moving around
Not staying put
Moving around describes changing position or location, whether within a space or from place to place.
It can be physical locomotion—The kids were moving around too much for a clear photo—or relocation: We've been moving around a lot since my partner joined the military.
The phrase often implies restlessness or lack of settlement.
