I love seeing military spouses defying the odds and becoming their own bosses. As a blogger who loves creating products and the art of branding, I really love when I see a military spouse knock it out the park. We have some exceptionally top of the line products that are coming from our very own and with Christmas nine days away…I just had to share these top gifts and shops from military spouses.
