Congratulations! You’ve secured your next home. Moving can be all so overwhelming and sometimes you can easily forget to pack the essentials for your first night in your new home. If you’re anything like me, thinking about the move alone sounds exhausting, but then you remember how fortunate you are to have a roof over your head.
