I am one of the Key Spouses for my husband's squadron, the other is one of the nicest most helpful people I know.
The Key Spouse Program is to help other spouses, we are here for them, being a support system for them while their Husband/Wife is deployed, helping them with sources if they need something, or just be a listening ear for them.
At this moment we have 2 wives with deployed spouses
We thought is would be nice to make a gift for them for mother's day
We made pampering baskets :) The stress of being away from a loved one, to only have a short time to talk to them daily (if you are lucky enough to even get a daily call) to have to deal with not only your daily life but odd things that can pop up with the military, as minor as them needing a copy of something AGAIN to oooh the possibilities are endless (TRUST ME)
It is kinda like you are a single parent during this time, I have been a single parent and with speaking to some people who have or have had a deployed spouse it is the closest thing I can think of how to describe it.
We wanted to make a gift of relaxation and pampering for them
We made
Lavender Bath Salts
Stress Away Bath Tea Bags
Peppermint Body Mist
Grapefruit Lip Scrub
Lemon Lip Balm
Put it all into a basket and will be delivering tomorrow :)
I love giving Gifts!! Something to let them know I am thinking about them, and here for them!
