This unique partnership provides an in-home child safety evaluation, product recommendations specific to the home and expert installation when the new home is a blank canvas. The team at Boo Boo Busters will come into a home to evaluate the danger zones such as railings, pools, electrical and cabinets. They will then determine what childproofing products are needed and install them correctly. Their professional installation service and experience offers customers safe, affordable and attractive solutions for keeping little explorers safe. Once all the furniture, TVs and belongings are moved in, they will closely inspect everything to make sure it is anchored appropriately and out of harm’s way. Boo Boo Busters can professionally baby-proof a home in a fraction of the time it takes the handiest homeowner or handyman. They take pride in what they do and provide only the highest level of workmanship and customer satisfaction.
This new package has garnered a nickname and can be requested individually or combined with any of NorthStar Moving’s luxury services to address a customer’s specific moving needs:

The Baby-Nator – Cabinets locked, check. Pot handles turned in, check. TV anchored to the wall, check. Electrical outlets covered, check. The phone rings, you look away and your toddling sweetie has just discovered her precious head fits through the stair railing. While rescuing your toddler, your crawler discovers that those plastic push-in plug protectors make for a yummy sucky toy. Yikes! It’s time to terminate those baby traps and put an end to pyrotechnics and explosive baby moments. Let the baby-proofing pros eliminate any unsuspecting dangers to keep your little ones safe and give you peace of mind. Has your darling baby turned your home into a home full of danger? No problemo.

She is definitely one of my heroes and a great example to others.”

Laura and Claire first met through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. When Claire was 14, she made a heartfelt wish to Make-A-Wish of Greater LA for a newly designed mermaid-themed bedroom. Laura heard about Claire’s wish and sprung into action, providing NorthStar Moving’s services and organizing of all the pieces needed to create Claire’s room.

“The reason we wanted to acknowledge Laura and her entire team is from the moment we met through Make-A-Wish she has been by our side personally and professionally,” said Claire’s Place Foundation President Melissa Nordquist. “She attends every single board meeting, sponsors and helps create every fundraiser, has literally handed over her marketing team to be our marketing team, and most of all she is a mentor to Claire. Thank you is not enough, they have made such a huge difference in our lives and others.”

“I am so touched by the honor, and feel so lucky and thankful to have Claire and her family in my life,” said Laura. “Claire’s positive ability to find the sunny side of life is contagious and her strength and courage are inspiring.

NorthStar Moving Unveils Holiday Storage and Decorating Services

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2013 — NorthStar Moving ® Company, the award-winning eco-luxury mover in California, has unveiled a new customized package to provide holiday decorating and storage services for those that are feeling the weight of the holiday to-dos or simply would rather have someone else, who isn’t afraid of heights, hang the lights in those hard-to-reach spots of a home.

The unique service is provided by NorthStar Moving’s boutique Los Angeles storage™ service, Storage A-Go-Go®. Their Go-Go-Pros™ handle everything from the set-up of Santa with Mrs. Claus, hanging the lights and jolly décor to the post holiday takedown. They will takedown the tree, twisted staircase garland, put away the lights, and haul it back to NorthStar Moving’s storage facility, so you can continue to park cars in your garage, not boxes. The service is completely customizable. If you’re a hands-on holiday cheer decorator the pros will simply bring your winter décor out of storage and to your door, or if you prefer to relax by the fire’s roar, let them hang the wreath and decorate the door.

“Everyone has way too much to do on their holiday cookie plate, so we thought you could use some of Santa’s helpers to give you an extra hand,” said Laura McHolm, co-founder of NorthStar Moving. “That’s why we created a service that brings you your own personalized elves, who will take away the holiday bah hum bug to-dos and bring back the childlike holiday joy of actually having time to kick back, relax and enjoy the holidays with family and friends.”
This new package can be requested at anytime throughout the year and has garnered a nickname:

The Elf – Make your list and check it twice. Tell your Go-Go-Pro Elf exactly what you need, and he (or she) will lead the reindeer guided pickup truck straight to your door. Whether you need someone to inflate that 30-foot tree for the front lawn or help hanging those icicle lights, your Elf will create that jolly joyful look. Once ‘tis not the season, there’s no need to break your back cleaning up all the decorations. Relax by the fireplace while your helpful Elf packs up the lights, ornaments, wreaths and Santa’s cookie plate. And if you really don’t want to see Frosty for a while, he can be driven away to storage where he won’t disrupt the feng shui of your garage.

NorthStar Moving Unveils Halloween Storage and Decorating Service

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2013 — NorthStar Moving ® Company, the award-winning eco-luxury mover in California, has unveiled a new customized package to provide full-service Halloween decorating and storage for those that are frightened of the time and garage space it takes to make a home the right amount of scary.

The unique service is provided by NorthStar Moving’s boutique Los Angeles storage™ service, Storage A-Go-Go®. Their Go-Go-Pros™ handle everything from delivering the ghouls, goblins and the rest of the gang and decorating, to the post Halloween takedown of pumpkin lights and storage if you don’t have space for the spooky stuff. The service is completely customizable. If the kids prefer to hang the ghastly creatures, then just leave the cleanup to the pros.

This new package can be requested at anytime throughout the year and has garnered a nickname:

The Jack-o-Lantern – Whether you need someone to inflate that 30-foot pumpkin for the front lawn or some help hanging spider webs and eerie orange lights, a Go-Go-Pro™ can create that perfectly frightful look. Once the fright night is over, leave the takedown to the Go-Go-Pro. Enjoy all that candy while the Go-Go-Pro packs up the coffin, monster masks, ghost statues, witches’ brooms, and even costumes. If you really don’t want to see that skeleton and his zombie friends for a while, they can be driven away to storage where they won’t haunt your garage.

“Halloween would be nothing without haunted houses and trick-or-treaters. But finding the time in our busy lives to create the most haunting house on the block can be stressful, and we get that,” said Laura McHolm, co-founder of NorthStar Moving. “Halloween should be all about fun, candy, costumes and most importantly family time. That’s why we created a service that helps take away the to-dos of Halloween, to bring back the carefree time spent enjoying that ghastly décor and spooking family and friends. So let someone else put the pumpkin in its place and soak up those Kodak moments.”

NorthStar Moving and Coldwell Banker Collect Over Two Tons of Food to Feed Hungry Kids

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2013 — NorthStar Moving® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, announced today that their first annual “Let’s Send Hunger Packing” summer food drive competition in partnership with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage raised 4,556 pounds of food to feed hungry children in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices in LA County and Orange County have been competing for over a month to collect the most food donations for their local food bank. NorthStar Moving has tallied the collected food for each office and is very pleased to announce the winners. The “Food Donation Heroes” that collected the most food in their county are San Marino Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage for Los Angeles County and Laguna Niguel Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage for Orange County. NorthStar Moving will give each of these award-winning offices lunch for their entire staff.

NorthStar Moving also awarded Gabriel Castelli of Coldwell Banker Concierge for making this food drive partnership possible, as well as Rachel Burnard of the Hancock Park North Coldwell Banker office, Mary Ann Campaigne of the Laguna Niguel Coldwell Banker office, Joella Merten of the Arcadia Coldwell Banker office, and Kristin Schmidt of the San Marino Coldwell Banker office with the “Super Volunteer” award for their dedication, enthusiasm and tireless work to collect donations to feed hungry kids.

“I have been amazed and so touched by Coldwell Banker’s and the community’s passion and generosity in assisting with feeding hungry children. The food we collected will provide 3,796 meals!” said NorthStar Moving Co-Founder Laura McHolm. “The demand for food for children in Southern California has tragically continued to grow much faster than resources, so every single can or box of food we deliver to our local food banks helps. I was shocked to learn that one out of four children in Los Angeles County and one out of five in Orange County are at risk for hunger every day. As a community, we can make a difference in the lives of our communities’ children. This was our first summer food drive, it went well beyond my expectations and I am so moved by everyone involved who helped make it such a success. Thank you so very, very much! And, I look forward to next year! And by the way, just because this summer’s food drive is over, doesn’t mean you can’t go online and donate directly to your local food bank. Let’s Send Hunger Packing for good!”

NorthStar Moving delivered all of the donated items to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.
