Welcome to Move Me to Atlanta. My name is Mel Childs, and I am an author and b(v)logger. You may have seen some of my work on home improvement publications such as Parade Home & Garden, DenGarden, BobVila.com, This Old House, and more.

Are you moving to Atlanta, Georgia, or a surrounding suburb and dreading the relocation process? Well, I certainly understand your frustration because I also relocated to Atlanta many years ago for college, and I had nothing to guide me through this daunting process.

Moving here was a major culture and climate shock for me because I moved here from a smaller northern city. Although I moved for college and my reason for relocating is probably very different from yours, it is my desire to assist you in making the relocation and settling-in process easier than it was for me so that you can focus on whatever it is that you moved here for—not the move itself.

Most moving websites don’t include everything you need in one location, leading you on a wild goose chase across the internet. My site is different because I aim to make all the tools you need to relocate and settle into metro Atlanta accessible on one website.

To get started, I encourage you to check out the links below. Also, follow my social media pages to get the latest info on what’s going on around town.
