (this is why I prefer airlines that don‘t weight hand luggage....😉) (edited) 6y

TrishB 😂😂😂😱 go you 😘 6y

Cinfhen Freakin Alitalia DOES weigh their hand luggage now @GlassAsDiamonds so I‘m royally f@cked 6y

minkyb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y

LeahBergen Oh man. 😂😂😂 6y

kspenmoll Fabulous! Worth it?!!!😂 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I think you‘re at the “pay for excess luggage before they charge you at check in” stage.... 6y

Cinfhen Oh, for sure @GlassAsDiamonds we knew before we even landed in the US we were traveling back overseas with an extra suitcase or two 🙄😉and it‘s TOTALLY worth it @kspenmoll @minkyb @LeahBergen @TrishB 😍😍😍 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen 😂😂😂 Now... were you smart and bough said with you or did you do an us and have to buy more at home? (It‘s become a running joke that we manage to come back with a new suitcase each time, it‘s getting a tad insane!!). 6y

Cinfhen We brought an empty duffle with us @GlassAsDiamonds BUT we may need to purchase another bag 🙄 my husband is also OVER IT!!! But I honestly don‘t shop all year 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen 😂😂😂 you could literally be scripting our trips home here. To the word...🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤦🏻‍♀️ (if he also has a melt down about not wanting to ship even clothes in said duffle bag, they‘re clones, clones I tell you!!). I waved packets of TimTams around to effect compliance with bag buying... any chance that would work for you? 😉😂😉😂 6y

Cinfhen If only a TimTam would work @GlassAsDiamonds He has NO PROBLEM bringing his shit back but ANYTHING for the house like Q-Tips or Tuna fish cans and he‘s flipping out!!!! 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen oooohhh not cool! 😡😡😡 That would just make me add more books! (Tuna!!! 😂😂😂😂 for me it‘s salmon and anchovies!!! How are these not just universal staples, how?!?!) 6y

1.) we moved about every 8mo to a year from the time I was 2 until I was 17. Then we lived in that house for 7 years and I miss it so much 😭
2.) Dallas to San Antonio and back.
3.) 2 or 3 maybe? Not many.
4.) I still live at home so no, I definitely plan on moving again.
5.) Not unless you count my brother and a few of his friends lol

1. 11
2. St. Paul to Atlanta
3. Let‘s just say, the last time I moved my brother asked, “Do you own anything besides books and Christmas decorations?”
4. I‘ll probably downsize in a few years.
5. Absolutely!

@JoScho Good luck with your packing!

JoScho Thanks so much! 📦❤️ 6y

4 books for a 2 day trip is correct right ?!

Libby1 WILL THAT BE ENOUGH?!?!? 😂 7y

DarcysMom Are the books in a carry on bag? I would worry about them getting lost and having NO books to read! 7y

DivaDiane You have to have some options! 7y

Do you think I packed enough books for the weekend? I always have such grand plans for reading when I go on trips and then I end up so busy I barely read anything. Yet I continue to pack books like this every time. You just never know, so I need to be prepared 😂

AmyG Me too. Hey, you never know, right? It's why I started reading ebooks. So I could save space and pack alot of books! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Me too @AmyG That was my main motivator for getting a kindle! Lighter bags! 7y

carmens.library @AmyG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa my Kindle is in there too!😂 I'm so overpacked, but I figure now I'm prepared for whatever I'm in the mood for... My husband thinks I'm nuts! 7y

kspenmoll Not nuts, just a true book lover!!! 7y

mrozzz No, never enough!!!! 7y
