Proud Momm
I'm moving out of my moms house for the first time ever. I just want a small one bedroom house/apartment with me my small dog and my cat. I'm moving out in January so I want to start picking up everything I need to have for the new place. I do have a box dish set including cups plates bowls and silverware and a set of sharp knives.. I need a full list of anything else I may need because like I said I have never done this before! Thanks for all your help!!
Oh I have everything for the bedroom. I need a lust of bathroom, kitchen, and living room supplies!

This is the fun part! When I moved far away once, I had ONE day to find an apartment before starting work. I had all my camping gear with me and slept on an air mattress and cooked with aluminum camping pots for 2 weeks!
You will probably need:
- a microwave
- toaster oven (if you get a larger one, you can cook small meals in it)
- oven mitts and
- dishtowels and scrubber
- coffee maker
- blender (not necessary unless you cook a lot)
- set of pots and pans (incl large pot if you cook pasta)
- colander
- lg spoons for stirring, including a slotted one
- Spatulas
- lg bowls for mixing
- paper towel holder (those ones that look like sticks on a round thing are good and involve no nailing onto the wall
- broom and dustpan
- vacuum cleaner
Many people forget useful things like:
- extension cords
- surge protectors
- light bulbs
- extra lamps and tables (incl. coffee table) - check out second-hand stores and start calling relatives for furniture!
- sofa (fold-down futons are useful, for you and later, guest:
- guest bed and sleeping bag
- laundry basket and caddy for laundry detergent, etc.
- garbage and recycling bins
- garbage bags (lg. and small)
Important items:
- flashlight
- fire extinguishers
- batteries (incl. ones for smoke detectors, remotes, game controllers, etc.)
- First Aid kit
- DUCT TAPE (a million + 1 uses!)
- wireless motion sensor alarm for your door.
- door brace (if you live in an apt. building--keeps people out at night!).
- spare blankets, clothes, food + water for emergencies.
- storage bins (clear ones are good so you know where stuff is
- hangers
- curtains (measure windows first!)
Cleaning supplies
- dish detergent
- and soap
- disinfectant spray cleaner (try the multi-purpose kind for kitchen + bath, pref. antibacterial.
- plunger for toilet
- scrubber for same
- air freshener that gets rid of odors (rather than masking them)
- bleach - for general cleaning, mix w/water, and for laundry (NEVER MIX WITH AMMONIA!)
- boxes or bins to organize all these
bath supplies
- Shower curtain (if there is none)
- shower rings
- soap dish
- soap
- towel rack (get one that goes over the door--no nailing
- towels and wash cloths
- bath mat
- toilet paper
- small sink plunger
- lg. toilet plunger
- lg. plastic bucket for emergencies (can carry all this stuff in it!).
Helpful tools:
cordless drill
cordless screwdriver or regular ones - flat and Phillips head
hammer
nails
pliers
heavy-duty scissors
picture hangers
tape measure
Swiss Army knife or similar, multipurpose tool
That's all I can think of now. Of course you don't need ALL this stuff right away, but just keep the list on you for when you're near a Dollar or discount Store!
See link below for good ideas and more links. Have fun!

Answer
Look for someone in your area that has a big garden or lots of flowers, they might like someone to help with weeding and watering the plants. You might get $3 or $4 an hour if you do a good job and listen to what they tell you and do the job their way. That's what I pay the neighborhood children to help me.
This is from an article I wrote that will give you more ideas:
Create a flyer that lists the jobs your teen is capable of performing and distribute them around the local area. Church bulletins are a good place to start. Some larger grocery stores have a bulletin board that you could post the flyer, also, word of mouth to friends and relatives.
Step 2
Planting flowers
Summer Jobs for Teens
- Painting fences or houses.
- Selling bottled water at church functions (with permission).
- Shoveling snow.
- Taking out the trash.
- Walking dogs, and or cleaning up the yard after dogs have done their business.
- Washing and or waxing cars.
- Work in the yard, clean up trash, deadhead flowers, help with planting, watering plants, raking leaves, cutting grass, trimming grasses, or trimming hedges.
Step 3
Mother's Helper
Other Teen Jobs
- Babysitting.
- Baking cookies or help with meal preparation.
- Help with aging parents.
- House cleaning - dishes, wash floors, vacuum.
- Mother's helper. This could be helping with laundry, carrying groceries, picking up toys, sweeping floors and just keeping an eye on younger children for a few minutes while the mother prepares dinner.
- Odd jobs, this is a catch-all for anything else that may come up.
- Painting a bed room or dining room.
- Pet sitting, some time when people go away for a few days, they need someone to feed their pets and give them water.
- Possibly creating Web Sites using free sites.
- Reading to younger children at the Library.
- Run errands like going to a nearby store.
- Tutoring.
Step 4
If you are artistic
- Face painting at church functions.
- Stepping stones can be made from concrete and paint.
Step 5
Your Potential Customers
- Churches.
- Elderly people.
- Single moms.
- Someone with a large lawn or garden.
- Someone with lots of dogs.
- Someone painting a house.
Step 6
Safety Precautions
Parents should always know where their child is working. When starting and leaving a job, they should call a parent or another family member, to let them know where they are.
Local jobs work best. Teens should be able to walk or ride their bikes to job site.
Teens should only apply for part time employment, they are too young and can only concentrate on a task for a shorter amount of time.
Teenagers should never go door to door by themselves, even in their own neighborhood.
Be sure to talk to your child about each job they will be doing, and give them specific advice they need for the job.
