My main concern is damage to furniture - we will be storing everything while we do a house search. Any advice and input is greatly appreciated. So how did your experience with PODS go?

We park closest to the play area, where I pass the least amount of stores, and park ourselves in the play area. I pack a lunch for the kids and we take our lunch over to the benches or I tell them that we will go to the food court on the condition that everyone understands that we will NOT be buying any food. They are so happy to get out that they don't even care :) Do you have a Mothers & More in your area? I am not sure where you are located, but when we moved to the Midwest, I found a great local chapter that has made all the difference for me! I do all of the playgroups that don't require money (home playgroups or public meeting locations). It works out well!!
