Here are a few of my favorite resources I have found online for those inevitable deployments, and stressful PCS moves. Anything from my go-to blog to amazing companies that will make your PCS move and deployments easier to manage. I am so excited to share these resources with you! Share in the comments your go-to blogs and must-haves, when preparing for a deployment or PCS.
Military spouses are stronger together, so here's to happier and easier deployments and PCS moving experiences!

BoxOps
PCS Moving Must-Have
Shea is an Army wife with two kids, and the owner of BoxOps!
She started working on her business in 2018 after a horrible move. Previously they had always moved themselves so this was a big wake-up call.
That's when she realized that if she had been more organized & aware of the process, it would have been so much smoother - so I set out to help others be more prepared!
She started out trying to improve what was available with some basic color-coded moving labels and it snowballed from there - they've evolved a lot over time and now she is launching new designs soon that will offer the best functionality on the market!
