I’ve found a site online that sells high-quality, weather-proof, artificial flowers. They are expensive, but they last for a long time. I want to plant a few along the front of the house and in some window boxes from second floor windows. Is this tacky? I’m not a gardening girl, to me its just another chore.

‘I guess it’s up to the individual, I personally wouldn’t do it. To me it’s like putting pink flamingos in the front yard with bleach bottle windmills.
If you don’t like gardening and the "chore" of it, why not try some small size flowering shrubs. With very little or no maintenance.
What ever you decide
Good Luck!

While moving your residence has a million things to tend to, notifying others about your address change should be high on your priority list. In fact, notifying some places before your physical move isn’t a bad idea. The government, of course, requires that you do an address change almost immediately. You may have to get a new driver’s license or registration forms. Finding out all that you need to do in order to put an address change into effect is not very difficult. Stop by a local post office and ask for some information. Post offices should have a packet of information that they can distribute with an address change form for the mail system and postcards already printed that you can simply fill out and mail to places that also need to know.

Two years ago, I moved into a new home. Apparently, the previous residents didn’t bother to do an address change for their magazines. I got two free magazines for an entire year because the post office won’t forward them and because they never changed their address. One of the magazines I found interesting, the other one simply was tossed. If you pay decent money for your subscriptions – any subscriptions, you may want to notify them weeks ahead of time in order to not miss any distributions.

If you aren’t always able to make it to the post office during their business hours, you can find all the pertinent information online. The government has a site – usa.gov that will guide you through all of the necessary steps. You can complete your address change online and save yourself quite a bit of time and energy. Plus, it is always nice to get things accomplished at home, while lounging in your comfy clothes.

Of course, having an address change affects more than just receiving mail. Your taxes and insurance costs may change – for the better or worse. You may have different government officials representing your new town. While that may seem irrelevant, for the more political minded out there, that’s something they very well may want to research. Your local welcome wagon might show up at your doorstep with some local coupons and goodies to welcome you to the neighborhood. Area businesses might send you some information and coupons encouraging you to reach out to them.

All of this simply because you’re completing an address change. All you have to do now, is get your packing done.
