Everything Inside of the APRIL Brave Crate!!!

It can be hard for me to find the energy and motivation to celebrate life’s milestones while my spouse is deployed. But when I dig past the exhaustion, the loneliness and (to be honest) the guilt of celebrating while my loved one is deployed. I remember that finding joy in life’s milestones (big and small) is essential for those of us who are determined not to wish away the days during deployment.
This month Brave Crate is celebrating two full years of counting down deployments with military spouses around the country, and we’re taking our own advice by making intentional time to honor the moment with our Celebrate themed box . This months box includes some of our favorite brands featured in Brave Crate throughout the past year.
