Remember the days when a new family moved onto the street, and you greeted them at their door with warm baked goods? Bring back this old past time! Moving is one of the biggest stressors of someone's life. Whether they've moved to start a new job or found something larger to accommodate their needs, this type of transition is a time when any type of practical help is appreciated. Your new neighbors might need help finding local businesses and shops. Help them get started. Begin by bringing them a meal or something fresh baked from your oven.This is a great way to introduce yourself. Maybe bring a list of local places you love and exchange phone numbers so they can contact you with questions.

A simple gesture like this will open up conversation and show them you're a friendly face in the neighborhood who wants to help them settle. Be a good neighbor.
