Getting Butttoned Up Can Actually Relieve Stress!

"I'm never moving again," I told my husband as we unpacked the last box after our international move from Boston to Munich. That is, until I saw the Moving.Kit. The fresh, clean pages, the stickers, the dazzling organization and the address change Web sites they suggest! I had stars in my eyes as I shared it with my husband over dinner.

"Let's move again!" I suggested. He didn't stop chewing. Did he hear me? I tried a more direct tactic. I placed the book under his nose.

"And HERE's how we're going to do it!"

Seriously, the Moving.Kit is one of the best things on the market for those of us who fear the "whip-chit" sound of packing tape. It organizes your move into months, weeks and days. For people like me who lose track of the essentials, it keeps you focused when the stress gets you down. They even offer off-beat stress-relievers to keep your sense of humor.

I am actually looking forward to my husband coming home one day (soon) and saying, "Remember that company I visited in San Diego last month...?"

California, here I come! (Yes, even expats get homesick every now and then).

GetButtonedUp.com offers other neat books such as the Crossitoff.List book. With tear-out, carbon copy notes, you can remember to whom you've delegated what. It's a great gift idea for anyone you love who's overwhelmed with daily tasks. I particularly liked the Life.doc book for essential documents such as birth certificates and other important information - a must-have for aging parents and grandparents alike.
