Use winter clothes and linens to pad breakables and damageables (is that a word?). Use it to wrap your silver, glass, serving dishes, crystal...
Assign each box a number. Then, on a computer or palm, make a list of what is in each box. Don't write the contents on the actual box, just in case any movers have sticky fingers ;-).
Before you do anything, locate all important documents: passports, ketuba, birth certificates, cheque books, contracts...etc and place them into a designated bag that you will keep on you during the move.
Another good tip, borrow a jolly jumper from someone. When the moving day comes, put Nati in the jolly jumper to play so that he'll be entertained, but staying in one spot.
Also, the morning of the move, roll up all bed linens in a duffle bag so they are easily accessible after that long day and all you'll want is your bed to cuddle up into.
I do not envy you a move, we have moved 10 times in our marriage, so I'm an expert but am getting too old to do it more! heh. good thing we own a home now. The only downside of NOT moving so much is the acculamation (is that the word I want??) of so much damn STUFF. Garage sale time!!
ANYHOOO>>>>>got off on a tangent there....have a great move and I hope it all goes smoothy for you!!!!

At first I misread this as "Coco Cola bottles" and was about to ask how on earth you managed that.
